Very easy check in, very clean and simple room to stay in if you're not spending a lot of time indoors. A good value to stay in for Santa Monica and also easy walking to local restaurants and about 10min away from the beach. Olivier was very easy to get a hold of and provides a nice list of local recommendations in the room and online in the booking. One thing to note, there wasn't any air conditioning in the room so if it's an unusually hot day, it can get a bit warm.
