Reliable, clean, centrally located

By La Lady, 4/12/09

If you are staying in the expensive Santa Monica area, this hotel offers a good, reasonable rate. Clean room, good location. Front desk staff could offer better directions and advice for Hollywood attractions, but other than that, I would stay here again.

Good for a start

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/23/08

Tired looking in appearence but friendly staff with some good free extras on top of room rate, gym adequate with some machines and weights station, free carparking underground, good central location some road noise on two sides quiet the other sides, free internet in lobby and wifi, no shuttle service? got taxi too and from LAX. Long walk to Santa Monica shops and beach, rental car places within two blocks, opposite hospital. Seemed a little expensive for what it was. Dont eat at the IHOP unless on a budget. Nice TV and channels got dual bowl vanity as well on one stay.

Disappointment!!!

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/30/06

We travel to Santa Monica frequently and decided, unfortunately to try this place....YIKES! The service was very mediocre--the clerks didn't seem too happy to be working and it showed... The room had very dated furniture and was unclean compared to our other recent hotel experiences, especially the bathroom area and bedspreads. (yuck) The hotel is in a poor location , unless you have to stay close to the hospital across the street. We had to drive and park to get to anywhere good to visit or dine in Santa Monica.. We won't be returning...

My friend picked it out

By Janelle, 5/25/05

It was close to many things like 7 eleven and Jack in the Box. I'm from Ohio and California is famous for Jack in the Box. Also very close to the beach and lots of good shopping. The service was very good. We had to switch rooms on our last night to accomodate a group that needed adjoining rooms. After we switched I realized I left my cell phone charger in the old room. They were very nice and very quick to retrieve it for me. They have a free beach shuttle, the staff was nice, they have internet available in the lobby, and there is an IHOP restaurant as part of the hotel. The only thing I rated poorly was the value. For that nice of a hotel, I know the price is not out of line. I just usually stay in bargain hotels and am used to paying less. It was still worth the money and cheap for Santa Monica.

Good, but...

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/31/05

While the location is great and there's a real breakfast spot below, the price is a bit too high. The hallways felt dark and even damp, the carpet was old. The room was clean and comfortable enough, but not $20 more than a few others nearby. If the others down the street are booked, I'd consider this one again.

Wonderful Stay!

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/21/05

We stayed here for two nights in mid-Feburary. The check-in was very smooth, and we went straight up to our third floor room. The front desk employees could recommend places to eat and things to see. Everything was very clean, and an IHOP restaurant menu, hotel guide, and TV guide were all available in the room. I usually sleep with two pillows, but the pillows here were so fluffy and comfy that it was not necessary. A newspaper was delivered to our door daily, and it was a pleasure to read it down in the spacious, comfortable, and pleasant lobby in the morning. The TV had lots of channels, and the vending and ice machine were just around the corner. P.S. For a great Italian dinner, head to the Bistro of Santa Monica, about three blocks down!

Average stay in Santa Monica. Good place for the price.

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/8/04

Good location in Santa Monica. Booked through Yahoo and receptionist was unable to give me a receipt in the morning and she was not a pleasant person. Odor in the Hotel was that of an old place.
