We spent 5 nights at the hotel, which lived up to expectation. The room was beautifully decorated with a comfortable four poster bed.
We could not fault the staff who were welcoming & attentive.
The bar & restaurants were excellent, the food was of a high quality and live music was played most nights of our stay.
The hotel was on the beach front and in easy walking distance to the city centre. There was even a complimentary car for local journeys.
The pool was small but to be...

A lovely well maintained property. I travelled with my young son (age 4) and I would say that the hotel is more for adults and the food/ amenities are not really for children. However, I knew this before booking the hotel and it didn’t take away from the experience. A special mention -Alejandro, who worked at the ground level restaurant-he always made my little boy and I feel special and well looked after. I would happily stay again the next time we are in Santa Monica.

Excellent hotel! We were upgraded to a suite, which was stunning! The staff were professional, friendly and helpful. We stayed at 6 hotels on our family California trip this was the only one that measured up to the images on expedia. The hotel is near busy roads but we couldn't hear a thing in our room despite the suite having at least six large windows and wrapping round the side of the building.

Great hotel with large suites. Only drawback is poor descriptions of suite types. We would have liked a room with a view, but were at the back of the hotel and the small balcony was facing the apartment building behind. Its a converted apartment building with room access from an open courtyard with central pool. As all rooms are slightly different, they don't all have desks, so I ended up working on laptop balanced on a pile of books because no rooms with desks available. Annoying for a business...

Great location so close to the pier. Staff were all friendly and the facilities were great with a nice bar area, small fitness room and outdoor pool. Location was ideal for visiting Santa Monica and exploring the pier, beach and along to Venice area too.
