Harvard & Stone

The Santa Monica Proper has a really cool vibe and beautiful design, but it could definitely use a little more attention when it comes to cleanliness and maintenance. Some areas and small details feel a bit neglected, although the gym was noticeably cleaner. The rooms are really cute and the beds are comfortable, but I wasn’t completely impressed with the cleanliness. What really makes this place special is the staff! Most of the team is absolutely wonderful, especially the bellmen , who were super friendly and made the experience so much better. The gentleman who checked us in late at night wasn’t particularly welcoming, but everyone else was amazing. Overall, it’s a super cool hotel with great energy and lovely people. With a little more attention to cleaning and the small details, it could be so much better!
