The hotel is conveniently located near Santa Monica pier and offers easy access to the beach, shops, and entertainment spots. The rooms are basic without a kettle or coffee machine, but the proximity to attractions makes up for it. The hotel lacks some amenities like in-room coffee facilities and early bag service, but the location is ideal for exploring Santa Monica.

The hotel's location is superb, right across the road from the beach and close to Santa Monica Pier. The rooms were cozy and free of any smoking smell, although a bit small. The service was excellent with convenient car hire available. While the Mexican restaurant nearby was a hit, the dining options at the hotel were basic. Overall, a decent stay with good value for money.

I found the hotel to be a great value for its excellent location near the beach and convenient to various attractions. While the room was a bit small for a group of five, we appreciated the proximity to the beach given the affordable rate. However, the room was in need of renovation and lacked an A/C unit, which made the stay somewhat uncomfortable.
