The place was really nice, nice location, easy self check in, and had a beautiful sunset view of the ocean and Santa Monica pier. However I’m not sure if I would stay here again because it’s right above a bar and restaurant and the music and bass is so loud. Would have been fine if I hadn’t planned on spending a lot of time there. Even with noise cancelling head phones you can feel the bass so unless you plan on being gone during late hours, it may not be ideal. The housekeeper kept coming into my room while I was there sometimes while I was on the phone or not fully dressed so a bit of a privacy issue there. She was sweet and luckily it wasn’t a huge deal to me but it may have been a big deal for someone else. I did book last minute but It seemed like there was a lack of communication between her and the owner on when I was going to be there and check out. Also the day I checked in the owner did not respond to me until the next day and when I asked about the music/noise he did not address it. Granted it was Super Bowl night/weekend and maybe it was unusually loud so I couldn’t really be too upset especially since mostly everything else was booked up or super expensive but just keep in mind when booking! Oh and there’s no AC only a standing fan. Overall it was fine considering what my options were.
