This place is as advertised. Very good location, nice A/C (it was hot when we visited!), clean rooms and plenty of space for our family of 4. Check-in and check-out was simple and easy. Little noisy at night time but that is to be expected in this location. Beach is a 2-3 minute walk away. We used Lyft and Uber a lot and that worked great - could be at Santa Monica Pier in about 10 minutes for less than 10 dollars (depending on time of day).
