The hotel was adorable and affordable! It was very clean and the staff was very friendly! The only negative is that they don’t have AC so the room got uncomfortable at night . They do provide extra fans though.

Good staff, below average place to stay

I had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. The building is quite old and the facilities reflect that. There was no air conditioning, which was not clearly mentioned at the time of booking. Fans were provided, but there were not enough proper outlets to plug them in. The parking was very limited and congested, making it inconvenient. The worst part was the flies and insects coming out of the sink and into the room, which made the stay very uncomfortable. On a positive note, the staff was nice and helpful, but overall this was a bad experience and not what I expected. I left feeling very disappointed.

Great

We only stayed one night but were impressed with the cleanliness and facilities. The location was great too. We used it as a stop off on the way to LAX and it allowed us to go into Santa Monica before an easy drive to the airport. Nice, friendly staff too.

My son and I stayed for a few days here just exploring LA. It is a really cute place and nicely updated! However, get ready for small and quaint. Like no drawers for our stuff (I sometimes put clothes away!). Other than that, had all the basics. Parking is *tight* but it's LA and we were happy to even have parking! You can walk to the Santa Monica beach area w coffee shops etc but it's about a 20min brisk walk. The staff are in the office on and off. (Door is locked when they aren't there). Breakfast needs a bit of an upgrade I'm afraid. Just sugary stuff, all in packages. Overall, the place was pretty sweet (haha) just on the small side so be ready for that :) Would return.
