The renovations to this property are tremendous - wonderful set of improvements for a well situated, higher end experience in Santa Monica for a correctly priced hotel. Valet service is top notch- also especially nice are the new jacuzzi and downstairs food convenience~ and of course the restaurant and bar upstairs remain distinct city assets. Well done-

I’ve stayed there many times. Always reliable. This time, however, no one mentioned that there was construction going on right next door. At 8am every morning, the drilling started, lasting all day. Not very peaceful.

This was a great hotel and the location is perfect. It is truly in the center of the city with tons of options all around. The train station is a five minute walk. Lots of delicious restaurants very close by.
