I thought this boutique hotel was charming. No its not the Paris Ritz but it was comfortable & left me some bucks in my pocket to enjoy good restaurants & shopping in the near proximity. I was warmly greeted & always called by name. The bedding was fresh & extremely clean & a nice mattress. Housekeeping kept my room more then acceptable. The large flat screen t.v. worked well with a good picture. I felt this hotel was very European in style. Yes it was older but traveling often in Europe or London I have had similar hotels.. I always carry ear plugs & a sleeping mask but did not need them here. I slept well. You will get your monies worth here & your will be able to go to the Getty Villa, take in a movie close by, Walk to the pier & shore line & feel as tho you are in a resort city. I would definitely stay here again. I needed a hotel while my residence was being tented for termites so a 3 day stay was necessary. I had seen this hotel before when driving to Santa Monica & decided to give it a chance.. Ask for a floor on upper floor & request a quiet room if you like to stay in your room a lot but I doubt that with all the activity in Santa Monica you will. This hotel is a perfect friendly, clean comfortable place to stay. More...

If you stay in Santa Monica in the centre of everything, you have got to expect street noise in an older hotel.|| Great beds, lovely staff, very friendly. Only 15 mins Uber from LAX so for us being in transit it worked well. More...

Located at the heart of Santa Monica touristy area. Lots of things to do, eat and see around the area. Hotel is as expected, old but they make it as pleasant as possible to make it worth your stay. Coffee and pastries every morning, good way to start your day. More...

La camera era abbastanza ampia e confortevole. Comodo il letto, buona la pulizia. Lo staff dell'albergo è disponibile e gentile, nel complesso è un buon albergo considerata anche la posizione a due passi dalla spiaggia e con negozi e ristoranti raggiungibili in pochi minuti a piedi.

Service was good, constant issues with the wifi though which is a hassle being an international traveller. Second time at this hotel, service is lovely and the continental breakfast comes in handy too. Rooms are neat and tidy, and the added security of a night is peace of mind. More...

This hotel exceeded our expectations. The price is excellent compared to other hotels in the area. It is not fancy but met all our needs. I would stay here again.

A couple of blocks from Santa Monica pier and very walkable location to lots of restaurants. Older hotel, quite quaint. Very friendly staff. Room was small, bathroom very small but really quite charming as a whole. Very clean. Costs $25 per day for valet parking per day and they will retrieve your car multiple times per day so you can go in and out if you wish. More...

Great location in Santa Monica, 2 blocks away from the Pier and 1 block from promenade. Beautiful building and friendly staff, room are spacious but a little bit small. Despite it doesnt include breakfast you have 2 great bakery just a few steps from entrance. I will definitely come back! More...

Just a good, plain, older hotel. Wish I had known of other parking options . Valet was expensive.

Excellent location, very close to the pier and beaches. Helpful staff and we had early checking them left our bags so we could go exploring on the last day. This hotel had mixed reviews but was great for us. Would have been nice to have a pool there, but I chose to get a cheaper hotel close to the action so no complaints. No noise issues even though a Saturday night. More...

I like this hotel mostly because of great location and decent pricing. I dislike the noise of huge fan installed in the inner yard, where my windows were and the lack of the fridge in the room. Anyway, I would visit it again.

Fik tilbudt et værelse ind mod gården, men hold da op hvor det larmede fra blandt andet AC , gik ned i receptionen og gjorde hotellet opmærksom på problemet. Meget hjælpsom personale fandt et andet værelse ud mod gaden. Vi havde 3 skønne nætter, desværre er der ingen køleskab på værelset. More...

Die Lage des Hotels ist perfekt. Durch die Lage ist es natürlich aber auch immer etwas laut. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im 4. Stock zum Broadway hinaus. Die Betten sind bequem, das Zimmer war sauber, technisch ist es nicht auf dem neuesten Stand. Für das extrem langsame Internet muss man sich jedes Mal neu anmelden. Wenn man eine Verbindung erhält. Zu Fuss ist man in 5 Min. am Strand, vor der Türe findet man tolle Restaurants und Einkaufmöglichkeiten.Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Wir kommen wieder. More...

Great location, paid $600 and change for a double queen with an attached room with very comfortable leather and wood sofa and two chairs. Great views, not ocean view, but a good view of the blvd and you are easy driving or walking distance to the pier. Paid extra for valet parking which was totally worth it. Made getting in and out a breeze. An older, but still very upscale and comfortable hotel in a fantastic location if youre staying for beach/pier activities. More...
