This place was very noisy. It must be in the flight path of the Santa Monica airport as there was constant noise of overhead aircraft, many of which are small prop planes that fly low and are thus super noisy. There is an apartment above and there’s not much soundproofing as it sounded like the people above (who were just walking around) were going to come right through the ceiling. There was also a dog who barked for nearly an hour as we were trying to sleep. It’s much brighter in the pictures, there is a lot of vegetation surrounding the windows that keep it dark. The entrance was down a very narrow walkway that would be hard to navigate after dark. We couldn’t get the front door to lock (front door was wide open when we arrived). We also had poor cell service. For the cost, we wished we had just spent a bit more for a nice hotel. We appreciated the extras like body lotion and I did like the claw-foot tub.
