The staff are super friendly and very accommodating. At first glance I was a little concerned by the appearance, and you might be too, but, don't let the reception decor and hallway carpet fool you. The room was very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was in excellent condition. I highly enjoyed my stay and would book again.

Friendly hotel, is a little dated but clean and rooms have good amenities. The staff very friendly and attentive, I would say excellent unlike other reviews read. The hotel is ideal as base to visit Santa Monica downtown and pier and felt very safe. The downside was one night there was a party in a neighbouring establishment which made sleeping difficult. I would however recommend the hotel as a great place to stay.
