Perfect location for a 2 night visit to Santa Monica. Good value.
Pros:

The location is perfect. Right by the beach and pier. Perfect for our 2 night stay in the middle of our road trip. We parked in a multistorey just a short walk away as there is limited parking on site, I should have booked a parking space with the hotel, but it was not a big problem.

Cons:

Some work was being done and the construction team started early. But I guess this will be over very soon, so not a problem for the future.

Santa Monica da kalınacak otel
Pros:

Konumu ve çalışanları çok iyiydi.

Cons:

Caddeye bakan odalarda gürültü çok fazlaydı. Bir de aracınız varsa mutlaka önceden rezv yapın. Gerçi biraz ilerideki “public parking” çok daha uygundur

Great Location!
Pros:

Fabulous location - handy to the beach and Santa Monica Pier - handy to restaurants.
Staff where great - very helpful and accommodating.

Cons:

Unfortunately the photos made the hotel look a lot better than it was. Totally appreciate that this is an older, historic building.
Although clean the room itself was a little run down. There were five of us and one bathroom which we knew when we booked it, however the sink was stand alone and didn't have a vanity attached to it, so nowhere to put our toilet bags. The toilet was also in the bathroom, making this very small area impossible to use efficiently. The shower water was only luke warm.
There were two double beds - one behind a curtain in the living area. The second bedroom - the curtains were in poor condition and we couldn't open the curtains because there was a construction site looking straight in the window. The 5th bed was in the lounge and there wasn't any comfortable seating or a couch that we could sit on if we wanted to watch the TV.
