Excellent hotel, it is a 1min walk to the pier. The restaurant had great food and service. You can use the hotel surfboards and body boards free of charge. Front desk staff are very helpful and friendly especially Clay who is also a surf instructor! One of the best surf lessons I’ve ever had. The room was spacious and the views of the ocean were breathtaking. Overall I highly recommend staying here.

This hotel was very convenient and perfect for our stay! We were able to explore Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach easily due to the location and our room was clean and suited our needs for the time we spent there! The only thing we didn’t love was that the water for the shower was luke warm (almost cold), but that didn’t deter from our overall experience!

Had an excellent stay at this hotel. The restaurant was very good. All staff was very nice. My room was clean and I loved the surf vibe. I was on the side next to the road and the windows kept it very quiet. The location is literally right next to the pier and ocean. Awesome place. Bonus points for carry high quality spring water and Poppi soda!
