Everything looked exactly like the pictures, they had a cool shower with a curtain that comes down from the roof with a button push, and the front desk, janitors, and velets were very kind. It's in the best possible location for Santa Monica. The beach, a surf rental place, the PCH, and great food are all right next to or in front of the hotel. Literally the only problem was some construction going on above my room. But that's only because I arrived early while it was scheduled to end at my expected check in time. So take that with a grain of salt.
Overall a 9.9/10 stay!
