Wow - what a fabulous hotel! We loved our stay at this beautiful, historic boutique-style hotel. The rooms are large with comfortable bed and so much space. Such a charming, quiet, leafy neighborhood - we slept soundly. The main lounge area is warm and cosy with its beautiful 1930s fireplace (with a real fire lit in cooler months), leather couches, a many books to borrow along with 3 booths along the side and a long, wooden table where you can bring your laptop and do your work or meet friends. The outdoor front garden is beautifully designed and maintained and there's a separate, well-kept outdoor courtyard garden to also enjoy. Added to this are free to use bicycles if you want to cycle to the many nearby cafes or take a ride along the paved beach path past the Santa Monica pier and over to Venice Beach. We'll definitely return to this wonderful hotel!
