Easy walk to beach for daily salt water grounding. Close enough to several great coffee and smoothie options including the one in lobby. Easy access to freeways. Super friendly staff. Gym was adequate but limited with space they have available. Beds and pillows were great room lighting system super easy to control all lights from several spots! Highly recommend overall.

Where to begin. No parking lot for self parking. Just street parking that is impossible to find on weekend. Valet is $55 per night which is crazy. Charge you $35 per night for amenities which was only a bar of soap. Shower gown had make up stain on it. Location was good since it’s like 5-10min away from santa monica pier and street. Ocean view? Lol it’s partial. Can barely see it in some room. It was super noisy at night for some reason. I could hear people talking through the walls.

The room was built so that there is a gap between the bathroom and bedroom wall. You can hear EVERYTHING that happens in the bathroom with the loudest, surprising toilet flush. Also the hot tub area was dinky and across the valet parking entrance, so very inconvenient and strange. The actual hot tub was not clean. Our bathing suits needed several cleanings.
