Lindo, cómodo y excelente ubicación
Pros:

No hay mejor ubicación en todo Santa Monica.
El hotel es lindo. Tiene bonitos detalles que te hacen sentir en el caribe. Todo te queda a unos pasos. Buenos restaurantes alrededor, la playa y la mejor zona turística.
Sin duda su relación de valor-costo es sensacional

Wouldn’t stay again
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

Check in at 4pm is a crime, staff not friendly, room dirty, shower gross, people screaming all night and a lot of homeless because it’s near the playground set on the beach. I didn’t feel that safe in what is a motel, not a hotel.

Horrible!
Pros:

The smallest bathroom and shower ever, there was no chair to sit on anywhere. Just nothing positive to say at all. Also the parking is an absolute joke, $29 a day and you can’t get out in the morning due to being blocked in by cars! Horrible experience!!!

Cons:

Stated above.
