Comodo per girare Santa Monica
Pros:

Posizione perfetta!
Nel centro di Santa Monica, vicinissimo al famoso porto.

Cons:

Struttura e Camera da rinnovare.
Letti scomodi
Bagno piccolo e vecchio
Ci aspettavamo una struttura molto più nuova dato il prezzo e le foto.
Parcheggio caro ma c’è quello pubblico accanto più economico.

Soggiorno eccellente! La posizione è perfetta per visitare la città.
Pros:

L'hotel vanta una posizione davvero strategica, situato a pochissimi passi dal celebre molo di Santa Monica — la principale attrazione della città — e a brevissima distanza dalle vie dello shopping più famose.

Pur non offrendo un servizio di colazione interno, la struttura è circondata da un'ampia scelta di bar, cafè e ottimi ristoranti situati nelle immediate vicinanze, ideali per iniziare la giornata con la massima flessibilità. La vicinanza alla spiaggia permette di godersi il mare e i tramonti californiani in totale comodità, rendendolo la base perfetta per esplorare la zona a piedi.

Pros:

Although the hotel is older, the room was really nice and clean. We had a large room with a comfortable living area, which made our stay very enjoyable. The hotel is also in a great location near the pier, which was very convenient. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.

Pros:

The hotel is at a great location, close to the beach and restaurants. Shout out to the front desk, staff, cleaners (especially a gentleman, cleaning the elevators and the maids) - they were incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Great hotel and great location
Pros:

Great location, very close to the beach and pier. Lots of shops near by. Very friendly staff. Hotel has had a huge refresh since i last stayed 10 years ago. Very clean and bright

Cons:

The hotel used to offer coffee and pastrys in the morning but sadly they no longer offer this, despite the price increase. But there is a lovely coffee shop to the right of the entrance, a bit pricey but very nice coffee.
