What do guests think about this lodging establishment?
The accommodation in Santa Monica received mixed reviews. Guests praised the friendly staff and great location, but raised concerns about several issues. The balcony was dirty and lacked furniture. The air conditioning often didn't work, and there was a problem with one of the elevators. Some guests experienced incidents with the hot water, and the bathtub/shower was difficult to use. While the kitchen appeared to be renovated, the overall condition of the building was described as old and run-down. However, some guests had positive experiences with newly refurbished rooms and found the front desk staff helpful. The hotel opposite the Santa Monica pier was highly praised for its beautiful setting, friendly staff, and rooftop bar with sunset views.
