We had originally booked a two bedroom suite, however we received a phone call two months before we were due to travel to advise that they would be renovating these rooms in April. So we were offered a one bedroom suite, with a connecting studio through the closet. We were disappointed, however the two rooms worked well. This hotel has... More

My daughter and I had 2 nights here - we arrived at 11am from a 14 hour flight from Australia and were able to check right in and had been upgraded to a delux suite. The room had just been redecorated and was very clean and spacious. Location was fantastic with only 2 blocks to the beach or Third St... More

Not your average hotel but a great place to stay in Santa Monica, the position is excellent, on Third Street and just a few minutes walk from the main area and 15 minute walk to the pier. The hotel itself is 'quirky' nice size rooms, very clean and if you are staying for a few days has an excellent kitchen... More

My daughter (14) and I stayed at this classic hotel for 10 days until March 28, 2013. A unique little oasis of charm - inside and out - and only $165/night! Unfortunately, "renovations" are already underway, and judging by the paint color swatches on the magnificent lobby wall, it's not going to be a pretty sight. Obviously, it will be... More

Recently stayed a second time at this lovely, Spanish-style hotel just a couple blocks from the Pacific Ocean. We had a nice studio of maybe 500 square feet. Great mattress, nice bedding, attractive drapes, new appliances in the well-equipped kitchen, and fashionable wall coverings. As a well-built old building, internal noises were almost non-existent, and street noise was not objectionable.... More

This hotel is different in that you feel as if you're a guest in a well-maintained home. It has an old elegant look about it i.e. not modern by any means. However the apartments are not typical holiday apartments as the rooms are the size of permanent accommodation with a separate kitchen, and tons of cupboard space all over the... More

We stayed at these wonderful apartments in January. The apartment was spacious and we were delighted to discover that we had daily maid service. The building is stunning and much has already been said about the lobby and beautiful courtyard. New owners have taken over and are in the process of refurbishment. Hopefully they have taken note of the valid... More
