My fiancé and I enjoyed a 3 night stay here for our baby moon. It was such an amazing time. It’s walkable distance to the ocean and a ton of food places around. The room was very cute and comfortable! We really did not want to leave. Be sure to download the app before you get to the hotel. It will make checking in much easier.

Loved the easiness for check in and out. Roomy and clean. No hotel extra riff raff. Price was great. Room w a view of Santa Monica beach and ocean. Roof top bar w great views. Pool area was nice for lounging w multiple places to sit- even around a fire pit. We will be back for sure.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Funky art deco, South Beach vibe with a friendly staff and nicely appointed rooms. We arrived early and had to wait for our room to be cleaned so the staff suggested we go to the 10 floor lounge. Not really a lounge, more like a doctor's waiting room. A few chairs and sofas on a very large space with a restroom. No other amenities. Would be nice to have a coffee maker, water, something to nibble on and have some music playing. Very dreary and sterile

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pros: Spacious rooms, great location and comfortable beds with plenty of pillows Cons: Wifi was not working, which meant no internet and no TV access (we were reimbursed $50 for this), the window to our room would not close making it very drafty, the shower had very poor water pressure, quite loud (earplugs are provided) - thankfully the club on the roof was not open but if it was it would have been even louder Summary: Overpriced for what it is. Lacks basic amenities.
