Wonderful experience at check in. Great service throughout. Property is in need of a little bit of a refresh in some ways as things look a tiny bit dinged up or fatigued. But overall a lovely stay.

Lots of reviews for other properties in the Santa Monica area mentioned un housed people being an issue so I was nervous, but that wasn’t an issue at all. The property was super quiet and peaceful. It’s right across the street from an amazing bakery too. I really enjoyed my stay here.
