Our room, the AC was leaking water. Our bed was completely wet instead of upgrading us. They downgraded us and did not give us a discount.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Man, I did not think I would enjoy myself as much as I did. - So many random pop-up events. - Tons of friendly travelers. - Everything is walkable, bikeable, or scooterable. - There is a Parking Garage RIGHT across the street with security - The front staff is full of joy and extremely accommodating. - Two Cons - First, it can get quite warm at times, but that's typical of the humid Santa Monica climate. I honestly got used to it after 2 days. Second, the $5 is pretty barebones. Yes, it's only $5, but I would rather pay $10 for a waffle maker and premade batter like you'd see at a low-end Hotel. I will be booking again, had so much fun! I'm 6'5, Heavy weight, and was able to sleep comfortably on the beds, so don't worry about low-quality furniture.
