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.

The property was under renovation when I visited but staff was pretty easy about it. Even though the reception was non existent due to construction and a nearby restaurant was being used instead the rooms were fresh and clean.

Were there for a quick stay, comfortable and clean room, with a really loud air conditioner unfortunately, which made sleeping problematic.
