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.
