"The property is nice but the elevators were HORRIBLE. Only two work for a hotel right next to an airport so it is really busy. Waited for a few elevators before I could squeeze in to one cause of how many people were staying."

"The hotel is nice is not really close to the Santa Monica pier but it’s in a good location. The bed is really comfortable but the pillows are very hard and they are more like cushions instead of pillows. Also, the parking is very small, so have that in consideration, if you have a larger vehicle. ..."
