The building is old. The insides of the apartment were old. They are not falling apart, but they are visibly beat-up, scratched, not everything works. The kitchen was old and not entirely pleasant; the cleaning crew no doubt tried hard, but there are some things you just can't get out from an old space. Don't get me wrong -- the place was cleaned professionally. It just did not have the feel of a place that was renovated. There are no elevators, and there are many stairs throughout, even for first-floor apartments or just to get to the entrance. We did not care, but if you have mobility issues, that might be a problem. But hey, for the price this place is great! The size of the apartment plus the location outweigh the rest of the issues for us.

The location is excellent. Just 2.5 short blocks from the ocean, a block from the start of the promenade, next to all the excitement of Santa Monica. It gets a bit loud in the evenings from the nearby promenade, but that's what you get for staying at the heart of town. It's north of Wilshire; this part of Santa Monica is generally safer and cleaner. Our one-bedroom apartment was big by LA standards, and the building's courtyard was decent with an inviting pool and table/chairs. It's a great place for youngish crowd, ideal for college students and such. The internet was fast. The hotel has quiet-hours rules, which were followed (and we appreciated that). They have a person at the entry at all times, so if you have a problem, there is someone to talk to. They also have large storage facility and were very nice about storing our luggage.

Only thing we didn't like was we had to pay for parking.

Location was great. We went for a wedding near by but it happened to be walking distance to the beach and pier. The room it self was great. It was big and spacious.

Our bath/shower was faulty, they knew it was faulty prior to check in. Someone was coming in to fix it, however they somehow totally broke it. We were offered a new suite however it was too much effort to move but they were very understanding about us just accessing the bathroom of the other suite. The laundry is also out of service and there aren’t any close by, you need to drive 10mins away. There also isn’t anything in the suite to clean up your mess. Some surface spray would be handy in there. This may sound all negative but we had a great stay just think it’s important to be transparent about these things.

Retro, spacious and great location

We paid over 350 a day thru booking and the room cost quoted at the reception was 188 plus tax. ouch! Maybe there were some empty rooms at a discounted price?

We had the room with the balcony facing California street. The location is fabulous. The place although a bit dated, which we already knew, is spotless and everything works well. The parking space under the building is very convenient.

Room a little bit old.

Really good position close to the beaches.

The location and the space

paying for parking, the room was expensive enough to cover that.

The hotel should asked if we accept not to change the towels everyday so we could contribute to the reduction of water and detergent used (and they would save money...). The personn at the desk on the morning could at least say hello.

The emplacement is great closed to the Santa Monica seafront. The rooms are bright, clean and confortable. It is nice and wealthier to have a wood parquet instead of carpet. Free parking for the car. The personn at the desk on the evening was nice.

Parking is charged as an extra service (but the Hotel makes that clear before your arrival so that was not a surprise).

Location and cleanliness

parking is a little tight.

location is great! the room is spacious and clean. staffs are friendly.

Shower drain was a little bit clogged (couldn’t keep up with the strong shower). Parking is paid per night, I think $20. But it’s covered and they said there’s more spots than number of rooms or something so no fighting for parking.

Big living room and has a kitchen too. Very comfortable for a family of 4. Everything was clean (maybe a little too clean because the floor was very waxy/slippery! Can’t complain though XD ). Great location. Front desk was friendly. It’s an old/outdated building but everything worked, was clean, so it was better than we expected.

Very spacious. Comfortable bed and clean. Location excellent for beach, town centre etc. No frills.

The windows do not block any noise from the street, it is as loud with them open as it is closed. No sound proofing between rooms either The coffee machine was Tassimo and I think Keurig is far easier to buy capsules for (the hotel did offer some Tassimo pods though) Some reception staff can at times seem rude. (Other times they're fine) The younger guy is great and should be promoted. The laundry was broken while I was there and was not fixed for multiple weeks.

Full apartment Some staff are nice Perfect location Good internet 2 big tvs

A little noisy on this trip - combo of street noise and hotel neighbors.

Large, roomy suite in a fabulous location! Nice staff. Lots of parking (an extra cost, but worth it. )

Noise insulation

Perfect location, big suit.

Everything was truly great, super friendly staff, amazing location, quiet and contained with a pool and relaxing courtyard

The property is excellent for kids as I could be in my room and look at the pool in the courtyard. The single bedroom allowed adult privacy while the kids could romp around in the living room! Beautiful windows and kitchen access

Stayed in October 2021

My only complaint is that the outside property lighting came through the blinds. A blackout shade would provide a better (dark) sleeping environment.

It's wonderful to have a full kitchen. The location is fantastic.

decoration is a bit outdated

Location is excellent

Stayed in October 2021

It smelled musty, the furniture could be renovated, as well as the paint. There is no ac but it did cool down as soon as we opened all the windows.

Location was great, the beach was about a mile down the road. My kids loved the pool and I liked being so close to it where I could keep an eye on them. The night staff was very nice and helpful.

Stayed in August 2021

Very old, paint chips/stains, needs updates. Bathroom is small. Many bugs around the pool at night. No AC, but we didn't need it at all. Fans kept the room at a comfortable temp. Pay to park on site.

Bed was comfortable. Rooms were clean. Great location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good place for families. Extra living space was a bonus!

We were upgraded from a studio to a one bedroom king suite with a kitchenette. It was fabulous!
