サンタモニカを満喫出来たホテルでした！
Pros:

ロケーションは最高、館内の雰囲気も明るくお洒落です。お部屋はそれ程広くはないですが、我が家でくつろいでいるような居心地の良さでした。ビーチヨガに参加してドリンクのチケットをもらったり、電動自転車を借りてサイクリングもしました。どちらも無料です。
メトロの駅がすぐで、市中まで出かけることも出来ます。バスはハードルが高いですがメトロなら大丈夫。人混みと暑さに疲れてホテルに帰ってくるとホッとしました。1階のカフェレストランもそれ程高くなく、美味しいビールで食事が出来ます。
個人的に好みがバッチリ👌素敵な宿でした。

Cons:

唯一もし可能なら可動式のシャワーを取り入れて欲しいです。
日本の入浴習慣からすると固定式のシャワーは非常に使いづらい。

chouette hotel mais rapport qualité prix pas justifié
Pros:

L'emplacement est super bien situé près du Pier. La déco du lobby est sympa et la chambre est bien avec une belle salle de bain mais petite.

Cons:

Nous avions une chambre avec un canapé lit pour nos enfants. Quand nous sommes arrivés il n'y avait pas de draps ni couvertures pour faire le lit. Malgré 3 appels à la réception durant lesquels la reception nous assurait très gentillement que la femme de ménage allait venir faire le lit ( ou au moins apporter les draps et couverture) personne n'est jamais venu. Notre fils de 11 ans a donc dormi avec nous. Lorsque j'ai fait remarqué cela le lendemain à la réception, aucune excuse de leur part, ils ont juste dit qu'ils enverraient (encore) qqn. Je trouve ça en dessous des services d'un hotel 4 étoiles et de ce prix.

Great location, nice hotel.
Pros:

Restaurant was convenient and quite good. Although overnight parking was expensive, there was a street closure due to a city festival so we had to move our car, and the hotel did not charge us for the second night. Very good customer service and much appreciated for the minor inconvenience.

Cons:

Overnight parking was a little expensive.
