Good stay for a family of 6! Large enough space and excellent walking distance next to the beach and Santa Monica Pier. The bathroom was outdated though.

Great Little Trip for a Family!
Very nice experience. Literally walking distance to the beach and pier. I booked the family room which literally was like a nice little 1 bedroom apartment. It's an older building... do not expect 5 start hotel service. I loved it. Parking was no issue for me as well.
