Great Location, Great View of the Pier! Room was as pictured, bathroom shows heavy use, but you should stay here for the location and not so much for the accommodations. It is a clean room with everything you could need at the entrance to Santa Monica Pier. Close to attractions, shopping and restaurants - great people watching out both windows.
Be prepared to hear loud music from the bar downstairs; bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper (we slept with the windows open and enjoyed the free massage from the bass emanating downstairs). City of Santa Monica Parking Structure #6 is just one block East on 2nd Street and is close, secure and reasonable in price.
We enjoyed ourselves and will have great memories of this stay and trip. Host was communicative and instructions were clear for check in and out.
