“This spot has a superb location and stylish decor, plus clean rooms and a lovely pool area, making it an ideal base to explore from; the pier and restaurants are an easy walk. While the bar situation seemed variable and some found the apartment-style setup unexpected, the location really can't be beat. Overall, it's a quirky but solid choice in a prime Santa Monica location.”
