“loud all night - old heating and plumbing”
Internet was down, the room was loud all night due to old heating and plumbing we think. Would not stay there again. Not worth the convenience.
“Too little for too much”
The hotel location is the best thing about this place. I took my Mother there before going on a Cruise and for the money they charged for a Ocean View, it's not worth it. The bathroom floor boards were crumbling away and the room just seemed old. The only good thing I thought was the convenience of the boardwalk and the free wifi. Other than that, not much to brag about.
“Great location”
Wonderfull hotel with ocean view , great location and friendly staff, need I say more...
“NOT IMPRESSED”
We booked a room for 5 at expedia, nowhere did it say that it occured extra cost when we got to the hotel. We also paid extra for ocean veiw and was places on the 2nd floor behind another building and could see a corner of the ocean if we where lucky. Hotel decor looks like the 80s. Expencive parking, other hotels in aerea charged half the fee.
“It is OK”
Room was OK but was surprised there was no information in the room about the hotel or hotel services. No pen or paper to write anything down on. Just seemed to be on the cheap side considering the price of the room. Based on the area I would tell friends about the hotel.
“Comfort, Not Luxury”
Ocean View is a well-kept but aging hotel in a superb location. It's pretty bare-bones: no bar or restaurant, no room service, no in-room minibar. It's clean, though, and the staff is friendly and helpful (though a request that the safe in my room be repaired so I could use it was never followed up; all that was needed, I think, was fresh batteries). Pillows were plentiful and among the most comfortable I've ever had anywhere. But the hotel is expensive relative to the limited amenities. Parking is a reasonable (for the area) $20 a day; use of computer in business center costs nearly six bucks. Overall, know that you're paying for location (which really can't be beat), not luxury.
“Best location and price”
The location and price were excellent. But you have to pay for parking, plus they also used it as public parking. So, if you returned from an outing late in the day or evening, you may not find a parking space. However, if plan on staying in the area, you can walk to all restaurants and shop. The pier and beach are practically across the street. Very convenient.
“Not impressed”
Expensive because it's on the ocean in Santa Monica but it is dirty, small, and offers no amenities. This was formerly a Best Western. The front desk could not recommend any decent places to eat breakfast - and we're in Santa Monica!! They did not program our room keys correctly, did not explain you need a key to operate the elevator. The luggage carts do not fit inside the hotel rooms, making it even more difficult to manage your stuff in the narrow hallways, and of course they don't offer any help with luggage. We had a view of a parking lot, which had an orange light on all night that shined into our bedroom. For the price of this hotel, I would have MUCH rather stayed somewhere else.
“Good location”
The hotel is located across the road from Santa Monica Pier. Check out the promenade two streets back from the hotel at night time. We also enjoyed the breakfast at the British Hotel around the corner.
“Pleased with excellent customer service and very curteous to guest.”
Excellent
