This place is directly in front of the PCH behind a gas station, the cars, noise and dust prevent you from opening the windows and even the shade. Although it is also directly across from the beach, and a 2-mile walk to downtown Santa Monica, the immediate area was run down and not attractive.
Anthony was very responsive but I think this is a real budget room rental that should have been around $80/night instead.
It is just not the kind of place we feel comfortable in. We actually left our room after our event and did not spend the night there. A side note was we saw employees of the restaurant behind the building smoking pot in the parking lot when we left.
