Great service, nice stay
Wonderful experience at check in. Great service throughout. Property is in need of a little bit of a refresh in some ways as things look a tiny bit dinged up or fatigued. But overall a lovely stay.

6/10 Good

Noisy rooms
The place is clean and in a very good location. Our room was facing the back alley and every morning at 6 AM we were woken up by very load banging noise of garbage collection trucks that banged the trash cans with such force that everything felt like falling apart. Heat/AC system has been very noisy too interrupting our sleep every time it tuned on or off. The white noise devices were totally useless in this environment. Getting a quiet room has been our only request prior to checking in.

Lots of reviews for other properties in the Santa Monica area mentioned un housed people being an issue so I was nervous, but that wasn’t an issue at all. The property was super quiet and peaceful. It’s right across the street from an amazing bakery too. I really enjoyed my stay here.

The hotel is very nice but there is a $39 fee to park each night and we are handicapped so we parked on the street using our placard.

4/10 Fair

When we checked in there was a squashed cockroach on the floor. When I went to get coffee the next morning the milk was sour and curdled. The electronics that were supposedly in the room either were not present or didn't work. Impossible to get the TV casting to work, and the white noise machine referred to on a card in the room wasn't even there. When we called to ask for one, the person at the front desk told US to come down and fetch it and then wasn't there when we actually came down. We had to wait for 15 mins with three other people who also needed service. And all this for $400+ a night. What a ripoff.
