I wanted this to be so much more impressive than it was. The website is beautiful, it shows a hotel that is light and airy and looks very beach-chic. But the reality is that the lobby felt a little dreary, and I'm not sure why that was. I just wasn't enjoying the vibe of it. First impressions were just not great. Front desk staff were pleasant enough.
The room was nice and we had an ocean view which was fabulous. In fact the room was good. The bath products was a hit! Bulgaria white tea: what is not to love? I love a hotel that thinks about its bath products. The bathroom was on the small side but well appointed. I have to give a shout out to the housekeeping staff; stopped one in the corridor for extra towels and within minutes they came back: friendly and sweet! Thank you housekeeping!

Stayed here for the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl. The hotel is close to the ocean, the Santa Monica Pier and lots of great restaurants and stores. Coming from the East Coast the decor was definitely what you think of for California, beautiful. The room was great and we had a view of the ocean. The staff was helpful.

Right near the 3rd st, santa monica pier, and the beach, this is a gem of a hotel with a great penthouse bar. Staff is accomodating, only drawback is parking and lack of pool. We would definitely come back though

Dear mobywizza,

Thank you for your review. We are so pleased that you departed with wonderful memories and that you would definitely return.

Overnight parking fees throughout all Santa Monica hotels are similar, but we do our very best to stay slightly below others! Also, our return guests do not really require a pool knowing that the entire Santa Monica Beach is just 1 block from our property!

We look forward to your return soon.
Happy New Year!

The hotel is well located; the beach and the main shopping promenade are quick walks. Rooms are bright, well lit, and a nicely sized. Bathroom is a bit small, but once you get into the shower you'll forget about that. Towels are thick. Loved the robe and slippers. The entire hotel is very clean and well cared for. Every employee is friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful hotel, great location! We had difficulty with checking-in (told room was to be ready in a 1/2 hour and it wasn't) and then once we got into the room, the thermostat wasn't working. They recognized how challenging it was for us to remain patient so as a recourse, they graciously offered us a different room and an additional one so that we could split into two groups (we'd been staying at hotels with our teens for more than a week...anyone would welcome a break after a week of prolonged eye-rolling). Our kids were more than happy to have the break from us, as were we from our little bunnies. It was a generous offer on the hotel's part and showed us how they like to run their establishment.

The rooms have beautiful finishes (including nespresso machines), the towels are lush, the bed is delicious, the toiletries are delightful, and we had a great breakfast at the restaurant. All told, we had an excellent experience for the Santa Monica part of our Southern California vacation.
