a comfortable place to land”
A much more affordable spot if you are willing to walk a bit or take an Uber or Lyft. You can still enjoy everything Santa Monica has to offer, as well as the rest of LA. Beds are very comfy and rooms/bathrooms are spacious and clean. Be sure to request the top floor. I switched rooms because the people above me kept me up most of the first night there--lots of stomping around. Staff was really nice and accomodating, however.
A good choice for Santa Monica on a budget”
The hotel room was clean and staff were very friendly and helpful. There are not a lot of amenities, but the free breakfast was nice. The location is about a 5 to 10 minute drive to Santa Monica Pier, but there isn’t much directly around the hotel itself. My only complaint is that when we turned on the AC, there was a strong mold smell. We opted for just keeping the window open and the smell went away fairly quickly.
Comfortable stay with family”
Spacious rooms, thanks for the breakfast cupons, friendly and helpful staff making the stay comfortable. The breakfast has variety even though it is the same selection daily. The front desk staff helped us to book a taxi to the airport. If travelling as a couple or family, it is good to use taxi service as it's more value for money than paying for airport shuttle. Bus stops nearby can bring you to downtown Santa Monica or other parts of Los Angeles.
Convenient but noisy”
Our room was at the intersection of 20th and Santa Monica Blvd. There was lots of traffic noise. Otherwise very good.
would recommend ..... ”
hotel is about 2/3 km up from santa monica pier ..rooms are very clean ,with plasma tv and fridge . free parking for guests ...ive stayed here 3 times .so i suppose that says it all really .. On a different note ..... be care who you book the hotel through ...this company goes missing if anything goes wrong ...
Very good”
Good place with lovely staff. Touch out from Santa Monica but by no means a hard trip into the main locations.
Great location in heart of Santa Monica”
Great hotel located close to heart of Santa’s Monica. Very clean and friendly staff.
Parking Included!!”
Nice rooms, big beds. It’s not a fancy or upscale hotel and kind of could be an upscale motel but everything worked and there is parking included in your room fee so in LA, that is precious!!! Price is also decent!
Good feedback ”
My husband and me enjoy the 3 nights stayed there, room was clean, staffs are friendly, the complimentary breakfast was simple but in good quality and conditions of serving... it’s better than my expectation, it’s a bit far from the pier, have to take Uber or bus. Overall it is a good hotel !
Great value for the area”
The room was spacious and clean. I was on a road trip, so free parking was a big plus for me. Other more expensive hotels in the area charge $40+ to park each night.
Clean and comfortable hotel”
Good size hotel room with basic amenities and facilities. Catered to our needs. Reception staff was friendly and efficient.
Good option in santa monica”
Location is great - few minutes by car to the pier area Rooms are nice and comfortable, especially the beds Good service by all staff Breakfast was quite poor and basic Plenty of parking which is a big advantage included in room price Recommended!
Suitable for our needs, free parking a +”
We were in town to visit family so not spending a lot of time in our room. That made our stay perfectly fine. If you're looking for a top-notch aesthetic this is not the place for you, but it was clean, with all the amenities we needed. We weren't expecting continental breakfast but it was available so that was a value add, although not as extensive as some of the well-known chains might offer. Would we stay here again? Probably yes. We don't need a plush room overlooking the beach, and the convenience of easy access to main roads is a plus.
Excellent”
Our room is clean and nice-furnished and we also like the free continental breakfast. But it seemed to be an about 30 minutes walk to the downtown/beach so we still had to drive there anyway and the heater kept making loud noise whole night that we turned it off in the end.
Excellent mid range hotel”
Rooms spacious, good sized reasonably modern bathroom with toiletries provided & plenty of towels. Front desk always has at least 2 members of staff on duty & all very friendly & helpful.
Not big enough for a crib ”
This review is solely for travellers with kids that need a crib. The room is simply not big enough to fit a crib comfortably. It ended being squished into a corner. The A/C is also very strong and makes almost half the room too cold to place a crib (even when the fan is on low.) The breakfast was also too sugar-heavy to feed anything to my 1-year-old. It could’ve used some eggs or cheese. If you have a kid that needs a crib, look elsewhere.
Wake up alarm”
My experience overall at this hotel was okay. What was upsetting was the fire alarm going off at 7:30 in the morning! This woke me up way to suddenly and no explanation was given after.
Location”
Location is important and this place is quiet. It is away from 3rd Street and was a better deal than most. No malfactors or noisy children..
Free parking and breakfast ”
Good value including breakfast and covered parking. Location could be better, but a quick uber or bike ride from all of the attractions by the beach.
Excellent customer service”
The staff are so helpful and professional. They go above and beyond to make your stay pleasant. Super clean place, loved it! It takes about 30+ mins walk to the pier but cheap taxi drive there.
