The concierge and front desk were a formidable team who made us feel welcome, and they provided several recommendations for dining and other services that were spot on.
The staff was so welcoming, friendly and accommodating! The rooms were incredibly spacious, and clean. And the location is right across the street from beach access. Next time we plan a trip to Santa Monica-we will definitely be staying here again!
Enjoyed our clean room with Ocean view. Staff are all friendly and helpful. A nice rooftop bar serves very good well-balanced cocktails. The best part was the large courtyard with a pool and a hot tub. a few mins walk to nice restaurants and shopping. Couldn't be better!
