The guest experience

8.6out of 10
890 verified reviews

Loved most

  • Excellent location and views
  • Friendly, professional valet and many praised staff members
  • Good breakfast and lounge food
  • Spacious rooms (in some cases)
  • Atmospheric, historic property
  • Strong overall guest experience for many visitors

Worth knowing — Outdated rooms, AC issues and inconsistent views · Cleanliness concerns (scuffed/dirty furniture reported) · Noise from private events/bars disrupting sleep · Small, crowded pool and insufficient sunbeds · High valet/parking costs and tipping pressure · Poor handling of serious complaints (food poisoning, reception responsiveness)

How guests scored the stay

  • Location10.0

    Consistently excellent: repeatedly described as ‘great location’, walking distance to beach and Santa Monica Pier, superb views from rooms.

  • Overall Experience10.0

    Overall stays are frequently described as enjoyable and recommendable (many guests would stay again), with strong atmosphere and location outweighing negatives for most reviewers.

  • Service9.8

    Generally very strong service: repeated praise for valet (Melvin & Kris), front desk staff (Mateo) and attentive pool/reception teams; however there are notable exceptions (reception ignored some complaints and handled room-change poorly).

  • Amenities8.8

    Property and amenities (pool, lounges, meeting spaces) are generally appreciated, though pool is described as small/crowded, not enough sunbeds and some late-night noise from bars/events.

  • Food and Beverage8.5

    Mixed: several positive comments about breakfast, cocktails and lounge food, but a serious negative report of food poisoning and staff response that hurt confidence in F&B safety/handling.

  • Value for Money7.7

    Mixed/leaning negative: expensive valet fees and complaints about tipping pressure and perceived poor handling of serious issues (e.g., food poisoning) reduce perceived value.

  • Cleanliness7.5

    Mixed signals: some praise for housekeeping and overall atmosphere, but multiple mentions of dirty/scuffed furniture and cleanliness issues in rooms.

    “The hotel’s location was excellent, and our spacious room had a lovely view of Santa Monica Pier, along with a generously sized bathroom. The property was very clean, with excellent facilities and a wonderful restaurant and bar. The reception team was welcoming, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay, making the experience even more enjoyable. Running into Arnold Schwarzenegger at breakfast was also a lovely surprise!”
