Vintage charm in the heart of Santa Monica

We loved this vintage boutique hotel located close to Santa Monica beach. The art-deco ocean liner design and elegant pool deck area are beautiful. Yes the room layouts are a little old school with small sinks and no counter space but there are plenty of updated outlets and the service is fantastic. It can get a little noisy at night on Ocean blvd but it calms down after 11:00 pm. We've advise the mgmt they should have snacks available since there is no market nearby. The old fashioned elevators work great and are part of the charm - there's more personality here than a thousand Days Inns. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Bathroom had a toilet cleaning wand which was gross and unusual to see in a room. Mini fridge felt like a dorm room add on. Pool service was absent even though it was supposed to be open. Didn’t feel as upscale as advertised. But staff was incredibly friendly and provided good service.

Liked: Cleanliness
Lovely looking hotel in a perfect location. However, I was surprised and a bit disappointed by some of the basics missing from the room. When I called reception to ask for a hair dryer, I was told none of the rooms come with one, which seems unusual for a hotel of this standard. Eventually I was given one, but it felt unnecessarily inconvenient. Similarly, there was no coffee machine or even a kettle provided in the room, which really would have made the stay more comfortable. What stood out more than the missing amenities was the way the front desk handled the situation, not particularly helpful, which unfortunately left a less positive impression overall.

Great hotel. The rooftop bar was closed which wasn’t apparent when I booked but the pool area was super nice. Loved the coffee place- Thank you, Max! Beds were super comfy, loved the salt water pool, pool chairs, towels, wood deck, and efficient toilets. Minimalistic rooms with great public spaces in cool old building in a great location. Greek restaurants down the street rocked. Valet parking was great and easy!
