- JennNovember 16, 2011Awesome boutique hotel on Ocean Drive in Santa Monica. A great place to relax. Recommend the RNR suite on the 7th floor - an amazing view of the ocean and Santa Monica pier. Awesome service, too.
Sarah BirdDecember 4, 2012Suite is large and stylish, although not a good layout for kids because the bathroom and bedroom are joined. We're enjoying the service, but shocked that they don't provide coffee or tea in your room.
Jennifer CarterMarch 26, 2016Lovely hotel in a great location. The staff were really friendly and the pool was lovely. There is a great rooftop bar with amazing views
Peter BourgonDecember 19, 2017An aging hotel with scammy extra charges (“resort fee”?!) and frustrating, obsequious staff. They protect the rooftop bar like it’s a crown jewel, but it’s full of dull people and dirty glassware.- Coco WebsterNovember 6, 2014This place has a great penthouse bar the inside is funky in a great way and the outside has an amazing view of the ocean and the Malibu cliffs
Ana LadygazpachoFebruary 6, 2015Hang out at afternoon with a white wine. Try the fish tacos and the fries!
Debbie SpenceJanuary 16, 2015Ask for an ocean view and make sure you head up to the rooftop bar at sunset - stunning
Hessao_August 2, 2015Excellent location .. Rooms are emh not that much, we moved after 3 days!! The service was great though.
Meg FarmerJanuary 18, 2015Rooftop or poolside- convenient location for drinks in downtown Santa Monica.
Hotel TonightNovember 23, 2011Relaxing, roomy, recently renovated guestrooms pick up on the building's maritime motif — without going overboard.
KCRWMay 9, 2012Come back May 19 at 5pm and hang with KCRW Friends and Family! We're bringing the crew from our new storytelling podcast, STRANGERS over for a Happy Hour.
Arlo RosnerApril 24, 2010Eat in the Dining Room and try the gnocchi. Chef Dakota Weiss is creating dishes that are out of this world!

Bonnie SpencerFebruary 15, 2010Pool drinks...early in the day to catch sun. Cabana and hot tub by night.

"Great views of the pier and sunset. Get a mojito while taking in the scenery, it's refreshing & potent. The yellowtail ceviche has great flavor, but the portions are disappointingly small."
