It’s a nice hotel in a great location
Pros:

The location accross from beach in Santa Monica was ideal. Lots of restaurants nearby

Cons:

The room faced the back into other rooms
Not the front
The pipes creaked in the bathroom super loudly. Sounded like a 100 year old house
The coffee machine on the commode didn’t say that I would be charlen for the pods used , I thought it was complementary. They charged me

A lot a bit of sunshine
Pros:

This is a beautiful hotel with fantastic people who are willing to help at the drop of a dime. I loved the location and how easy it was to get to everything without feeling like I was constantly traveling.

What really made this stay special, though, was the staff. Heidi and Ashley helped make my daughter’s 16th birthday something she’ll never forget. On very short notice, they somehow pulled together flowers, a birthday balloon, and a collection of sweet treats waiting for her. The look on my daughter’s face was priceless it nearly brought my 16-year-old to tears, which isn’t easy to do.

In a world where good service can sometimes feel transactional, the people here went above and beyond simply doing their jobs. They genuinely cared. Their kindness, thoughtfulness, and willingness to make a special moment even more special meant a lot to me as a dad.

The hotel itself is beautiful, but it’s the people who make it exceptional. Thank you, Heidi, Ashley, and the entire team for helping create a memory my daughter and I will carry with us for a very long time. We are deeply grateful.
