The hotel is lovely to look at and the robes are super comfy but other than this I would not recommend it. There is an 'amenity charge' that is not optional. This charge allows you a free 2 hour happy hour and use of a car service. We tried to use the car service but there is seemingly only one car and, after a 45 minutes wait (during which we were told it was always 10-15 minutes away) we gave up and used uber. The wifi went out and the staff attitude was 'laid back' - we were told to call the wifi provider ourselves to trouble shoot the issue which wasted about 30 minutes and was an expensive phone call on my UK phone. One bonus was a room move in case the wifi worked elsewhere in the hotel. While it didn't fix the wifi, the room was much nicer and the air conditioning worked better in this room. Overall, this hotel isn't worth the money charged in my opinion.

Excellent in every way EXCEPT: using the TV was impossible. We spent an hour trying to figure out how to access the channel we wanted to watch. Gave up, finally! Please - can't things be less complex when it comes to simply wanting to watch TV???

what a gem! We have lived in LA for 20+ years and stayed at this hotel because of a surgical procedure across the street. In Short, I would recommend this hotel highly. The location, the service, the ambience, the charm of a smaller hotel, amazing great job!

This is my 2nd time at the property and for good reason - it's safe, clean, the staff is incredibly professional and accommodating. I will be a returning guest for sure!

Perfect hotel with location and comfort. Possibly over priced but Santa Monica is overpriced generally.

I expected a lot more from this hotel. By the time it was all done, I spent about $500 with initial cost and multiple hidden fees. With that price point, we could have stayed at a hotel with many more amenities and a much nicer room.
