Amazing location, a walk to the beach! For the price there is no better location if you want to soak in the Santa Monica vibe. The building is old, traffic is loud, but staff is awesome, building and rooms and very clean.

Stayed here for our anniversary night in Santa Monica and it was wonderful. The location is unbeatable, the price was great for the area, and it felt very safe and secure. The view from our room was gorgeous. My only tiny wish is that the room had been cleaned during our stay — but honestly, it didn't bother us at all. Would absolutely stay here again.

The location was perfect, I could see the pier and ocean from my very large, furnished balcony, and was steps from it all. The room was comfy and all living quarters were separated. There wasn't a coffee maker or microwave in room, but you could go to main lobby and use theirs. There is a fridge in room. For price and location I would go back

Beautiful view of the Santa Monica Pier. Parking is very limited, and costs $40 a night to park there, we used Spothero to find a parking spot nearby for much less. Staff were kind. The room was clean, however hot. There seemed to be no air conditioning, only fans provided. We had the family suite, and the bed behind the curtains has very little room to move around and no outlets. We had to play around with the fans and furniture to get some kind of ventilation for a comfortable sleep. The bathtub looked like it had soap scum, didn't look well cared for. Only stairs to get up to our unit.
