Downtown Santa Monica Holidays

It was a very pleasant stay. A virtual front desk and a home feel to the room was very pleasant.

Pros: - Excellent location right in Beverly Hills, about 5-minute walking distance from Beverly Dr and Rodeo Dr. - Affordable room rate, considering the location in Beverly Hills - Spacious room - Renovated bathroom, with Japanese-style toilet (water jet, etc.) - Very comfortable bed - Front desk staff member Monica is outstanding; very customer-focused and helpful (unlike some of her colleagues) Cons: - Hotel is dark and uninviting, needs a complete makeover - No restaurant in hotel - Paint inside room is dated and needs a good refresh - Flooring in hallways is being renovated, causing noise - Despite having been renovated, the bathroom is quite dark and the room in general is not inviting - Mini-fridge in my room was very noisy at night and prevented me from sleeping until I unplugged it. All in all, good value if you want to stay in the heart of Beverly Hills, but if you’re looking for feeling cozy in your room and having a restful night, this might not be for you.

We loved this hotel! We stayed here with our 3 kids and enjoyed

Loved our room! Retro for sure!

The hotel was fine, there was not a physical front check, but instead a self-service kiosk which was easy to use. The room was a shoe box but clean. I only stayed one night and would probably not stay longer than that. The only problem that we ran into was the parking situation, there is street parking which I am not sure if you can park overnight, and the parking garage next to them charged us $90 to park for 12 hours. If i had known that the parking would cost about the same as the hotel I might've chosen somewhere else. Very easy walk to the Hollywood Palladium,
