    You will need to pay for parking or you will need to park at the civic center and walk to the hotel.

    Super close to the beach. Very clean and comfortable. Location is amazing.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It was tiny and efficient. Walking distance to the beach. Rooms were a little warm but manageable. Esthetics were super cute, loved the vibe!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great all around , excellent spot to stay and close to a lot of activities and attractions all within walking or scootering and literally 3mins from the beach

    We had to catch an early flight the next morning and hung out with friends on our last night in California so our stay was very short but it was very pleasant. The bed was super comfortable. The room was clean, the place was quiet and very close to all Santa Monica has to offer. Would definitely stay here again!

    No heat or air conditioning. No coffee pot. But still a good stay.

    The person checking us in and the other person checking us out had zero personality. Not very welcoming or friendly at all. The room had no luggage racks so our luggage had to be on the floor, which was extremely inconvenient. There were no glasses or cups to have water. There was no microwave to heat anything up, but there was a mini fridge. They could invest in a few more amenities to make the room more comfortable. I felt like charging for parking was a little ridiculous especially when you're staying at the hotel.

    Nice place close to everything. Not luxury but the staff is nice and the room is a cool little vibe. Small showers and bathrooms.

    Location

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Very clean and comfortable historic hotel. Friendly staff, very close to the pier. A great way to end our Route 66 journey.

    Very clean room and friendly staff. Very close to the pier and beach. Had a great time

    Fabulous location - handy to the beach and Santa Monica Pier - handy to restaurants. Staff where great - very helpful and accommodating. Unfortunately the photos made the hotel look a lot better than it was. Totally appreciate that this is an older, historic building. Although clean the room itself was a little run down. There were five of us and one bathroom which we knew when we booked it, however the sink was stand alone and didn't have a vanity attached to it, so nowhere to put our toilet bags. The toilet was also in the bathroom, making this very small area impossible to use efficiently. The shower water was only luke warm. There were two double beds - one behind a curtain in the living area. The second bedroom - the curtains were in poor condition and we couldn't open the curtains because there was a construction site looking straight in the window. The 5th bed was in the lounge and there wasn't any comfortable seating or a couch that we could sit on if we wanted to watch the TV.

    Only thing good is that it's close to the beach.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    And we never got the money back

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Location was amazing Notification of building works from 7am each day outside our bedroom. Wifi was poor, very important for international travellers. No laundry facilities

  • Engine customer May 2026

    We couldn't get closer to the beach if we tried. It was a lovely experience. The staff was lovely and very friendly. I would definitely do it again. City traffic sounds but hey, it's a busy place beachfront, it's expected. Nothing bad to say about the place.
