perfect location! there's nowhere else in the area a family of 4 could have access to such an amazing location at such a fair price. do yourself a favor and ask Silvio to reserve parking for you. you can't get any closer to the action at Santa Monica Pier and the beach. walkable to just about everything you could want - dining, shopping, entertainment... maid cleaned, well appointed rooms with VERY comfortable beds. we were warned about the neighborhood noise, at night, but it wasn't a factor with the windows closed. we will definitely be back!
