This hotel was everything we needed. Reasonable priced, good location; a bit of a walk to the seafront but then again you are away from the noise of the bars!
Room was nothing special but had everything we needed.. air con; bath/shower; a safe, and pretty sizeable too.
The ihop downstairs offers discount prices for hotel guests too!

Hello Sean B.,

Greetings from Sunny Santa Monica!

We appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback. We are very happy that everything was to your liking. Regarding the IHOP restaurant, it had a long great run and has closed; our new restaurant will be opening in 2019!

Thank you ever so much for visiting us from the United Kingdom, we look forward to welcoming you back!

The location is quite good, close to the beach, next to bus station and free parking, which is rare in Santa Monica. The room is fine and the breakfast is as good as you can expect it as a complementary service. Great to stay for 1-2 nights while visiting the area.

I am usually not attracted by pretend-antique styles, but I am drawn by minimalistic, modern and clean design.
This hotel is well designed; it has very positive and kind staff and is very well located, with own free parking below.
It makes one feel at home.
I will certainly go back.

I really loved this hotel on Santa Monica Blvd, it has a great location, as it is near the beach, 3rd street promenade and a scenic drive from central Los Angeles. The staff were so friendly and kind, the breakfast was excellent, parking facilities were super helpful and the room itself was really beautiful.

Rooms are bright and clean
Bathroom is clean
But the best thing to mention is BED
It was heavenly perfect!
Probably one of the best sleeps I've had for years!
I don't know how these guys do it, but they are magicians! :)
If you're tired and need a nap - I strongly recommend this place!
