Great stay for a great price
I come here annually with my sisters on Black Friday and have found their service to be warm and kind. Beds are comfy. Rooms are small, but all that we need. Can’t beat the location for the price.

A nice historic hotel with large, spacious room and bathroom. Staff was friendly, and the hotel has a complimentary fruit, cookies, and water in the lobby for guests. There is a small bar which is open Tuesday thru Saturday, and the hotel gives a 2 for 1 drink voucher for guests. Great location that is close to shopping, restaurants, and public transportation. Overall a wonderful stay!

It looks like an old school downtown hotel...and maybe even feels a bit old when you walk in, but the service is amazing and the rooms are newly remodeled and the location couldn't be better.

This is a quiet boutique hotel that doesn’t have all the amenities of a larger hotel but due to its location that is convenient to food & shopping the fact that it’s quiet “low key” is a bonus. I love the lobby area, free cookies & coffee & small bar area. It’s exactly what I need when I’m in the city.

The property has an unbeatable location, within 3-5 minutes from the Santa Monica Pier. However the hotel is small and at least my room was very small, especially the bathroom. The staff was helpful.

The room doesn’t have AC and we got the top floor - very hot. Even with fans on and the window open. The room and bathroom were good. The bed was comfortable. The best thing is how close it is to Union Square and all the shopping. If you come here get a bottom floor, heat rises.

Highly Recommend this Historic Hotel
This hotel is wonderful; great location, clean, friendly staff. The only downside was the elevators are a bit slow and small, but considering this is a historic hotel expanding the elevators would be difficult. I’m glad the hotel owners has kept its original ambiance.

Hotel has excellent service. It definitely qualifies as a historic hotel with interesting features which are a plus or minus depending on how you view it. I think they are interesting and worth the slight inconvenience over modern amenities. Also, the water pressure is way better than most modern hotels. No fault of the hotel, but it was quite noisy due to strikes at a nearby hotel.
