They fit a lot into this compact resort! Location and room view of the beach and pier was amazing.The staff were incredible. Upon entry to leaving, everyone was extremely kind, helpful. They offered car service upon hearing we needed an uber (their Lucid was cool). Loved the water service station on each floor. The pool is small by resort standards if you are imagining Hawaii or similar, but for Santa Monica, it’s likely one of the best under four digits a night. Our main issue was the room AC wasn’t cooling the room and we were there at peak heat. They’ve certainly had this fixed by now. They quickly brought a fan which was helpful but only operated on low speed. There is a hopping club out front which was fun to hear from our balcony as we looked out at the Santa Monica pier with drinks at the end of the night. The door was very effective at eliminating the music when we were ready to turn in. If you really want to avoid any club sounds or sights, just ask for a room facing the pool side which most will also have views of the sunset I’m guessing. The room was nice, bed was very comfortable. They allowed us to have our room prior to 3pm because it was ready and a noon check out is more civilized than most hotels at 11am.
