Stayed in Santa Monica for one night so this was a good choice. Staff were friendly and rooms were clean. Parking lot was a bit small but good location overall!

I inspected the rooms before unpacking and sitting on the beds and thank goodness I did. The Rooms had been cleaned well but the mattresses were so dirty it was horrifying. Blood and or bodily fluid stains bedaubed the mattresses and I checked back out immediately. The area surrounding the hotel is decent enough but probably among the worst parts of Santa Monica. The hotel staff refused to give me a refund despite me checking back out less than 10 minutes after I arrived. Thankfully Expedia processed my refund
