We loved staying here. It was actually better than expected! Silvio is extremely nice and answered any questions we had. He was very accommodating. We stayed two nights during the week so the noise level was fine. The walls are thin but we didn't mind. The location- you just can't beat it. You might have an ocean view, you might not but either way the building is literally across the street from the ocean. Coming from someone who has never seen the pacific before- that was incredible. So close to 3rd street prom and the mall. So close to other great restaurants. The metro is right there which we took to get to Venice. Although you can also rent bikes right across the street too! Oh and the beds were super comfy!
