Nice and convenient
Modern, spacious room with a decent shower and comfortable beds. I appreciated that the rooms had hard flooring instead of carpet. Valet parking sounds expensive at $55 a night but city parking was $40 and nearly two blocks away, so it might be worth the convenience to you. Close to the Pier and mall as well as a Trader Joe’s just across the street. My only gripe was the price.

Great stay
My family and I had a really nice stay at this establishment. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub on the second floor, and the clean and friendly lobby. It was very nice being able to text the valet to get out car ready for us before we were downstairs. I’ll definitely be back for Santa Monica trips.

Unfortunately I didn’t have a great experience. I had a double queen room. Beds felt very soft and old. First night I had such a backache I switched to the other bed which was only slightly less soft. The softness is uneven and the bed had a concave half portion similar to what happens when mattresses wear down. Telephone in the room didn’t work. I also go an email while I was on the plane stating my card didn’t go thru and they were canceling my reservation. When I got to the hotel they had not canceled it, but I was told “oh that’s just our front desk, sometimes they send those emails out”. I used the same card when I got there with no issues so I worried for nothing. Hotel was right across from the metro station. Every time I left the hotel I was surrounded by houseless mentally unstable people. I’m no stranger to that population having lived in Portland but it left me so unsettled I couldn’t walk anywhere, had to keep taking Lyft rides to family events. For $350 a night I expect better. Most rooms/hotels I have stayed in for the same price are significantly nicer quality. Disappointing.

My stay was so not worth the amount of money I paid. The rooms were sterile and echoed due to the wood floors and high ceilings. The surrounding area was dirty-dirty and I felt unsafe walking to/from the hotel. The relaxation area with the fire pit near the pool was non operational. And the only food available was heated premade sandwiches and pastries from 5:30-11 pm. Parking is valet only and runs $55 a night, or you could park across the street in an unprotected lot surrounded by the homeless. Don’t waste your money and stay at the Hampton Inn up the street. Walked through and was a much better hotel….

The room was really nice and comfortable. Everything was clean. Great location. The early morning noise from the tram stop opposite might be an issue for some, but we had just arrived from Europe so the jet lag meant we were awake anyway. The coffee machine was broken so had to walk 2 blocks to get moring coffee.

Property was great and staff were super helpful and friendly. The shopping plaza nearby is average and half the shops are empty. Walking distance to the pier however it is a bit rundown
