Save yourself the money, time and headache and do not stay here . The lady checking us in upon our arrival was the only best interaction we received during this entire stay. The room is not at all as described. There is no central heating or air condition. It is California however, when the sun goes down, it is freezing. The bathroom is disgusting and the shower is even worse. It was so dirty. There are no microwaves or coffee machines in the unit. You have to go down to the office to get such accommodations.The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything. It says it is “family and pet friendly”, however, it is absolutely not.The parking is way overpriced and terrible. The customer service was the absolute worst that I’ve ever experienced in my entire lifetime. Every interaction with every employee was horrible. We ended up leaving and extending our stay with another hotel further down, it was not until then things turned around for our vacation. The other hotel was super accommodating, way more comfortable and friendly, not to mention way cheaper.

Walking direct beach access 1 block from Santa Monica Pier but without the noise and traffic. Great food options and shopping walkable distance. Easy access to Santa Monica Freeway (hwy10). Microwave and unlimited coffee access in office (not in room) but 24 hour access. Safe and refrigerator in room. Quaint walkways to private secure outdoor entrance to room. Reasonable price off street parking. Staff were all helpful and pleasant. Would definitely stay again.
