This is charming hotel in the center of Santa Monica, every kind of dining is a step away from the front door. And the famous pier is a short walk. The bed was very comfortable with ample blankets and what not. The ceiling fan was perfect.

Great location just a block from Ocean Ave. The eatery, Bright Side is an excellent stop. Open for breakfast and lunch and the food is delicious and a very friendly staff. The room was very plain and no in-room fridge. Had to take ice bucket to the kibble to be filled. Sharp loby and attentive car valet.
