The location is great. Because it's dog friendly, the room had a bit of smell to it. I'm not sure about the cleanliness of the sheets/pillow cases.

Nice and clean hotel. Very close to everything. Get the parking for $29 on the premises, much more convenient than looking around. Walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants, want Monica Pier.

I always stay here— the location is exactly the same as a $1000 a night hotel next door—walk out the door to the beach—great restaurants (the Coast is 3 minutes away and the food is amazing)—the Pier is 5 minutes away—tha airport 25 minutes The rooms are simple but sufficient and very clean— the staff is great *****

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The location is extremely close to the beach and peir. The bathroom could use updating. The bathtub had some damage and the faucet was kinda broken. The day bed was not comfortable. When I told them at the front desk they thanked me for letting them know. The other beds were very comfortable and the room was very clean. I thought it was a little pricey but I guess the location is everything. Staff was very nice. Overall good stay.
