This is a great small little boutique hotel right by the beach. When I arrived in the evening, I was very concerned with parking but the kind front desk manager said he'd move his own car for me if I came back from the airport later and my spot was gone. The location for the price is pretty unbeatable, as it's a short walk to the water and the Santa Monica pier. The interiors have a very approachable, beach vibe. The AC in our room was great. For the money and location in Santa Monica, this place is a no brainer.
