Gorgeous boutique hotel. Stayed for business trip. It's an older building but they've done a great job at making it come alive again. Rooms are basic, but the bathrooms are luxe (nice bath tub!). Views of the ocean (from Queen Suite) are very nice. Neighbourhood is what you'd expect from the Santa Monica area, this is a nice pocket out of the busyness with great option dining options around. Cafe in The Eden is gorgeous - great coffee and basic bites! Loved working from there in the mornings :) Staff were very hospitable and fun! Thank you.

Loved my stay

Very friendly staff. Incredible location. The pillows were super comfy. We stayed in one of the suites with the king bed. The sofa bed was not super comfy. AC worked great. The room itself was spacious. We did the parking on-site which was $55/day but worth it since parking in that area is difficult to find and our car was safe. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location! The staff specifically Hanna was amazing, he was so hospitable and welcomed all guests like he knew them for years. The hotel was clean and the pool/lounge area was beautiful. The only issue was the shortage of towels at the pool other than that the stay was perfect.

Pre wedding scouting trip

The hotel just reopened in June, they are still working out the kinks. The coded door looks are glitching and this is a little time consuming. Every time I went in my room I had to put the code in at least three times. The code was the same for the pool access, but it worked fine. Towels were an issue at the pool. They didn’t have as many as they needed, and some needed a good bleaching. These are small things, and didn’t impact our trip. We would definitely stay here again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The units are very tiny and very overpriced. There are no room amenities like even a microwave and you feel like you’re stuffed in an overpriced and overaged tuna can. They hit me with a hidden resort fee when we checked in even though Expedia guaranteed what we were paying up front. The valet are cool people but the rooftop “bar” is never open and the pool is pathetically accessible until 8pm when they close the “bar” down there which isn’t staffed anyway. I would rate this hotel 1 star of 5 if it weren’t for the location being so close to Santa Monica pier. I paid around $1000 for 2 nights and I would have canceled if I could’ve and went somewhere else. Our door lock PIN code didn’t work the entire time and the room smelled old as dirt. Towels were stained and old looking and I will never stay here again nor will I recommend it to anyone and I work in the travel industry for Travel and Leisure. My wife and I travel all the time all over the world and we pay top dollar for very nice places. This was our 2 year anniversary trip and we notified them ahead of time and they did nothing to make our special occasion feel anything but disappointing. The thimble of fresh squeezed juice at check in was a joke of an attempt to say happy anniversary and thank you for choosing us for your celebration. I am telling everyone how disappointed we are to warn people to spend this kind of money at other facilities. OVERPRICED, OVERPROMISED, AND THEN THEY UNDERDELIVERED!

Great property in a great location. We throughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property, which is being wonderfully maintained. The rooms are spacious and cleaned spotlessly every day. The staff, everyone of them, were a pleasure and helpful. The pool area is a real treat. I read some earlier reviews about noise from a rooftop bar. It’s now closed and we didn’t hear anything and we stayed over the 4th weekend.

Beautiful newly refurbished 1940s deco hotel. Friendly staff. Open only 2 weeks when we stayed. Loved that you can open the windows for an ocean view. Fab marble tub. Glam pool deck with lush foliage. Free bicycles. Lovely bath amenities. Didn’t love: no free in room coffee/tea service, no glasses or H2O in the room, only one basic desk chair on standard Queen so you can’t easily lounge in your room. For price point there should have robes. Pool Bar closed at 6pm so no food or drinks on site after that, but pool open until 10pm. No full service restaurant. You can purchase coffee & pastry off lobby but that’s it. I’m sure they’ll work out some kinks and probably raise the rates.
Lobby lounge
The windows open!
The pool deck at night.
Free bicycles until dusk. We took the Venice Beach bike path to see the Venice Canals.
