This is a nice boutique hotel close to the beach. The room was clean. However the bedroom was isolated from the air conditioning and got hot. You can hear traffic from the nearby street very clearly in the room.

This hotel was amazing! I stayed here as part of a solo trip I was on, so staying safe was a big concern of mine and this hotel had me feeling very secure while on my own! The staff was also amazing and was super helpful whenever I needed assistance with something! If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely be staying here again!

The hotel is in a good location, walking distance to beach, food and shopping. It is a bit pricy for the property condition though. Also, parking is hard.

Location was great! It’s really close to the beach & walkable to restaurants, shopping, & the pier. It is hard to park there, & expensive to park there. It’s also quite noisy due to traffic on the road, but it was clean & perfect for our needs.

Close proximity to beach and pier with many places to eat and shop within walking distance. Hotel staff were all very helpful and friendly during our stay. There is parking on site but if you have a full size SUV or truck please be aware that parking spaces are small with not a lot of space to maneuver. We will stay again in the future. Thank you!

Great location a couple blocks from the Santa Monica pier, downtown Santa Monica and walkable to Venice Beach. Cute “old school” motel experience, with clean and updated room. Two women traveling and felt safe although you are in a busy tourist area so always be aware of you surroundings. Definitely would stay again.
