Good choice for Santa Monica
The Proper is a newer nice clean place to stay in Santa Monica given how expensive all the hotels are in that area (it is expensive as well, given the room size). The rooms are small but nice. It can be quite loud on the Landmark side that is off Wilshire. Multiple sirens throughout the day can be heard as well as regular traffic. We had to wear earplugs at times. Our in-room Nespresso supplies were not replenished regularly. Be careful of in-room snacks-they are stupendously expensive (22.00 for M&M’s!!) The bath products are very nice there. Pretty rooftop bar and restaurant where you can watch the sunset. It is a popular spot and need to book reservations early. I’d probably stay there again while in Santa Monica, but stay in the Contemporary building (which can also be loud from the rooftop bar). Need to choose your room wisely. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

Location is not 5 stars
The location has suffered post covid, Wilshire around the hotel has a lot of shuttered locations and it's a 1/2 mile / 10+ minute walk to the bluff, which in the morning or evening when few people are around, you'll want to stay aware. Sketchy 7/11 across the street. Room was a "balcony," which it had, but it faced a wall. Why do this? The decor already feels circa 2020, so I'm not sure how eco-friendly it is when they swap out all those bubble chairs and headboards in a few years. Staff is really friendly/helpful.
