The Jacuzzi was the best cherry on top to our stay there. We did splurge for the oceanfront business suite which was nice a little extra space and an amazing view of the sunset. I mean amazing also lit view of the pier in the distance because we did get the top floor in the corner not the penthouse just the fifth floor, but still amazing thank you. Everything was lovely. The coffee shop in the morning was also wonderful Thank you to the staff.

The front desk “manager” Julian, could benefit from a crash course in hospitality. Their demeanor felt far more suited to a budget chain off the 405 than a property trying to brand itself as a boutique experience - The smug presentation was completely out of sync with the boutique atmosphere this hotel seems desperate to create while attempting to resurrect itself. I’m using the word “boutique,” only because there isn’t a better descriptor for “busted but trying” to recoup investor capital. It’s one thing when the nightly rate far exceeds the service delivered not uncommon; it’s another when an array of misc. charges appears to be the strategy for dragging this aging property back from the brink. With plenty of surrounding options offering better value—and likely far happier to welcome guests—If this hotel wants to succeed, it needs associates who are invested in the experience and ownership willing to fix what desperately needs attention.

Enjoyed our clean room with Ocean view. Staff are all friendly and helpful. A nice rooftop bar serves very good well-balanced cocktails. The best part was the large courtyard with a pool and a hot tub. a few mins walk to nice restaurants and shopping. Couldn't be better!

This hotel was super nice despite being a bit on the older side. They had a Machine Gun Kelly coffee pop up so the music was bumping upon arrival, our kind of vibes! The front desk worker, Burke, was super accommodating and friendly. We had the 2 bedroom suite on floor 4 with corner view and could see the beautiful palm trees, beach, and Santa Monica Pier! The pool and hot tub were great, our kids loved it. The rooftop lounge was great, the bartender was super friendly and the drinks were delicious. America isnt shy pouring the booze! We would definitely stay here again!

This review comes from an additional day I stayed at this wonderful historic hotel. Staff were beyond awesome. Family friendly which keeps us coming back to this hotel. The outdoor pool is perfect in temperature. Each window from my room had an ocean view which I love and appreciate it. Julien, Burke, and Ihor, were wonderful hosts, made my family happy and welcomed. Very kind and friendly, thoughtful and extremely helpful.
