8/10 Very good

This is a lovely hotel just steps from the Santa Monica pier!! Upon check-in we were told that we can borrow beach chairs, beach towels, football, and soccer ball and boogie boards, and lots of other things to bring to the beach! The room was lovely and clean. The pool is very nice also and very nice chairs to lounge in. The only thing I would note, especially if you’re traveling with children - this has nothing to do with the hotel and it’s nothing against them, but there’s a very large homeless population in Santa Monica and around the hotel. I witnessed many of them doing d r u g s in broad daylight and I didn’t feel totally safe walking around there. Especially with a child with me. This isn’t the hotel’s fault, of course but just a note for our families traveling to beware that Santa Monica has a very large homeless population and the entire area smells like urine outside. But outside of that, it was a great day and the hotel is lovely.

Staff were friendly and attentive. The room was very nice and clean. The pool is next to the freeway, down a set of stairs. It is very nice, has good seating, however it is below the dumpsters for the kitchen and the lids for the dumpster were open and hanging over the lounge chair area. We were concerned we'd end up under a bag of trash while laying out.
