We stayed at this lovely hotel for 4 nights in Nov 2012. It was the last leg of our Vegas, San Francisco, LA vacation. As usual for a Hillton hotel, everything was clean, comfortable and bright with excellent service by all. Lovely pool with bar service. We would surely stay here again. Loved everthing about LA.

My wife had a meeting in Santa Monica CA for the Society of Actuaries in January and when I looked up the website for the hotel I was very impressed and looked forward to the stay. In reality this is not an "All Suite" hotel as the room we were given was not a suite and was actually a very Tiny room. The bed was large and comfortable and the room was very clean and in excellent repair but lacked a comfortable place to sit. The one chair at the desk was really only suited to sitting upright at the desk. Definetely a lack of floor space so we were lucky that we arrived with only carry-ons as large suitcases would have been problamatic to maneuver around. Foyer and main floor were very attractive and sevice was friendly and helpful. Location is acceptable to most attractions but would question if any room had a good ocean view.

We stayed for two night's, hotel is walking distance from the Santa Monica Pier, and the 3rd street promanade. All the rooms are suites so that's a plus, staff were great, parking is all valet about $22.00 per night, it's LA so it's expected, no complaint's. All pro's no con's, great hotel I highly recommened it. Front desk staff gave my 4 year old daughter crayons and a Sponge Bob coloring book upon on check in, which she really enjoy and not to mention the wonderful warm cookies :)

Came here for a fellas excursion for my frat brothers birthday. We have nothing but positive things to say:

*Great location in Santa Monica- restaurants, stores in walking distance
*Room is nice and clean
*front desk workers were quite helpful, except one Asian looking female (she was dismissive)
*Valet workers were the most humble, efficient, and pleasant staff
*This hotel works because the you get more bang for your buck in terms of spacing.

I would recommend this hotel for young professionals on a group trip who want so kick it.
