You're steps from dozens of Santa Monica eateries perfect for a late-night bite.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about calm than crowds, Santa Monica’s beachfront bars and lounges are right outside your door.

What People Say

Guests love the prime beachside location, praising the hotel’s walkability to attractions and venues.

Many note the hotel is a perfect mix for those wanting to experience Santa Monica’s energy but retreat to peace afterward.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention parking can be pricey, and while the vibe is serene, those looking for a party scene within the hotel might find it a bit too mellow. Also, the check-in time of 4 PM feels a tad late for early arrivals.
