Hotel was older and smelled musty when entering the hallway, room was large and cozy, the bathroom was large and very clean. Still had a bathtub and shower curtain instead of a nice walking shower…the bed was the most comfortable bed we slept on in any hotel!! The bedding and pillows were very comfortable and the A/C unit and heat was great! Overall great.

We enjoyed our stay there. It was centrally located so not too far away from the beach in Santa Monica pier. And also the third street promenade. Even though the hotel is located on the main street it’s pretty quiet inside the room.
