The Property was right next to the Santa Monica Pier, tons of shopping and restaurants! The room was clean and comfortable for a small family Parking was the only drawback! We had to park down the street in a parking garage for $20. The hotel charged more, and we were willing to pay it, but they were out of parking spots!
