Location - amazing. Hotel - quite nice. I liked the self service aspect. Staff I interacted with was brief and OK - no ones going out of their way or anything but they are there if you have a question or whatever. I'd definitely come back - if you're going to LA stay at the beach, y'all. The hot tub / pool / cabana-ish patio area was clean and really nice which I really appreciated. Loved the towels on the lounges. Amenities room and gym were clean and nice looking. Also, used the app to inquire about staying another night - didn't as I decided to just stay close to the airport - but they were quick to respond and kindly presented me with an option and when I declined were nice, said thanks, see you next time etc. Felt safe there even tho I saw someone in the bushes below my window shooting up who knows what.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. The whole process from booking to check in to check out was seamless. We got to LA a bit early and our check in time wasn't due till 4pm but they let us check into a room a few hours early (we were also able to use their bag lockers whilst we went for a walk to the beach). Rooms were clean, up to date and comfy. The staff were super friendly and very accomodating to any requests we had. The heated pool and spa were an amazing feature. The hotel is located in a perfect spot, right near the beach and a brief walk away from Santa Monica pier. Plenty of food and shopping in the area. Will be back soon!

This is a wonderful little hotel - just provides the bare necessities, but gets those right. No food or service included (although cleanings are available). Just a quiet, clean and comfortable place to sleep in a fabulous, convenient location. Check in is via their app (a code to enter the room is sent) and it's all a bit impersonal, but that was fine. There's a club on the roof but I didn't find the noise bothersome, and the hotel provides earplugs and a white noise machine, so I slept great. The very comfortable bed - mini fridge - coffee machine were all appreciated. Good food options one block away.

The location is absolutely incredible, right on the water with beautiful views and a short walk to the pier. There is a fun rooftop bar here but it’s more like a club and was super busy really early on with no residents just external guests - but you can’t hear from your room. The rooms are lovely and clean too. The key on the app worked great too. The valet guys were just lovely and super friendly and helpful everyday.

What a wonderful hotel to stay at, loved the area of Santa Monica, loved the view from our hotel window and loved the roof top bar! We will definitely go back if we ever visit again. I loved the history of this hotel it was so retro and the bathtub 🛀 OMG - love it! I just like to say a big massive thank you to the receptionist who checked us in, she was so helpful and welcoming, she made our stay even better!!
