Hello Jose,Thank you for your rating.

Clean hotel, clean room, safe location, safe parking $16 a night. The room was visibly and physically slanted. The beds were worn, not of good quality and extremely lumpy and uncomfortable, able to feel the springs of the bed. Toilet paper roll broken. Refrigerator Not working. Not able to charge phone without a wall unit. One of the ladies at the front desk became rude and tried to intimidate my teen daughter when a second key was requested for our room. Worst of all was the “on the go breakfast” which was a low quality chewy granola bar, banana, tiny light yogurt. I paid almost $300 a night and received $59 a night experience. This hotel should be ashamed of itself. I will not revisit this hotel.

Hello,Thank you for your rating.

You’d think booking through Travelocity that they would put us in a good room, us members like to share our thoughts! The room was clean, nice to have wood floors instead of carpet. The road noise kept us up all night along with the sirens. So not a restful stay. Ask to stay on the inside, not the street side.

Dear Denise, Thank you very much for your recent stay with us. We are glad that you liked our room and we are sorry about the street noise. We hope you will give us another opportunity next time you travel to Santa Monica and if you do, please let us know and we will assign a room on the opposite side of the street. Thanks again for your preference and have a nice rest of your week.
