A beautiful property with a short walk to the beach. It was extremely clean and very quiet, we almost felt like we had the place to ourselves. Once we got there, we parked our car and used scooters or walked to everywhere we went.

As someone who travels 30 weeks a year for work, I can honestly say this was the best experience I have had in years. Easy check in, amazing property and room, location 10/10. I want to move in here. Perfect for work or vacation. Fast internet, full kitchen, a block from the beach, 3 blocks to Promenade. Can’t say enough good things.

Excellent location in Santa Monica. Realize when you book this is not a typical hotel. No service in room entire time you are there. No A/C although overhead fans work well. Full kitchen a plus if you need/ want that. Lovely gardens to sit in behind gated area.

Very comfortable and great location. But the price is steep relative to what you’re getting, no check in desk so late arrivals are awkward where you have to call/text to get keys. And the lack of daily housekeeping is not ideal. But it’s a very comfortable stay, and the street parking permit is a nice touch for this neighborhood. I love it, but it might not be for everyone.

The suite we had was freshly decorated and furnished with good quality items. The king size bed was extremely comfortable. The cleanliness of the facility is obvious as soon as you enter the place. It’s not a normal hotel, more apartment suite complex — and so there are no on site amenities. We only encountered one member of staff at check-in, who was friendly, and apart from that we didn’t see any other staff. Upon check out there was nobody at the manager’s office or to answer the phone; not a problem as we’d prepaid — so we just posted the key back through the office door. I would definitely stay here again in Santa Monica as it’s one block back from Ocean in a very quiet area.

Huone oli siisti ja sänky sekä tyynyt erittäin hyvät. Mutta tiedoissa sanottiin, että on pesukone sekä astianpesukone. Astianpesukonetta ei ollut ja pesukone on jokin yhteinen rakennuksessa ja kolikoilla toimiva. Ikkunoissa puusäleiköt, jotka olisi syytä kunnostaa kaikilta osin toimivaksi. Kadulta alkoi hyvin aikaisin kuulua roska-autojen melua. Parvekkeella kiinteä markiisi, joka esti auringosta nauttimisen. Pahinta oli kuitenkin sisäänkirjautuminen. Olin kyllä ilmoittanut tuloaikani, jota vielä tarkensin lentokentältä lähtiessäni. Kukaan ei ollut vastassa. Pääsin portista sisään toisen asukkaan avulla. Sisällä piti soittaa päivystävälle henkilölle. Tympeä mieshenkilö sitten saapui paikalle. Hissi oli rikki ja viidenteen kerrokseen piti päästä kahden matkalaukun kanssa. Todella ärtyneenä ja vastahakoisena mies kantoi ison matkalaukun ylös. Sitten sain vain avaimen käteen ilman ohjeita miten lukot toimivat. Jos et ole tottunut amerikkalaisiin lukkoihin, yritä ja epäonnistu. Ovessa kaksi lukkoa. Ovi oli myös todella tiukka ja vaikka olisit saanut lukot auki, et välttämättä tiennyt olivatko ne auki, koska ovi ei liikahtanutkaan ilman suurta voimankäyttöä. Naapuri tuli ihmettelemään melua ja neuvoi onneksi ystävällisesti miten lukot toimivat. 17 tunnin matkustamisen jälkeen tuo oli lannistava kokemus ja jätti lähtemättömän vastenmielisen tunnelman kyseisestä majapaikasta. 480$ yöltä hinnalla ei mielestäni pitäisi joutua uloskirjautuessa tiskaamaan astiat ja viemään roskat ulos
