l'hôtel est très bien situé, pas loin de Santa Monica, et Venice Beach, il est propre, le personnel est gentil, le parking au sous sol a 17$ la journée, acceptable comparant a d'autre hôtels. Ce que je n'ai pas aimé, le petit déjeuner est très basique... une seule table a coté du café, il faut sortir un peu de l'hôtel pour avoir une table, le bruit de la clim est insupportable !!! donc soit vous supportez la chaleur soit le bruit , les deux vous empêchent de dormir

The food options (advertised as continental breakfast) were minimal. If you're looking for a firm mattress, do not stay here. Maybe managed 4 hours sleep on the too soft mattress. Then the right wing TV in the lobby. Not what I wanted greeting me after a rough sleep. Please be more considerate to all your guests in that way.

Very friendly and helpful staff at check in/out. I appreciated the non skid mat in the shower, the toiletries, and a well lit mirror over the sink. I ate at Socalo next door and it was amazing - highly recommend. The parking fee was very reasonable for the area. I highly recommend staying her and will return if in the area again.

A very clean & friendly place to stay that’s a short distance from the beach. Parking on site & a fantastic place to have dinner downstairs (SOCALO). Room was comfortable with a great view of some towering palm trees.
