2/10 Poor

It’s impossible to sleep given the loud music at the adjacent bar from 11AM - 2:30AM. Otherwise, it’s conveniently located. Also, the hotel doesn’t have a restaurant - but there are several good restaurants nearby.

The hotel has a great location, however the sorroundings are Ghost towns, beside the pier, nothing left to do, all shops & restaurants are abandoned. I stayed there 2 nights and theres a bar close by that has karaoke nights up until 3:00 am, couldn't sleep at all.

Laura, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

this hotel is fine. location is good. It’s clean and in reasonably good shape. However there is a very loud disco in the same building or nearby. The music goes from 9 PM to 2 AM at night. Even with earplugs in and the air conditioner on I could hear it very clearly, and it woke me up literally shakevthe music note
JASON, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Lift entrance is too narrow and it’s so difficult to walk in with luggages and backpack which I was very struggling for this issue. My room was very comfortable and clean but it’s quite noisy during night because of central place.
Mayumi, 2-night trip

Great location, so close to the Santa Monica pier, restaurants, shops, etc. So convenient to access from the subway….literally steps away!

Small/older rooms

Room was small. The floor creaked when you walked and would make the dresser handles shake everytime you walk by. Bathroom and shower very tiny.
