We stayed at the Embassy for two nights and loved it. It's a beautiful old building that's clean, comfortable and oozing character. Centrally located (near tons of great restaurants, bars and the pier/beach) with lots of lovely details (including a lush courtyard, a piano and a little library). The rooms seemed a touch dated but they were super clean and... More

Both my husband and I love this hotel. We have stayed here many times, as we regularly visit the US. This is the place to rest and relax before the long flight back to Australia. If you're looking for a place with a doorman, room service and the amenities of a 5 star hotel, this is not the place for... More

This hotel was formerly an apartment, built in the late 20's. The building has retained most if not all of its original architecture, fixtures, decor, etc. and it's well-maintained. The manager (Birgitta) greeted me immediately and upgraded me from a studio suite to a one-bedroom suite for a mere $10 extra! (It was New Year's Eve, so they probably had... More

This hotel is in a great old apartment building with a lot of character. Still uses the old elevators that you open manually and it has kept all the charm of the buildings of that era. The area is great, short walk to the pier and the promenade and feels safe. The room was clean and spacious for the two... More

I can only echo what previous reviews have said, great location, on street parking, faded but elegant decor. We stayed in an apartment which was spacious and comfortable. We bought supplies from the nearby World market and had a leisurely breakfast in our room. Brigitta was very friendly and helpful. More

This is a very old building. Once there, you have a haunted feeling. I stayed there for the weekend, and I only saw 3 guests for the entire stay. Consider it is a large building, with so few person I saw, it definately feel a little weird. It is in a very quiet neighbourhood, and the surroundings are safe. I... More

Good location and lovely hotel, old but charming and very helpful staff. The room we stay was small but comfortable. The best of Santa Monica is just a walking distance.Not for everyone if you are looking for modern room.Suitable for couples and families with varieties of rooms. We enjoyed our 2 nights stay and will be back again. More

I agree with all the reviews that say this place is Excellent. My only addition is that if you want to spend the weekend in Santa Monica without a car, this is a good place to stay. You can eat, sleep and shop all within walking distance of this place. Enjoy! More

We stayed here as a family. Two adults and two children aged 1 and 3 - and it was ideal. The apartment had a large separate living room, small kitchen/diner and separate bedroom. It was very spacious with all things needed for families - microwave, fridge, etc. The location was great - only a few minutes from the 3rd St... More

From the minute we entered the gateway we know we would love it here - so very old Hollywood, beautiful gardens & spacious lobby. Brigitte was very helpful especially as regards parking which we did not find a problem, but maybe it is quieter mid week in October - always found a space outside the building. Stayed for just 2...
