Cal Mar Hotel Suites, Santa Monica

most of the hotel guests smoked right outside their room and because of the garden style lay out the smoke and noise came right in the bedroom windows as did the lights from outside. For $250 per night it was very overpriced. The only good thing about the experience was the location, which is lovely. The concierge help was also fine. But generally, it was a difficult experience and not very relaxing to say the least. It would help if they put curtains on the windows to block out the orange lights outside instead of sliding plastic vertical blinds which didn't help.
