It was great.
Gurvinder, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay

Very nice. Older motel with very nice updates. Very good value. Free parking was a huge plus. Good towels and linens. Extremely clean. No air conditioning but they did provide a box fan if needed. We slept with a window open and the ceiling fan. Mattress could have been softer.

Great stay. Would stay here again.

Great location. Minutes to everywhere we wanted to go. Front desk and housekeeping were ALL friendly and helpful. It is a little older hotel but i would absolutely stay here again.
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A resort you are not

Charging a resort fee is outrageous. You get nothing for it. It is not a resort. Then you charge 3$ for a bottle of water. Over priced.

The room was very clean and comfortable, the service was excellent, and we could easily walk to the beach. We have stayed there twice and will continue to do so whenever we visit family in Santa Monica.

Staff was great. Room was nice and very clean.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Ok, but not for light sleepers.

Cute, boutique hotel. It is loud, however, which is somewhat to be expected from a motel setup. I pretty much heard every car door and key lock beep throughout the night. Also, our window didn’t lock right, which was concerning for a first floor room. Overall, it’s fine, but not what I expected for the price. Not sure I would walk to the beach from here.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very pleasant stay

Stayed 2 nights, staff were friendly and accommodating with parking our car early and looking after our luggage. Also there was a very small complimentary breakfast grab and go offering that we weren't expecting which was a nice suprise. The room was very hot, we mentioned this to the staff and they were very kind but said there was little they could do. It didn't affect our stay overall though as we opened windows overnight. Room was well decorated and very clean. Some odd clientele but again didn't affect our stay and no one made excess noise. Rooms were also pretty sound proof. Only thing missing was a safe in the room (having said that, we accidentally left our door open most of the day while we were out and thankfully everything was untouched). Would stay again and recommend to other. Good value for money.
