Simple, old-style hostel in beautiful Santa Monica. It's nothing super special but the posters on the walls are fun, the architecture is cute, the staff friendly, and the beach convenient - just go down the stairs and do your morning workout at the old "muscle beach" spot. More

This place is a dump!!! The bathroom smelt like vinegar bc of a leak so they put a soaked washcloth of vinegar on it,abs disgusting! There is a difference between "funky" and an outright dump!! SOO dirty, no parking, the breakfast was awful!!! Total mis representation!!! What hotel in this day and age doesnt have ac!! We were promised a... More

As a frequent visitor to the Santa Monica area, I was always curious about this hotel, mostly because of the Eagles' song. For a lengthy visit, I wasn't willing to chance it, but I stayed overnight last week and my curiousity is satisfied. Although the room was clean, and the evening clerk was very helpful that's about the only positive... More

You might think that the hotel is basic looking from the outside but it is totally the opposite. Rooms are cozy, charming, well equipped and nicely decorated. Has got a lot of style, friendly staff and free wi fi. More

On our family vacation we wanted to be near the water and thought the name was cool. T However noisy, dirty, and no air conditioning. Big screen TV was smashed in our room and things were broken so we asked to change rooms. The bathrooms are mini so you can't even close the door. More

When checking in at the front desk upon arrival, I was asked to provide my driver's license, make and model of car and... More

I traveled to Santa Monica with my wife end of Sep this year. I had to attend a Summit at the nearby Shutters at The Beach Hotel. Our head office (I am assigned to the Asia office) is also based in Santa Monica. We arrived in LA 9/24 and stayed with friends at Irvine. We then moved to Hotel California... More

A lovely little gem in the heart of Santa Monica! Walking distance to the Santa Monica Pier, one block from the boardwalk and a short walk to Venice Beach. Easy bike ride or bus ride to the mall. 20-30 minutes from LAX. Mornings are full of fresh coffee, milk, juice, fruits and pastry in the lobby. We had a two... More

This hotel is conveniently located close to the Santa Monica Pier, and it has the basic necessities. Interestingly, no A/C and luckily we were there during cooler weather. However, the walls between other units seemed thin (noise coming through). It is old, but clean. They only have about 12 parking spaces for the entire hotel - so you can park... More
