The Mark in Santa Monica was just spectacular all the way across the board. Ellen set the stage with wonderful communication and little touches that made our stay special. She had everything, snacks, coffee, water, toiletries, even sunscreen, beach towels, chairs and an umbrella for the beach, which is close by.
The real star isn’t just the comfy room, it’s the backyard; a beautiful, serene, multi-level garden with pomegranate trees and little hummingbirds and friends buzzing about. A quiet getaway right near the action, in lovely neighborhood with tons of great places to hang nearby.
Also, no TV is actually a brilliant move. Of course you could watch on your phone, tablet or laptop, but why with the beauty of peace surrounding you.
We had a wonderful time and would be back in a heartbeat.
