Lovely grounds and spacious rooms and so close to the beach

Stunning hotel with super friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful decor (especially the reception room with fireplace) and peaceful garden areas.

this kind of hotel should also serve alcoholic beverages

concept of the hotel was amazing

Stayed in March 2024

I know it is old and restored but the "aged" odor was initially difficult to adjust. The windows are original and not upgraded so anything by the streets you will hear the cars and people, however, that area is more of the sleepy apartment side so it wasn't bad during sleeping hours. The bathrooms are nice, mine was a bit dirty or stained I didn't attempt to find out, which I found disappointing. I did place the breakfast room service card outside my door at 7 pm the evening before (it states by midnight) selecting the time option of 8-8:30 am by 8:35 am I called to find out the status (I would have just called and ordered when I woke up) and it seemed it had been forgotten. I finally had my toast/egg and coffee by around 9:00 am. Also, be aware there is no liquor license so prepare to order any wine through DoorDash or pick it up directly as they do not have it.

My check-in experience was lovely, I was treated by a woman who gave us the history and what to expect at the hotel. The rest of the room was very clean along with the kitchen. Overall the stay was lovely, I LOVED the aesthetic not only in the room but in the main area for sitting. So many wonderful places to curl up with a book. I did enjoy it and found the service overall very pleasant and accommodating. I would stay there again if my office weren't such a far walk from it. Having the kitchen was a massive bonus for longer stays and for how much VRBO's are running there, it is an amazing and I am guessing cheaper alternative!

It’s very loud. I could hear my neighbors zipping their suitcase through the wall. I sleep with earplugs every night so it’s fine but if you are a light sleeper you will hear things.

Staff were all super eager to help and very nice. I like that it’s old and has character but if you prefer an upscale hotel with amenities this is not the place for you. My room had a full size kitchen which was nice and it was spotless clean.

There was a weird odor at rooms, and they don’t serve alcoholic beverages.

Building is nice , rooms have high ceilings and spacious.

Stayed in January 2024

the rather vague support on cheap overnight parking options vs. valet parking, the effort to receive a proper company invoice at check-out

Perfect Location, Nice high ceiling room, general athmosphere and interior design, the little yard with fountain

Amazing staff!

Stayed in December 2023

Property needs some refurbishment as it feels dated Not much help with your baggage so travel light It’s an old building so floors and and walls can be ‘transparent’

Great central location in Santa Monica close to the beach, shopping and restaurants Revitalisation of an old property

The hotel has no bar, which is a shame for those of us who like a nightcap. The wifi is low-security. The rooms could benefit from a microwave.

The hotel has lots of character, and is a relaxing place to stay. It is well situated, within two or three blocks of the sea and the same distance from the main shopping drag in Santa Monica. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the room offered a pleasant view out to palm trees.

The room are quite old and the window let some air in but that wasn't a problem.

The hotel is amazing! The room are very cosy and quite retro but very clean and nice. The hotel was very quiet.

Nothing - lack of on-site Bar & Restaurant wasn’t an issue for us. Location is only short stroll from ‘Downtown’ Santa Monica

Quirky, chilled, pleasant change to ‘corporate’ hotels. Friendly, helpful staff.

No breakfast until 9.

Beautiful old hotel in heart of Santa Monica.

Loved it ....the furniture could use and upgrade....

The smell in the room, the bathroom tub and sink were old and cracked

The vibe, the location

Stayed in September 2023

it's stylish and quirky and exactly what we wanted. Location was great also. It just feels different from large hotels and I loved the history. We loved having lunch in the gardens.

The staff were lovely. I'd slept the night before in my car so I was in need of a little care and a nice bed.

More dining options (menu.) Lunch service. Wine/champagne or bar. Savory pm snacks.

Location good, food good.

Not great value for money, paid approx USD 1400 for 3 nights on a king bedroom. For that money they could offer complimentary filter water, instead only 13 dollars water bottle was available. Valet Parking at usd 55++

Beautiful building and decoration, on a perfect location to explore Santa Monica. Bed was very comfortable and room very clean. It felt like staying on a nice house from the early 1900’s. Got upgraded to a suit which was a nice touch by the staff

Stayed in July 2023

no coffee making facilities. charged for coffee when served downstairs and brought up to room. charge for bottled water in the room, $13 would be nice to have the option of a jug of tap water on the bed room daily.

great location friendly staff, small boutique hotel.

The lift was from another century, the bathrooms were incredibly small, it was an old building so very dark inside.

the outside was very pretty and had a lovely garden you could sit in, the manager was excellent very helpful.

It would be nice if they could get a liquor licence.One could enjoy a glass of wine there. The residential location makes it difficult to get one. Everything else was more than acceptable.

I enjoyed the salmon choice for breakfast. The gardens and courtyard were lovely. The open fire that was lit in the lounge /dinning area, was most welcome, so relaxing. The location in a quiet residential area was perfect, with a 10 min walk to mall or beach.

For some reason they charge an extra 100$ per night for incidents and supposedly you get your money back if you don't use it but I haven't received the full invoice yet 3 days after leaving. Also we only got one bathrobe even though we asked for a 2nd one many times. The elevator is very old and only goes to 3rd floor (we were on 4th). There was a lot of draft given that the window in the bathroom didn't close (we weren't really cold but the doors would close very abruptly) and I think how the hotel is designed too. You can hear a bit the room next to you as the walls/doors are thin.

The location is perfect, close to the beach but in a quiete area. Also close to the main attractions in town. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The rooms are fairly big and clean. The beds are comfortable. Good breakfast albeit a bit pricy. The hotel in itself is very charming and well decorated!
