This property felt very safe, with good off-street parking, and it was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The coffee machine in the front lounge was worthy of the Ritz. The staff was lovely to us, and overall, this was an exceptional value for the money. We were attending an event in Santa Monica, and this was convenient to Olympic, Pico, and the 10.

Looks reasonable, low cost, works if you are just passing through. When you look closer you can notice the flaws, dirt, age, quality. Rooms need updated bedding and towels, otherwise it worked.

It was decently priced relative to other hotels but cleanliness wasn’t all there. Some of the surrounding streets also didn’t seem the most safe.

Female front desk agent is a natural for the hospitality business. Her ability to make quick, guest-centric decisions which also benefit the company and build guest loyalty was such a relief in this current state of the business. Thank you !

Pros: Parking was free and safe. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean. The reception staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was convenient and we could easily reach most places. Cons: The sink was outside the bathroom( I don’t know the other rooms). The A/C was old school and noisy. The towels were clean but had a strange smell.

Middle of the road motel

Blankets were full of burn holes(even though we were in a non smoking room) and were too itchy. Bed was comfortable though and the sheets were clean. Also the ice machine didn't work during our stay. Coffee provided in the morning was good.
