Great location close to all the action in Santa Monica. One interaction with a staff member named Ramon was disappointing. I was called down to reception after 830 at night on the third night of our stay as they wanted to put a further lean on my card which had been declined. I showed him some online articles which clearly showed that our internet banking had been offline for 4 days and therefore could not transfer funds. He showed no empathy for the stress this would cause a family travelling with young children and was not apologetic for making us come down to reception in the evening. He told me more money would need to be taken from the card if I intended for I eat at the hotel again. Therefore we did not eat at the hotel again and chose to eat at nearby restaurants. This situation could have been handled with empathy and understanding. I have also never stayed at another hotel that requires guests to be $50 ahead on their card and takes further money off your card throughout the stay at random times. They seem very concerned that guests will leave without paying their bill to the determine of providing friendly service.

My issue is that this does not feel like a 4 star hotel. This is a 2 star in a good location, albeit with a good hospitality playbook for the staff. The rooms are small and oddly designed. (WHY a glass wall in the bathroom? WHY? WHY two phones to clutter up scarce counter space? WHY a locked minibar permanently installed but a fridge that gets brought in only on demand??) The beds/pillows are terrible. Again, 2 star quality. The hotel was also under construction, making it unpleasant. The front desk staff has been trained in helpfulness, undeniably - however, as i was checking in, both clerks on duty were so engaged in explaining to one guest where she could find dinner that neither of them greeted me for several minutes. Also, hospitality clearly has limits - when we tried to sit down at the outdoor eating space to have our Starbucks coffee, we were immediately told to leave (even though the place was empty). It's a great location. But that alone is not worth the money. We could have stayed at a far more comfortable chain (Hyatt, Hilton) for the same (or slightly lower) cost. A friendly desk staff does not make up for a lumpy bed.

Nice pool area, great location. The Nespresso coffee makers in the rooms need to be replaced with a Keurig or some other that works. The second time I've tried to use them. Very finicky, half the time the machine swallows the coffee pod and spits out only hot water.

Good location but that’s about it.
Location is good. However, hotel itself needs some TLC. Lobby is under construction and looks run down. Room itself looked dated, and lighting was horrible. Zero water pressure. Felt like it was just water trickling and shower looked dirty. Beds are not very comfortable. Close to lots of restaurants and walking distance to the ocean, etc.
