Jeff ensured I felt well prepared to check in. The place looks more rustic in photos. The bathroom features are new and clean. I was immediately impressed upon walking in, and appreciated the little touches like beach items tucked away in the bedroom closet (Styrofoam cooler, beach towels, bamboo beach spread, etc.).

The space is more than adequate, larger than most hotel rooms, and the location is very central to Santa Monica venues and the beach. Loved it!
