Olivier was able to accommodate us last minute which was fantastic. We used the room to avoid driving for an appointment in Santa Monica - sort of a staycation as we live in Glendale. The place was convenient to get to downtown Santa Monica via car service. It was also near Main Street which is a cool neighborhood that gets into Venice. The best way to use this room is on a trip that focuses on being out in the city or the beach, so you're too tired to miss not having a TV or a view. It is ground floor and has frosted windows. The place is cozy and private, reminded us of a Scandinavian minimalism and was very easy to get to. The book selection in room was great if you want to take one to the beach. Local guide book next to the bed had Venice and Santa Monica bookmarked which was a nice detail. Dim-able track lighting was an appreciated feature. Internet was convenient and parking pass was waiting on the table inside. Also included a micro fridge. All in all a great price for proximity and cleanliness. We'd absolutely recommend it.
