The property is new and gorgeous. Literally five steps from the beach and the Santa Monica pier. Very walkable to a ton of shops and restaurants. The staff is extremely friendly. The rooms were very nice and I noticed that they had exactly what you should have or need in a hotel room.
The helpful things that were provided: refrigerator, robes, Netflix streaming, body wash and shampoo and conditioner in the shower, hair dryer, luggage rack, a few drawers, a nice table, and an awesome couch.
The only thing to note is that parking is pricey, and the restaurant in the hotel is very pricey. Parking is $65 per night as a guest of the hotel, and it is valet only, so you have to wait for a valet every time you want to leave in your car. While the valets are prompt, the tip money adds up.
