Excellent location near Santa Monica Pier. Room was great with exception of shower. Very large tub with low water pressure. Had to stand completely under shower head (against the side of the tub) to rinse.

We enjoyed our first time here but, they need to install some hooks in the bathroom so 2 people can hang their overnight bags. The worst part is there is NO COUNTER SPACE TO PUT ANYTHING.

Location is excellent to Ocean view and walkable to all the key sights in Santa Monica. The room is basic and reasonable, though we found the bathroom. bit weak with water pressure and we had to run the fan for prolonged periods. Great views of Santa Monica beach, no real affordable overnight parking in the area.

The concept of replacing staff with an app is definitely a 2 star approach. We had no hot water on the last morning. Cool showers were not fun. The entire bathroom design was substandard. The shower head was not moveable and the stream of water only went about 18 inches out. The only places to sit were on one small desk chair and the bed. No phone to call the front desk….. It was like a striped down motel 8.

Disliked: Amenities
I had a decent suite. I did find a bunch of dirty towels behind the bedroom table. There was men’s hair in the bedsheets. The suite rooms were very sparse in furnishings. The tub had zero temperature control. It was boiling hot. The toilet paper was like sandpaper. The pool was full of dead bugs. The view was great. However, I didn’t realize that the balcony was shared with everyone. Random guests would walk right up to my bedroom window and stare at me and my daughter first thing in the morning. Imagine being awaken to having a strange man standing in front of your window. They also did that in the sofa room. There was zero privacy. Great access to shopping and great restaurants. The staff couldn’t really give a rat’s behind about your stay.

Good value property. Not too expensive compared to similar properties in the neighborhood. Low maintenance building with easy access to the surrounding attractions.
