The location of this hotel is quite good when it comes to Santa Monica, but the valet staff who greeted us were extremely off putting, then the staff who checked us in botched almost every part of the process and then booked us in a different room than we paid for. The hotel itself is trying to be nice but if you look closely everything is falling apart and kind of gross. A lot of construction going on across the street too - there’s better options in SM for your stay for not much more money, especially when you factor in the $32 destination fee per night and $50+ parking per night.
