Walking direct beach access 1 block from Santa Monica Pier but without the noise and traffic. Great food options and shopping walkable distance. Easy access to Santa Monica Freeway (hwy10). Microwave and unlimited coffee access in office (not in room) but 24 hour access. Safe and refrigerator in room. Quaint walkways to private secure outdoor entrance to room. Reasonable price off street parking. Staff were all helpful and pleasant. Would definitely stay again.

This hotel is really good. The location is excellent for going to beach and pier and third ave promenade. The style is vintage but the rooms are tastefully done. I would definitely stay here again. It was great value.

Disliked: Amenities
There was no on site parking. They are doing construction and half of the parking is taken by the dumpsters. It took us 45 mins to find parking where we felt safe leaving our car over night and then walk back to the hotel. We were lucky i think we were the only room with a view of the beach and Ocean. The room was ok and being so close to the pier and ocean was very convenient. If there would have been some way to communicate the parking situation it would have been better. Expectations are important.
