A no-frills hotel that gives you a welcoming staff and a comfortable bed. Rooms look more like dormitory rooms. The restaurant is currently closed and breakfast is served in a meeting room. Breakfast, once again, is no-frills compared to other Best Western Hotels that I have stayed. Be on the look out for this hotel as it is at a busy intersection and can easily be missed.
Great location. Quiet spot with plenty of room. Refrigerator and loovers were nice touch. Beds extremely comfortable. Reasonable price for the area. Will stay again.
Excellent. affordable alternative in Santa Monica. Easy access to public transportation, walk to mall and Montana. Very quiet despite proximity to hospitals. Staff efficient and professional. We will definitely be back.
Initially we were placed in a room which had a lot of street noise. We switched rooms and the noise level was much better. Rooms had comfortable beds and no carpets. Carpets in hallway have seen better days. Underground parking was a nice bonus. Had breakfast at next door restaurant, food was mediocre.
Clean, well positioned for middle of Santa Monica. Pleasant staff. Book direct for best deals and to get points. Special price if you are there for medical treatment nearby (we were). Free parking and very convenient accessible from several streets/alleys into hotel.. Came in fro 405 to I10 and then to Hotel. Less congested than via Wilshire Boulevard.
Hotel is in a middling part of town. They shut off the elevators sometime after midnight, so keep that in mind when checking in and parking in the underground parking. Free parking was good. Late check in (2 am) was convenient for us. It's about half an hour to 40 minutes to Universal studios/Hollywood, for reference. Room was great, amenities were great. Our room was quiet. Staff was nice.
Honestly, I have stayed here twice and both times have been fantastic. Location is great and close to everything you could need in Santa Monica and the staff and facilities are always on point, clean, and welcoming.
Also, the beds are extremely comfortable. I stayed there for a work trip and it made me want to just sleep in all morning!
The room was very nice and the bed was comfortable.The only problem we had with the room was the noise from upstairs. The parking was a little tight and underground. The restraunt next door served delicious food and opens early. Quick and easy access to everything. Best to take the city transit, straight shot down Santa Monica Blvd to shopping, restraunts, and the beach.
This hotel was very nice - room large with good sized bathroom and counter space in the bathroom. Had problems with heating/air but it was fixed immediately. My only problem was the cost which seemed very high to me. My company made the arrangements and I was stuck - now waiting for my reimbursement. There is a new restaurant next door that was opening the last day of my stay. It is called Rudy and Hudson's - such nice people and the food was really great! Otherwise you have to walk a bit to get to food which I was exhausted after working all day and did not want to do. Ordering food over the internet was not a good experience for me here.
The hotel is nothing fancy, plain and simple but definitely comfortable for a short stay. The room was very clean (no carpet, which I liked) and the beds were very comfortable. The only complaint I had about the room is that the bathroom door does not stay open and it can get quite hot in there after a shower or blow drying your hair.
The breakfast was good. Some eggs, toast with jam or cream cheese, some pastries, coffee or tea, yogurt. So a pretty good selection and they do refill so you don't have rush to be the first in line.
Overall we had a very good 2 night stay at this Best Western.
Very close to the pier. No pool but again the pier is very close. They served breakfast and they had eggs and bacon!! Parking is easy since they have a garage. Ihop was closed when I went but restaurants are a walk away and let's face it, you are in California, the weather is great, enjoy the walk
Very nice spacious rooms, very clean beds were comfortable. Good showers. Staff very helpful. Breakfast which was being held in a meeting room whilst the restaurant is remodelled was also good. Convenient for catching the bus to santa Monica and close enough to LA.
