De passage à Santa Monica
Pros:

Localisation et bel hôtel avec une jolie décoration.
Placé juste en face du Pier et accès facile.

Cons:

Attention à ne pas vous faire avoir avec le Valet parking à 68$. Propose en force !
Parking public juste en face à 15-20$ et 1 min à pied de l’hôtel.

Disappointing
Pros:

I liked the location, next to the pier. And having a valet. That’s all :)

Cons:

The room wasn’t properly cleaned. Worn out and shredded bed sheets. Pieces of hair at bathroom door hinges. It was already 4pm and our room wasn’t cleaned and we were gone the whole day. For the price you pay you would expect at least the basics. I will not return here :)
