Très bon emplacement mais...
Pros:

Très bon emplacement, à quelques pas du Pier de Santa Monica. Il y a une piscine mais nous n'avons pas eu le temps d'en profiter

Cons:

Salle de bains très petite pour une chambre pour 4 personnes
Seulement 3 serviettes de bain pour 4...
Nous avons eu la visite d'un cafard dans la nuit... que nous avons réussi à coincer sous un verre :(
Nous ne l'avons pas signalé à la réception, mais le personnel de chambre l'a trouvé car il n'était plus là après leur passage le lendemain
