A Classic, with Pros and Cons
This hotel is located in the heart of downtown Santa Monica, so you can easily walk to the most popular places in Santa Monica. That's great, since driving and finding parking in downtown Santa Monica is sometimes not fun. The hotel is in an older building, but it has been well updated, and the accommodations are great, especially the comfortable beds. The staff is extremely friendly and proactive. In exchange for the great location, you have a few trade-offs. There's no free breakfast, though a couple of very good places right nearby will give a 15% discount on breakfast if you show your room card. Also, as the hotel is right downtown, you may be able to hear buses as they start running early in the morning and the occasional rabble rouser making some noise late at night. Personally, I'd stay here again. They really go out of their way to take care of their guests, and you can't beat the location.

Perfect location, exceptional staff
Super friendly, super helpful staff. Checked in easily and quickly after being delayed by half a day. Used the valet parking, that was a breeze too. Our room (200) was much bigger than expected, like a small apartment and had everything we need. They location is second to none and made exploring Santa Monica easy! Thanks again to all the staff there.

Highly recommend
The building was historic and beautiful. The staff was very polite, friendly, and receptive to anything we needed. Having 24hr valet service was convenient however we didn't use our car much since we were a block from the beach, 2 blocks from the santa monica pier, across the street from the mall, and righ next to the shopping district we had everything we needed for the weekend. We truly enjoyed our stay and i look forward to staying again.

Haunted for Sure!
Saw Cirque DU Soliel which was great but got back to the room at 11pm and the guest upstairs decided to start walking. Loudly. Until 8am the following morning! Crazy. Tried to call to let them know there's an insomniac trying to get their steps but the phone didn't work. TV didn't work either. And the beds--bad, bad, bad! We came home and selt for two days to make up for this terrible $300/night room.

Charming Carmel
I usually stay here. It is an older property but very well maintained and always clean. It is quiet and I sleep well. They are renovating room by room. No refrigerator, no microwave. Close to Ocean Ave, the pier, 3rd street promenade. TV reception was intermittent this go round but that is not that important to me. More economical than the higher end places and comfortable. Secure parking.

Concert in L.A.
The description says it has 2 bars, it does not. There was no fridge in the room, which is a bummer. The staff was excellent and beyond. The location is superb.

Meh
Stayed before was great. This time the room was above a literal night club so the bass was going strong into the weee hours not ideal if trying to sleep. Bed sounded and felt like it was going to fall apart.

The room was smaller than expected but it's good enough since we were only there to sleep. Great location, house keeping was great and fast everyday. Front desk personal was amazing as well. Very helpful with any questions or holding our luggage. I am very pleased with my stay.

The location is perfect. It's an older style building, which suits me. It was clean, convenient, had large closets, and was reasonably priced for the location.
