Location, location, location! My balcony had a direct view of the Pacific, with the sun setting right outside my doorway. The rooms were very clean, well-appointed and large enough to relax. The fridge and bar were fully stocked and ready for action. The pool area also served as an outdoor seating area to enjoy drinks on the patio. The staff was perfect from the baggage handlers to the room service. Everything was perfect! If there was one thing to change, it would be the prices. I understand this is Santa Monica, but $8.00 for a coke is just a bit ridiculous. If you want a hotel within a few hundred feet of the ocean and the warm sand, and just 10 minutes from the famous Santa Monica pier, then this is your place.
