Wonderful girls beach trip for me and my baby
Pros:

Incredible service. I was traveling with my baby and they gave me an early check in. We’re so accommodating to us gave us a crib, bath supplies, a cute ducky and even clipped the curtain shut to help make it darker. Loved the drink included with resort charge and live music in lobby. This is my new go to hotel in LA area.

Lovely old hotel in a great location
Pros:

Beautiful hotel right on the beach, very grand lounge area with pianist and very nice bar. Rooms are traditional and very nicely appointed, we appreciated the room upgrade and prosecco for our anniversary. Great toiletries and towels in bathroom. The door staff are fantastic and the house car is a nice touch.

Cons:

The breakfast isn’t entirely free you get 40 dollars each which should be ample but actually isn’t if you have coffee and smoothies which are really pricey !

Top quality hotel that is not uncomfortable in any way

The hotel is absolutely exquisite. Our room was beautifully designed and we had the benefit of an outside terrace. It is in an amazing location by Santa Monica beach and all the staff were wonderful. It was one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had!

Cons:

Nothing!

Top Lage, aber nicht sehr schön
Pros:

Hervorragende Lage direkt am Strand und am Walk Richtung Santa Monica Pier. Das Hotel besticht ganz klar durch seine Lage.

Cons:

Sehr kleiner Pool für ein großes Hotel, eher unpersönliche Atmosphäre und teilweise in die Jahre gekommen. Das gebuchte Zimmer mit Meerblick bot nur seitlichen Meerblick durch ein nicht zu öffnendes Fenster, das Badezimmer war veraltet. Valet Parking mit rund 90 Dollar pro Nacht sehr teuer. Frühstück haben wir nicht genutzt.
