Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms that are worth the rate charged, despite some dust from the air conditioning unit. It provides everything you could wish for in a large and comfortable setting. The service is top-notch with charming and helpful staff, but some room for improvement is needed in training. The location is superb, great for accessing the metro, beaches, and local restaurants. The dining experience varies, with an outstanding breakfast buffet but perhaps lacking in other areas. The hotel boasts good facilities with key amenities available.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of wonderful and noisy experiences. The rooms smelled amazing all three days and were well laid out with a living room area, a flat screen TV, a fold-out couch, a small fridge, and a coffee setup for the morning. However, the noise levels were a bit high. The availability of additional spacious rooms with better configurations was a big plus as it ensured not disturbing others during nighttime bathroom visits.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The location was excellent, just a short walk from 3rd Street Promenade and the beaches, making it easy to access attractions. However, the rooms lacked balconies and some needed updating, with threadbare bedding. Service was friendly and efficient, while the dining experience left much to be desired with slow service for simple orders.
The hotel offers spacious and lovely rooms with a balcony, ideal for a comfortable stay. The service was friendly and efficient, ensuring a hassle-free experience. The location is convenient for exploring LA and Santa Monica attractions. However, the dining experience could be improved with quicker service. The facilities were satisfactory, offering a pleasant overall stay.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were reasonably clean with a balcony offering an ocean view, but there was a terrible smell upon entering, and there were intermittent noises resembling a garage door throughout the night.
The hotel is conveniently located within a 5-minute walk to Santa Monica Beach, shops, and restaurants. While the rooms were loud during the day due to construction noise and had a lingering smell of weed, they could be improved when not occupied.
The hotel had a mixed experience with spacious rooms suitable for a family but not very clean, with a convenient set-up for breakfast, overshadowed by the view of the freeway and a nearby shelter. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful, offering various accommodating amenities. Despite being priced appropriately for its location, some aspects of the hotel fell short of expectations.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, but the service can be overpriced. The location is excellent for exploring Santa Monica and the beach, with good facilities overall.
If you're looking for a hotel that's great for families with kids, this is a good option. The rooms, while not offering the best views, are spacious with a separate living room and pull-out couch for extra sleeping space. The location is convenient for exploring Santa Monica, but the hotel facilities could use some refurbishment.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was spacious enough for all our bags, but the view was disappointing, facing a car park instead of the sea. The room felt dated with old A/C, a tiny balcony, and dim lighting, although the bathroom was bright and airy, equipped with necessary amenities.
The hotel was a pleasant stay with friendly and helpful staff, offering good-sized rooms with everything needed for a family. However, room availability was a bit of an issue. The location was super convenient for exploring nearby attractions, but there were some issues with exposure to other guests. The dining experience was broad, but some found it basic and overpriced.
