Perfect location, exceptional staff
Super friendly, super helpful staff. Checked in easily and quickly after being delayed by half a day. Used the valet parking, that was a breeze too. Our room (200) was much bigger than expected, like a small apartment and had everything we need. They location is second to none and made exploring Santa Monica easy! Thanks again to all the staff there.

Highly recommend
The building was historic and beautiful. The staff was very polite, friendly, and receptive to anything we needed. Having 24hr valet service was convenient however we didn't use our car much since we were a block from the beach, 2 blocks from the santa monica pier, across the street from the mall, and righ next to the shopping district we had everything we needed for the weekend. We truly enjoyed our stay and i look forward to staying again.

Haunted for Sure!
Saw Cirque DU Soliel which was great but got back to the room at 11pm and the guest upstairs decided to start walking. Loudly. Until 8am the following morning! Crazy. Tried to call to let them know there's an insomniac trying to get their steps but the phone didn't work. TV didn't work either. And the beds--bad, bad, bad! We came home and selt for two days to make up for this terrible $300/night room.

Charming Carmel
I usually stay here. It is an older property but very well maintained and always clean. It is quiet and I sleep well. They are renovating room by room. No refrigerator, no microwave. Close to Ocean Ave, the pier, 3rd street promenade. TV reception was intermittent this go round but that is not that important to me. More economical than the higher end places and comfortable. Secure parking.

Concert in L.A.
The description says it has 2 bars, it does not. There was no fridge in the room, which is a bummer. The staff was excellent and beyond. The location is superb.

Meh
Stayed before was great. This time the room was above a literal night club so the bass was going strong into the weee hours not ideal if trying to sleep. Bed sounded and felt like it was going to fall apart.

Really enjoyed our stay, although lift was broken and we were on the 3rd floor and hotel decor a little tired in front laces. The location to explore Santa Monica was great, staff very friendly and rooms well equipped and big. Big issue was no a/c and not able to open window because of noise.
