I loved the easy access to the Santa Monica Pier. Do I g was in walking distract and transportation like the Metro, Big Blue Bus, scooters, bikes were easy to maneuver.

Great location just a couple of blocks from the pier and promenade. The hotel was really nice, clean, and modern with a unique colorful aesthetic. The room we stayed in was incredibly spacious and comfortable. The pool was a bit small, could easily get crowded. We would stay here again.

Decent hotel, but for the price I paid I expected a little more. Bed was lumpy and uneven, pool and spa area was average, my rooms window was directly facing another rooms window so I had to keep the curtains closed or risk someone watching us. Parking is essentially valet only.

Excellent hotel but there is the usual LA issue- homeless insane people. Clean up LA or tourism will only keep getting worse

My family and I had a really nice stay at this establishment. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub on the second floor, and the clean and friendly lobby. It was very nice being able to text the valet to get out car ready for us before we were downstairs. I’ll definitely be back for Santa Monica trips.

Standard as far as hotel goes. Pro - location close to all. Con - water pressure is dismal. Ask for a room not facing the train. You can hear it at night. Coffee shop only open mornings and evenings. You out if you need afternoon snack. Wall and ceilings ate thin. You can hear your neighbors easily even if they aren’t making much noise.
