It was a decent stay however I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone and would not stay again.
Pros:

I liked how it was not far too far from universal studios and Beverly Hills and also the late check in.

Cons:

I disliked how there is only limited parking for guests. I had to move my car out of the garage because it was “sold out” and had to park in front of the hotel but also wake up early at 8 am to move the car again because of construction. After coming from a long night out that’s the least thing I wanted to worry about. The sinks were also terribly small. Washing my hands alone got water all over the floor.

Pros:

Ottima posizione, buon rapporto qualità prezzo. Il parcheggio interno si paga, per quello esterno attenzione alle multe, che a Los Angeles arrivano alla velocità della luce. Non si parcheggia, ad esempio, nelle vicinanze di un idrante. Verificate le varie eccezioni, che sono diverse dall'Italia!

Comodo y accesible para un fin de semana
Pros:

La ubicación, precio, y la habitación fueron excelentes para mi estancia. Todo quedaba cerca al hotel. Y al lado del Lobby hay restaurant y un bar muy comodos, muy bien.

Cons:

El único punto que quisiera que se mejorara fuera tener realmente un estacionamiento propio, ya que no siempre se cuenta con espacio disponible para estacionar

Spotless comfort, stellar staff, great coffee, & an unbeatable location-couldn’t have asked for more
Pros:

Absolutely loved my stay at FOUND Hotel Santa Monica! The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful from check-in to check-out. My room was spotless, spacious, and super-comfortable - perfect after long days exploring the city. The shared kitchen (with a fantastic coffee machine!) was a real bonus. Location-wise, it’s close to everything yet feels quiet, and I always found safe street parking. I’d happily stay again and recommend it to anyone visiting Santa Monica.

Cons:

Everything was perfect!

Cons:

Had a toilet with broken handle when we checked in. After we asked them to fix it, the toilet doesn’t flush at all so they relocated us to another room. The facilities are mediocre and the hotel isn’t as good as it appears to be.
