Our first trip to Santa Monica and it was fun and very delightful. The weather was great!
Pros:

It was walking distance from the beach, pier and Restraunt’s..There was a mini fridge, and window cooler. My son had his own sleeping quarters. There was staff available in the office 24/7 if you needed anything.

Cons:

The parking was limited..it was first come first serve even for those staying there…the building is a little older with limited outlets..

Cons:

The hotel leaves a lot to be desired. From very early in the morning there is a lot of noise, as you can clearly hear all the staff conversations, making it impossible to rest. The beds are very uncomfortable, and the extra bed they provide is practically unusable: it’s made of exposed springs and is no more than 5 cm thick.

In addition, the bathroom fixtures are very old and in poor condition. The room also did not have air conditioning, which is quite uncomfortable, especially on hot days. To make matters worse, light comes in from everywhere, making it impossible to sleep properly.

The Wi-Fi signal also didn’t reach the room properly and barely worked.

Overall, a very uncomfortable stay. I would not recommend it.

Great little seaside hotel as long as you don’t need parking.
Pros:

Location, cute historical Route 66 beach hotel

Cons:

Parking is extra (which I’m fine with) but told parking was sold out as they have more rooms than parking. Was never given a chance to buy parking even though I booked nearly 6 months in advanced

Schrecklich und teuer für nichts!
Pros:

Es war nah am Strand

Cons:

Es ist kein Hotel, es ist ein Motel!! Zimmer sind dreckig und alt. Badezimmer sind heruntergekommen. Es gab nur einen Ventilator, keine richtige Klimaanlage. Man hat sich nicht sicher gefühlt im Zimmer. Wände waren wie aus Papier, man hat jedes Wort gehört. Zimmer hat extrem nach Chlor, Bleichmittel gerochen. Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis auf keinen Fall gerechtfertigt. Kommentare und Rezensionen auf Booking können nicht echt sein. Wir sind keine Nacht geblieben und nach ein paar Stunden gefahren.

Since every accommodation is quite expensive in that area it was decent.
Pros:

I loved the location, so close to beach and Santa Monica pier. Hotel was decent but expensive for what it was.

Cons:

It was quite noisy as walls were paper thin.

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
