    Awesome 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.

    Suite 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.

    Lovely hotel in a great location. The staff were really friendly and the pool was lovely. There is a great rooftop bar with amazing views

    An 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.

    Ask for an ocean view and make sure you head up to the rooftop bar at sunset - stunning

    Rooftop or poolside- convenient location for drinks in downtown Santa Monica.

    Relaxing, roomy, recently renovated guestrooms pick up on the building's maritime motif — without going overboard.
