Highly recommend
The building was historic and beautiful. The staff was very polite, friendly, and receptive to anything we needed. Having 24hr valet service was convenient however we didn't use our car much since we were a block from the beach, 2 blocks from the santa monica pier, across the street from the mall, and righ next to the shopping district we had everything we needed for the weekend. We truly enjoyed our stay and i look forward to staying again.

Haunted for Sure!
Saw Cirque DU Soliel which was great but got back to the room at 11pm and the guest upstairs decided to start walking. Loudly. Until 8am the following morning! Crazy. Tried to call to let them know there's an insomniac trying to get their steps but the phone didn't work. TV didn't work either. And the beds--bad, bad, bad! We came home and selt for two days to make up for this terrible $300/night room.

The photos do not accurately reflect the poor condition of the property. The bathroom in particular was very old. The heating wasn’t working in the room. Do not recommend.

The property is a bit older, which you can't tell until you get into the facilities. It looks like they are remodeling and the rooms are well maintained, but the halls and lobby need to be refreshed. The carpet in the halls looked like it needed to be vacuumed or replaced. The restroom (toilet and sink) in the room were older but the room and bed seemed refreshed; however, it still doesn't look like the pictures. I needed an early check-in and the woman at the front desk was so polite and accommodating. She was able to get me a freshly cleaned room so I could get ready before my event in town. The staff were very friendly! It was very centrally located to the pier and 3rd Street Promenade.

Charming Carmel
I usually stay here. It is an older property but very well maintained and always clean. It is quiet and I sleep well. They are renovating room by room. No refrigerator, no microwave. Close to Ocean Ave, the pier, 3rd street promenade. TV reception was intermittent this go round but that is not that important to me. More economical than the higher end places and comfortable. Secure parking.

Hidden resort fee of $23 a day for motel-like quality. Location is perfect. However, it should not be the reason to charge hidden resort fee.

Concert in L.A.
The description says it has 2 bars, it does not. There was no fridge in the room, which is a bummer. The staff was excellent and beyond. The location is superb.
