Pros:

Pas grand chose

Cons:

Parking annoncé mais complet à notre arrivée... On a du tourner 15min pour trouver une place. Les places devant l'hôtel doivent être libéré avant 9h et pas plus de 5h de suite... prix très élevé pour une chambre miteuse dans un hôtel vraiment pas top.
Ps: même pas de balaie pour le WC...

Pros:

Lokacija

Cons:

1. Za ovu cijenu od skoro 400$ po nocenju ocekivali smo puno vise, a nemate nista osim sobe i kreveta
2. Klima je uzasno bucna, ne hladi kako treba
3. Zavjese ne mozete potpuno zatvoriti i pre kratke su i zbog toga vam ujutro prolazi svjetlost kroz njih i nije potpuni mrak
4. Kreveti su dosta mali
5. Ne izgleda kao na slikala, puno je vise staromodno

Iskreno, vrijednost cijene i kvalitete je jako loša. Preskupo, a nemate nikakvih sadržaja niti su sobe kvalitetno opremljene.

Pros:

Emplacement super. Près de la plage, des cafés et santa monica pier. Chambre bien équipée (capsules de café renouvelé tous les jours, micro-onde, frigo, sèche cheveux, ..)
Serviettes de plage dans la chambre. Possibilité de louer des vélos de qualité au bon prix.
Chambre propre dans l'ensemble.

Cons:

Hôtel un peu vétuste. Présence d'un gros cafard dans la chambre un soir.

Ok ma prezzo troppo alto
Pros:

La posizione è ottima e anche la pulizia della stanza

Cons:

La struttura è molto vecchia, non è per nulla insonorizzata e abbiamo fatto davvero fatica a dormire in quanto si sente anche un leggero passo dai piani di sopra. Assicuratevi di chiedere una stanza al piano di sopra e possibilmente vista giardino visto che la strada lì non è il massimo la sera.
Un altro piccolo appunto: materasso a molle abbastanza antiquato e duro, suggerisco di inserire dei topper per maggior comodità e magari due bottiglie d’acqua di cortesia per ogni stanza.

Sarebbe stato un voto più alto ma visto il prezzo credo ci sia da migliorare

Thoroughly enjoyed our time here!
Pros:

Location location location!! Literally right across from Santa Monica beach. Staff very accommodating and helpful. Bikes onsite to rent for a minimal fee in which we took advantage of, so fun!! Room was nice and clean had everything we needed.

Cons:

The stairs and having to lug our luggage up and down. An elevator would have been a bonus. You do have to pay an additional 30 some dollars a day for parking onsite as well which can be tight.
