Excellent location, postcard view of Santa Monica Pier. Walkable to restaurants & 3rd St Promenade.
Pros:

Excellent location. Michael at the front desk acknowledged our length of stay and arranged a superior room in the category we had reserved. Rain shower water pressure was the best of any hotel we’ve stayed.

Cons:

The ocean view that I paid for was not an ocean view, more of a pool view. My shower drain did not work so it flooded. The compensation I was offered was a measly dessert but only if I bought an entree AND a drink first. Disappointing

Rico hotel pero creo que el mal rato del primer día no nos permitió disfrutarlo como quizás merecía.
Pros:

La ubicación muy buena. El restaurant extraordinario de muy buena , pocos platos pero muy bien preparados .

Cons:

Nuestro primer día, estuvimos en tour y al llegar en la noche , la pieza no había sido realizado el aseo. Camas deshechas , basura en los tachos , etc. Ante el reclamo , ofrecieron ir a dejar toallas y sacar la basura. Llegaron la toallas , pero no se llevaron las sucias ni la basura. Al conversar con recepción , y entendiendo que un hotel que cobra más de 500 dólares por noche no puede suceder algo así. , argumentan que estaban muy sobrepasados y me ofrecen 15 dólares para consumo en el bar. Mal y casi ofensivo. Me dio la sensación que les importó poco.

Buon soggiorno
Pros:

La posizione è ottima e l’hotel è carino e pulito.

Cons:

Ci sono molte spese accessorie, tra cui il parcheggio che costa 22 dollari a notte più 30 euro al giorno se esci con la macchina e poi la riconsegni. Anche il caffè in camera con le cialde è a pagamento.

Nice place for shore ;^)
Pros:

Great staff and location.

Cons:

Pricey. But not more than other hotels in the area. Parking policy is confusing. Turns out you will be charged $50/day instead of $20 if you use your car during stay. The $20/day is essentially car storage.
