Really nice place, but nothing that you can’t find for a better price. So in my opinion, it’s a little bit too expensive for what they offer

The queen size mattress in my room was firm and comfortable but the pillows were too high and firm. There are 4 pillows for every bed all of the same type and firmness! Parking was for a fee but convenient. The gym was too small with no ventilation and you need to get a separate key to get in. Breakfast was minimal but coffee tasted better than average.

Touristes Canadiens

l'hôtel est très bien situé, pas loin de Santa Monica, et Venice Beach, il est propre, le personnel est gentil, le parking au sous sol a 17$ la journée, acceptable comparant a d'autre hôtels. Ce que je n'ai pas aimé, le petit déjeuner est très basique... une seule table a coté du café, il faut sortir un peu de l'hôtel pour avoir une table, le bruit de la clim est insupportable !!! donc soit vous supportez la chaleur soit le bruit , les deux vous empêchent de dormir

The food options (advertised as continental breakfast) were minimal. If you're looking for a firm mattress, do not stay here. Maybe managed 4 hours sleep on the too soft mattress. Then the right wing TV in the lobby. Not what I wanted greeting me after a rough sleep. Please be more considerate to all your guests in that way.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very friendly and helpful staff at check in/out. I appreciated the non skid mat in the shower, the toiletries, and a well lit mirror over the sink. I ate at Socalo next door and it was amazing - highly recommend. The parking fee was very reasonable for the area. I highly recommend staying her and will return if in the area again.

A very clean & friendly place to stay that’s a short distance from the beach. Parking on site & a fantastic place to have dinner downstairs (SOCALO). Room was comfortable with a great view of some towering palm trees.
