Paige CMarch 28, 2017Beautiful hotel and wonderful rooms but the walls are paper thin and you can hear EVERYTHING! Also, the staff was not too helpful with any issue presented to them.

Perfect for an upscale hotel stay, and be sure to go for a drink at the Penthouse at sunset. Brilliant view and great selection of drinks.- LauraJuly 12, 2014The penthouse is a must - you might encounter a little snootiness but the view and quality of food and cocktails more than makes up for it.
The valet is overwhelmed at dinner time, so if you are just coming here to eat park nearby and walk.
RanaJuly 18, 2022Loved this hotel perfect location . The staffs were very friendly and nice especially Mr.jdiaz
The concierge will help you get tickets to just about anything. The location and ambiance truly make it a "haven by the sea'.
Jinnie LOctober 16, 2014get the Malibu suite (ocean view) room, the view is absolutely breathtaking :) and definitely check the penthouse restaurant!
Lianne StokesOctober 30, 2014An unbeatable Happy Hour with sex-on-legs short rib tacos and rosé but could none of you tell me my post beach mascara had given me raccoon eyes. No 'extra' work for you!
LAINEAugust 22, 2018Penthouse bar....Cool vibes. Contemporary interior. Great views. Photo-booth fun. 😆
APAMay 29, 2018Modern hotel, good location but staff attitude is a problem. Their parking option is 46$, when you ask about public parking nearby they pretend to be stupid and won‘t tell there is one in 300m (17.5$)
Alison KershawMay 14, 2013Lovely ladies at the front door discussing their territory, will probably give you a better helping hand than the unsmiling ladies on the front desk.
Hein van der WielenApril 8, 2012Great view of Santa Monica from 19th floor. Open for breakfast/lunch etc but looking at lines last night a popular clubbing venue too.
- The smell of gardenia blossoms float thru the halls, and the upscale rooms provide a mid-century flair meets 21st Century style.
Brendan GerrityJanuary 29, 2015Great hotel. Sign up for their rewards program and get a free bottle of house red wine
Nadim B👀May 21, 2011The two most important peeps to ask for and tell them I said so is RONNIE the Manager & MEETCH the Head Chef. I love these guys & so will you.
Emily MoffittJanuary 30, 2011UNparalleled service and 'family' feel, which was is a surprise for a modern hotel in Santa Monica. Smaller rooms, but well worth the price.
Gift shop brings Fifth Avenue style to LA cool. Great place to pickup quirky items
Linda WagabazaJune 22, 2010Good views in the Penthouse restaurant and bar filled with the cool and poshe; it's well decorated but small. Ropes to seperate Restaurant patrons and bar attendies!
Christian C.February 16, 2013The view from the men's bathroom (handicapped stall) ... By itself it's almost worth the price of admission... :)
Hotel TonightJuly 1, 2011Sophisticated top-floor bar, a magnet for bon vivants, showcases the skyline on one side and beach on the other.
Rooftop bar on weekdays. Go for the magic hour. Nice rooms. Thin walls. Delicious views.
- Best views: above 14th floor and on north side of building!
Bianca GonzalezAugust 9, 2014a mature crowd - cougars on the prowl and the stench of marital boredom permeates the air
ashley roeberAugust 4, 2010Ask for floors 14 and above for the best view. Yogurt with granola and berries is fantastic for breakfast.
Make sure to check out the Penthouse - views like this one!
Devran MustafogluNovember 5, 2010glass of vino, rock shrimp tempura, tacos, & sliders are the best happy hour things to order!
- Sarah Ann-Marie ThomsonApril 30, 2011Ask for a table in the window on the Malibu side ... Amazing view
