Posizione TOP!
Pros:

La posizione praticamente perfetta per raggiungere il pier e la spiaggia. L' hotel ha messo a disposizione gli asciugamani gratuitamente per la spiaggia, l'ho trovato molto comodo.

Cons:

Il prezzo leggermente alto. Ma parliamo di un hotel nel cuore di Santa Monica e forse è nella media .

Agréable
Pros:

La proximité de l'océan et des transports publiques. Il fait plus frais à Santa Monica qu'à l'intérieur des terres grâce au vent constant, ce qui est particulièrement agréable.

Cons:

L'année dernière alors que je n'avais pas utilisé le service de nettoyage tous les jours, l'hôtel m'avait remboursé plusieurs dizaines de dollars, en fonction du nombre de jours sans service. Cette année, pas de remboursement. Je pouvais dépenser la somme en achetant des médicaments ou de la nourriture à la réception. J'ai appris cela en partant, et malheureusement, je n'ai pas pu dépenser tout mon avoir qui est définitivement perdu.

Great stay at the Ocean View Hotel
Pros:

An overall great experience at the Ocean View Hotel. Stayed for two nights and check in by a friendly Theresa was a breeze after a long flight from London. It’s well located across the road from the Santa Monica pier and 3rd street promenade and lots of other restaurants. Theresa was helpful and friendly with advice on the area. The room was clean and well purposed for our family. Nice balcony to watch the sunset (albeit with a busy road in between) It’s not a huge hotel and didn’t have an onsite gym but was told I could use one near by. We didn’t use the hotel parking and used the parking garage (structure 6) as we didn’t need to use the car for a couple of days but we were told it wasn’t an issue to pull up and load our luggage in their car park which was appreciated. Would stay here again for sure a very good choice for a Santa Monica Stay.
