Je ne recommande absolument pas cet hôtel
Pros:

Sans aucun doute l’emplacement idéal à Los Angeles à deux pas de la fête foraine Santa Monica

Cons:

La chambre trop petite pas de petite table ni de chaise salle de bain hyper petite pas de rangement pas de micro onde le personnel pas accueillant du tout et pour finir hôtel très mal insonorisé et extrêmement bruyant. C’est une honte pour le prix de la nuit

1/10 – Completely unacceptable experience
Pros:

Nada

Cons:

Everything, this was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences we have had.

Very early in the morning, we were woken up by extremely loud construction work taking place just a few meters from our room. The noise made it impossible to continue sleeping, and we had never been informed that these works would be taking place.

Later that day, we discovered that our room had not been cleaned. When we spoke to the front desk, we were simply told that housekeeping had already left for the day and that our room would not be serviced.

The room also had several maintenance problems. Multiple electrical outlets did not work properly, and the shower was faulty, showing a clear lack of maintenance and attention to detail.

Overall, the hotel showed a complete lack of concern for guest comfort. Being woken up by construction, not having the room cleaned, and finding basic facilities in poor condition are issues that should never happen in the same stay.

I cannot recommend this hotel and would strongly advise future guests to consider other options.

Un super séjour à proximité de la plage !
Pros:

La proximité avec la plage est incroyable, on a adoré nos moment passés dans cette hôtel. Le parking est petit et nous a coûté 33$ par nuit. Sinon l’intérieur de la chambre n’est pas extraordinaire mais l’extérieur lui si ! Café/thé en libre service.

Cons:

Le coût du parking, le côté vieillot de la salle de bain.

It was not worth the money we paid.
Pros:

The photos on the website are misleading—they make it look like a large resort complex with direct private beach access, but it’s actually just one building with small hotel rooms and not the huge property that’s advertised.

Cons:

Inside the room, we found cockroaches twice, which made our stay extremely uncomfortable. Basic amenities like a microwave and a kettle were also missing, so we had to go to the reception every time we needed hot water. This was very inconvenient and significantly affected our overall experience.

Přímo u pláže v Santa Monice
Pros:

Přímo u pláže, blízko mola v Santa Monice, spoustu nákupních možností, parkování u hotelu, ochotný personál, káva a čaj celý den k dispozici na recepci, stylová výzdoba pokoje…

Cons:

Malý pokoj, málo úložného prostoru, ale vzhledem k tomu, že jsme se tam chodili jen vyspat, tak to tolik nevadilo…

Pros:

The location was perfect!Hop skip and a jump from the pier.The hotel itself was a old school vibe.pretty good sized room as well.The view was beautiful and great for visiting the pier.

Cons:

The parking was the only dislike,you literally have to park your car like 4 blocks away in a parking garage!! And I wish the front desk would of explained to me i needed to unload everything I needed out of my car,because once you park it.You can not just run back to your car if you need something.you literally have to walk like 4 city blocks

Overall a great stay, comfortable beds and location amazing. Just be aware no A/C or heaters in room
Pros:

The beds were incredibly comfortable, location was amazing, and room size for a family was spot on!

Cons:

A/C and better parking. Being so close to the beach, there was a nice breeze with the windows open and fan on but being so close to the pier and beach there was a lot of noise from outside we heard throughout the night because of the windows being open. Shutting the windows really isn’t an option as the room gets pretty muggy quickly. We traveled in July.

Was oké maar zou het voor dit geld nooit weer boeken.
Pros:

Super locatie direct naast de pier en aan het strand.

Cons:

Hele kleine badkamer, nergens plek voor, alles was oud en enorm aan vervanging toe.
Naast badkamer zat soort tussenruimte voor wat kleding etc, eerste avond kroop daar een enorme kakkerlak welke wegschoot onder de plint.
