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.

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.
