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.

The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant, you can order a room service and have breakfast near lobby but it’s very limited. Kind of in the middle of nowhere.

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.
