Absolutely loved our stay. The room was adorable and clean. The location phenomenal. Only tiny thing is that they need to clean the AC unit in the bathroom, it smells a bit musty but not bad. Highly recommend staying here!!

I had a great few days here with very friendly staff, good parking (paid) out front and a comfy bed. My only comment would be that there’s no coffee in the room - had to get dressed and go to reception for my morning fix 😂 and the pillows could be better. Otherwise an excellent place to stay near the beach and town centre.

Everything was great except for the parking. It was a tiny lot that only held about 6-8 cars, and it was tight. The room was awesome, very clean and spacious, and the little sidewalk going down to the ocean was well kept. Very close to Santa Monica Pier.
