A Santa Monica typical and original layout, with an outside path decorated with outside furniture, leads you the beach,. One of the best Boutique hotel I have ever stayed before, with easy access to the Santa Monica sights, re; 7 .mins walk to the Pier, 3 minutes to the beach and the famous boardwalk extending to Venice Beach, and the palissades, on the North Side. Very friendly and Attentive Staff. This boutique hotel felt like I was on the sets of famous Sitcom ' Three's Company' The only neg point here, the hotels, among others very close by hotels, is a large publick park, across Ocean Blvd, which is not the safest area to walk in, day and night. This was raised by the Staff on check in. Best 3 stars property, near all sights in Santa Monica

This property is small, quaint, and walking distance to pier and eating places. Situated on a busy street so be prepared for noise at night, especially in room 28. The room was comfortable but could use some blackout curtains and updated windows for the noise level. It had a small fridge to store food/drinks. Not a lot of parking spots so reserve prior for a fee. The staff were nice and helpful in suggesting places to eat.

First Floor equals NOISY!
We loved the hotel for it's location. We rated it poor because once the parking lot is full you have to park far away and the worst part was having a room on the first floor. It felt like an earthquake late into the night and too early in the morning. We would never stay on the first floor again.
