Přímo u pláže v Santa Monice
Pros:

Přímo u pláže, blízko mola v Santa Monice, spoustu nákupních možností, parkování u hotelu, ochotný personál, káva a čaj celý den k dispozici na recepci, stylová výzdoba pokoje…

Cons:

Malý pokoj, málo úložného prostoru, ale vzhledem k tomu, že jsme se tam chodili jen vyspat, tak to tolik nevadilo…

Pros:

The location was perfect!Hop skip and a jump from the pier.The hotel itself was a old school vibe.pretty good sized room as well.The view was beautiful and great for visiting the pier.

Cons:

The parking was the only dislike,you literally have to park your car like 4 blocks away in a parking garage!! And I wish the front desk would of explained to me i needed to unload everything I needed out of my car,because once you park it.You can not just run back to your car if you need something.you literally have to walk like 4 city blocks

Overall a great stay, comfortable beds and location amazing. Just be aware no A/C or heaters in room
Pros:

The beds were incredibly comfortable, location was amazing, and room size for a family was spot on!

Cons:

A/C and better parking. Being so close to the beach, there was a nice breeze with the windows open and fan on but being so close to the pier and beach there was a lot of noise from outside we heard throughout the night because of the windows being open. Shutting the windows really isn’t an option as the room gets pretty muggy quickly. We traveled in July.

Was oké maar zou het voor dit geld nooit weer boeken.
Pros:

Super locatie direct naast de pier en aan het strand.

Cons:

Hele kleine badkamer, nergens plek voor, alles was oud en enorm aan vervanging toe.
Naast badkamer zat soort tussenruimte voor wat kleding etc, eerste avond kroop daar een enorme kakkerlak welke wegschoot onder de plint.

Short walk to beach. Make sure your room has been cleaned right
Pros:

I liked how close it was to the beach and everything there. What I didn’t like about our stay is that there was an open used bar soap in our bathroom. Didn’t find out about till after my son took his shower. Once we got settled in when we were getting in bed found multiple hairs in our bed. The next day we found left over food by the window seal. Also our smoke alarm would randomly go off at night.

Pros:

Fantastic As Always. We make this family fun trip from Vegas for my Wife's Birthday, 3 years in a row now.
We will be booking next year's trip soon as the 2 bedroom becomes available to book. Great location close to everything.

Cons:

Cost of parking on the property. But convenience is never cheap. No microwave in room, no bathroom fan but not really a big deal.
