We had a fantastic experience with the staff at this hotel. The rooms were cleaned expertly and the staff was so accommodating and helpful when we had travel difficulties. I would highly recommend this hotel to others traveling to the Santa Monica area. The location of the hotel was great for vacationers as we had various sightseeing interests in the area. I cannot speak highly enough about the professionalism of the staff and how they made our stay like a home away from home.

The hotel buildings are older, but the rooms are nicely remodeled. I stayed in the building with the center courtyard...it reminded me of the TV show Melrose Place. Room was nice and clean and remodeled in a nice modern design. Breakfast was adequate. No hot food except a pancake machine. Staff was super nice. They do charge for parking in their lot.

Our room in the gated area was very clean and the bed comfortable. The reception and cleaning staff were all nice and polite.
There’s plenty of parking. Though the lots are very narrow.
The area is nice and somewhat quiet. You can start your day with a quick breakfast option offered by the hotel or walk to one of the restaurants nearby.
It offers a covenient location to the beaches, the Getty and other areas around Los Angeles.

Great space, and perfect location. Access can be tight with luggage and baby stuff since alleyway is narrow.
