Couldn't have asked for a more central location - it was so easy to get on CA-1 and jet around the coast. The room overall is totally adequate for a quick stay, but longer than 2 nights would have been a bit of a stretch between how warm it gets in the room without A/C, the noise from parking lot, and shower that's on a slant so doesn't drain all the way. Anthony, however, was really quick to respond to a request for a fan, a question about plumbing, and to make sure we had beach towels on top of shower towels for the beach that is RIGHT across the street. If you're looking for a place to crash for a quick stay that's more affordable than probably almost any other option in Santa Monica, this is a good spot to consider.
