All fart no poo
Pros:

Location is excellent for Santa Monica, just opposite the pier

Cons:

Overpriced, beds very uncomfortable, bedding and pillows tired. 3 nights and only got room service once, offered a bar tab to have no room service, screams issues straight away.
Bar service awful, lacked basic drinks, a lot of the cocktail menu out of stock. Could not have a coffee two of the mornings as they had run out of coffee beans! There’s a target two blocks down!!!!
Budget hotel with an average pool and bar. Not worth the money. Would avoid!!
