“DO NOT STAY HERE!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

people found this review helpful

This was the last hotel in our trip around California. We booked and pre-payed through bookit.com. Upon arriving, we were dismayed to see the pool was the size of a bathtub- heater was broken. The lobby was dingy and dirty- looked like the area carpet had not been vacuumed in weeks. Despite this, we checked into our two rooms where grandma took one child to first room to use the bathroom. Upon entering the second room, my husband was surprised see an exterminator in the room spraying. He told him to "make himself comfortable, he would only be a minute".
The exterminator finished up in the room and proceeded to the lobby where I was still using the computer to check in for our flights the next day. To my horror and amazement, he started to spray his chemicals around the lobby around the baseboards! When I expressed my concern, he said "don't worry, it doesn't smell!" The receptionist had to ask him to stop, at least while I was in there. At this point, my husband told me that he had just been spraying in our room.
Horrified at the experience and not wanting my children to breathe in chemicals- not to mention thinking of what creatures they were spraying for- we left. We were told that we would still be charged for both rooms. We left Santa Monica and stayed at a hotel near the airport- cutting our sightseeing short by a day.
After we got home, I tried to get a refund for our troubles. Book-it was friendly, but told us that they would not refund our money. They contacted the hotel manager who also refused. My husband also contacted the manager who FINALLY agreed to refund part of the first room, but would not give us money back for the second one as my four year old daughter used the bathroom while all of this was happening.
Also, there was a man leaving one of the rooms in a $500 000 Bentley with three "ladies of the night" on his arm...definately not a place for families!
I am entirely disappointed with our whole experience and will NEVER pre-book a hotel through a second party web-site again. It was not worth the extra "savings". As far as this hotel goes, PLEASE do not go there! It was disgusting...both the quality of the hotel, as well as the manager's attitude.

Thank you

I know this guest he booked 2 rooms from bookit.com website and he book the rooms because he got the best deal in the area, When he check in he started to complaining about the area and wanted to stay near Santa Monica but the rooms were prepaid and to late to cancel still I agree on cancelling because I wanted the guest to be happy.

Then we have monthly Pest control service which he came on the same day and he also explain the guest this is not harmful it is guest regular maintenance and everything is fine but they got advantage and started complaining about it and wanted to leave I said ok but the used one room and everything was use in the room so I had to charge them for on night for that room but No they wanted that room not charge and they call best western customer service and bookit.com customer service and all of them explain them the same issue that if you have use some thing the hotel will charge you and that what I did.

So then he compliant on Trip advisor so everybody and see and he is lying about everything and we talk over the phone and I have explain hem everything and he was fine but still.

“Mr. Jay and Aryani will rob and disrespect you”

I checked into a room at 7:30 when I got in the room and tried to get on the Internet I called down and asked if something could be done Aryani assured me that the Internet will be fixed by 9:30. I waited till 9:30 and the Internet still did not work. I asked if I could just check out and get my money back since the room did not have all the amenities I was promised. She says no and when I ask if she can call her manager she says no he doesn't like to be bothered . Excuse me I thought costomer service came first? She brushed me off and says I can come back in the morning. Rudest people I have ever met I will report them to the bbb I'm getting my money back one way or another.

This was a lie and the frontdesk told the guest to come and take the refund in the morning as the manager was not on property and she did not have enough money to refund her .

Jay Call her in the morning and she did not answer the phone.

She is a regular guest and she stays here in past too.

The money is still here and we can refund here but she never call back .

thank you

“Pleasant and Enjoyable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

We drove in from Phoenix Thanksgiving morning and arrived fashionably early -- 10:00 a.m. to be exact. We knew check in was not until 3:00 p.m. but we went to the front desk just to let them know we had arrived. Without blinking an eye the wonderful woman at the front desk checked us into a room and we were able to go right up and have a little time to relax before meeting friends for lunch. That was totally great! Overall, this location is near virtually anything you would want to do (Hermosa Beach about a ten minute walk away, fresh seafood stands about five minutes away). The rooms were large and clean, there were free cookies in the lobby in the evening, and they have bike rentals. We got our money's worth and would return to this location in a heartbeat.

Room Tip: Request a harbor-view room. It offers a gorgeous sunset!

“Nice place for a night or more”

person found this review helpful

We stayed here as we wanted to pick up a motorhome in the area the next day. Airport shuttle from LAX is around $ 35 so this has to go into your calculation ... We found a convenient, friendly place with the most helpful staff and a nice complimentary breakfast that others have described here already -- the best start into the day you can imagine. Free wireless and a computer in the lobby.

“fantastic...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed here last minute as other arrangements made online were scary and we vacated early. This hotel staff was fantastic, ability to have access to a computer was something I took advantage of every moring in their lobby. Breakfast was over the top. My family did not have lunch most days as there was plenty to eat at breakfast- waffles, toast, cereal, oatmeal, etc. Rooms were clean, pool was reasonably sized and not busy at all. I especially like being right on the pier & could walk to some close dinig (joes Crab Shack) or other small homey takeout places further down the pier. Highly recommend this place.
