The hotel was adorable and affordable! It was very clean and the staff was very friendly! The only negative is that they don’t have AC so the room got uncomfortable at night . They do provide extra fans though.

Great

We only stayed one night but were impressed with the cleanliness and facilities. The location was great too. We used it as a stop off on the way to LAX and it allowed us to go into Santa Monica before an easy drive to the airport. Nice, friendly staff too.
