“Nice Hotel, Great Building”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

This hotel is in a great old apartment building with a lot of character. Still uses the old elevators that you open manually and it has kept all the charm of the buildings of that era. The area is great, short walk to the pier and the promenade and feels safe. The room was clean and spacious for the two of us and overlooked the entry garden/courtyard which was maintained perfectly. The staff were helpful in giving advise on travelling around the area. The only issue we had was one night we could here the people in the room adjacent speaking (muffled not clearly), which was a little annoying but not offputting. If you want to stay in Santa Monica, and i recommend you do, this is a great spot.

Stayed December 2011, travelled as a couple

“Great ambience and charm”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

I can only echo what previous reviews have said, great location, on street parking, faded but elegant decor. We stayed in an apartment which was spacious and comfortable. We bought supplies from the nearby World market and had a leisurely breakfast in our room. Brigitta was very friendly and helpful.

“really old, lack of amenities, but good enough”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

person found this review helpful

This is a very old building. Once there, you have a haunted feeling. I stayed there for the weekend, and I only saw 3 guests for the entire stay. Consider it is a large building, with so few person I saw, it definately feel a little weird.

It is in a very quiet neighbourhood, and the surroundings are safe. I walk in the night and have no problems.

The front desk person is friendly. The problem is front desk only have person available from 8am to 8pm in the weekend. If you arrive late, I suggest you make a phone call and let them know first.

Room Tip: The rooms on the third floor are better. I stayed in room 304, not big, but safe and quiet.

“Old and charming.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

person found this review helpful

Good location and lovely hotel, old but charming and very helpful staff. The room we stay was small but comfortable. The best of Santa Monica is just a walking distance.Not for everyone if you are looking for modern room.Suitable for couples and families with varieties of rooms. We enjoyed our 2 nights stay and will be back again.

“Great homebase for a walking vacation”

I agree with all the reviews that say this place is Excellent. My only addition is that if you want to spend the weekend in Santa Monica without a car, this is a good place to stay. You can eat, sleep and shop all within walking distance of this place. Enjoy!
