Santa Monica hotellia

Plussat: vintage style , very confortable ! staff is very profesional .

Miinukset: Vintage style , a little bit noisy ( shower of the neightbout was hearable)

Plussat: The staff were great as usual and helpful at all times.

Plussat: The staff was very helpful The common areas were comfortable The cookies at welcoming

Miinukset: The very small room & small grounds. The breakfast average & the appetizers appeared to be from Costco.

Plussat: Loved this hotel. All the staff were delightful and helpful. The breakfasts were excellent with lots of home baked goods and the beds extremely comfortable.

Plussat: The staff were so friendly and helpful. Really nice touches with home made baking and music on.

Miinukset: Nothing really but it is a fair walk along to central Santa Monica and the pier.

Plussat: Such a lovely Inn. Wonderful hospitality, beautifully designed. Very nice breakfast .

Miinukset: would love to have fresh eggs for breakfast instead of hard boiled..

Plussat: Very nice, and very accommodating for an early check-in.

Plussat: Bonus the free breaky and chauffeur service

Miinukset: Little far to walk to beach although chauffeur made up for this

Miinukset: The breakfast buffet is lausi

Plussat: Very good continental breakfast but more convenient seating is needed.

Miinukset: A few blocks closer to central Santa Monica would be optimal but there's not a lot the current hotel can do about that!

Plussat: Beautiful hotel in a quiet neighborhood. Very nice and cozy room. Good complimentary breakfast and happy hour beverages. Wonderful friendly staff.

Miinukset: Bathroom safety matts for the shower/tub would be a nice improvement. Otherwise all was great!

Plussat: My parents loved it. I will use this hotel any time.

Miinukset: Nothing to note.

Plussat: Excellent and generous breakfast. Staff were extremely helpful and ready to assist whenever asked.

Miinukset: Locks on bathroom doors would be good.

Plussat: Staff were extremely friendly and very helpful

Miinukset: No pool

Plussat: Everything was amazing staff exceptional

Plussat: Tesla charger

Miinukset: Charged for free breakfast which I did not have.

Plussat: Everything.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: This hotel is in a quiet area. The included breakfast is good. All of the staff was friendly and helpful. This was our second stay there.

Miinukset: The bed pillows were sooo soft that we had to buy some to sleep better on our second night there.

Miinukset: This hotel did several billing mistakes which cost me hundreds of extra dollars. They charged a wrong card which they explicitly told me would only be used for pre authorization. Then they made a billing mistake at my checkout, and over charged me without my knowledge after I left the hotel using the pre authorization amount. I ended up paying hundreds of dollars more versus the rate on booking.com and I am still unable to get reimbursed despite several phone calls and emails for the past week. Unprofessional staff!

Plussat: Loved beds and comfort level of the room.

Miinukset: It was an ocean view king room. You could only see the ocean from the window. I was expecting more.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: More hanging space in bathroom so towel can be reused and elimination of small plastic bottles helping the make the more ecologically aware

Plussat: Good bed

Miinukset: Toilet blocked 3 time’s and noise from renovations which we had no knowledge when booking

Plussat: This was an elegant hotel with wonderful service and perfectly located.

Plussat: Well- appointed room, good location, nice staff

Miinukset: resort fee was charged, but hotel does not have any resort amenities - no pool, spa, outdoor space

Plussat: Nice enough, but there was a serious problem with noise and. The staff made no attempt and showed no ability to correct the problem. It was a terrible hotel stay.

Miinukset: On the 17th floor, there's a serious noise problem -- but the staff did nothing to correct the problem and I could not sleep the entire night.

Plussat: Location, cleanness, comfortable bed, friendly staff

Miinukset: My toilet was block when I used it first time; there is no water boiler.

Plussat: The hotel was beautiful in a very convenient location. The staff were extremely helpful. I would absolutely recommend this hotel.

Miinukset: Check in and check out; staff did not / could not properly explain that the hotel will charge an authorised amount at check in and that it would then offset actual costs at check out; if the guest is not clear the process, they should provide explanation in friendly and clear way, instead of giving a blank look like “what are you talking about”. Really unhappy with the staff interface in check in (explained nothing when taking the credit card) and checkout (as if the hotel procedure should be known by guest when nothing was explained!)

Plussat: The location is wonderful on a quiet street a two minute walk to ocean promenade. The hotel has great views of the bay from upper floors. Building itself has an elegance and is discreet. Very comfortable bedrooms and a popular penthouse bar and restaurant.

Miinukset: Nothing. All aspects of hotel very good.

Plussat: Great location and hi tech rooms

Miinukset: Little too pricey

Plussat: Excellent customer service, very clean, sophisticated. Easy walk to beach AND shopping.

Miinukset: Only one elevator was working

Plussat: Gorgeous room, very spacious. The bed was amazing.

Plussat: Beautiful new property, completely renovated in 2019.

Plussat: It’s a beautiful property! Spacious rooms! The staff is excellent. They are very helpful. Made our stay even better!

Miinukset: The Spa is not open yet. I was looking forward to some spa time. Maybe next time. They also had a very noisy elevator, hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Plussat: The location was perfect- overlooking the beach. The suite was stunning in its design and large. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The restaurant was really good

Miinukset: we liked everything

Plussat: Extremely clean, very nice staff and felt like a home from home. We had a suite which faced out into the pool area which my daughter loved. Little touches like having sun cream by the pool were appreciated. The suite was decorated beautifully and had smart thermostats and lighting for each room, controlled by iPads. We arrived around 11am and were allowed to check in which was fab as we’d been travelling for 16 hours and desperate to get cleaned up. Went for a long walk by the beach, on the pier, got some brunch out... saw the beautiful sunset. We were going to eat out but decided to make the most of the great suite and ended up getting takeaway. I’d def go back although it is not cheap!

Miinukset: Minor things - no tea & coffee facilities in room. If you call, they will bring you free tea or coffee but sometimes it’s easier to just do it yourself. The shower took a little while to warm up.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything! I loved this place. Great location, friendly and attentive staff, large room, beautiful decor, beach cruisers. I will be back!

Miinukset: Only complaint was the walls are thin and you can hear neighbors

Plussat: Lokaatio on huippu. Lyhyt matka kaikkialle. Santa Monica ja Venicen ulkoilualueet huippuluokkaa sekä rannat.

Miinukset: Hinta 2:lta noin 800 vrk on hivenen kova hinta. Hinta sisältää yöpymisen, aamiaiset ja pari dinneriä. Tosin olimme paikalla 25.8 eteenpäin, joten huippusesonkien loppu oli meneillään.

Plussat: An excellent location with friendly, helpful staff and great facilities.

Plussat: Erinomainen kokonaisuus. Tasokas kuntosali ja allastilat. Samoin ravintola-tilat ulkona ja sisällä.

Plussat: Tyylikäs ,siisti ja huikea sijainti lähellä rantaa.Hyvä kuntosali,saunat ja allasalue varsin mukava.Kuntosalin ja palvelupisteen henkilökunta erittäin ystävällistä.

Miinukset: Vastaanoton henkilö kunta varsin ynseää ja tylyä.Laski koko hotellin arvosanaa selkeästi.Tämän tasoisessa hotellissa asenteen pitäisi olla aivan eritasoista, tästä jäi huono maku.

Plussat: Our waiter, Damian, on Saturday was great. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The bed wasn’t very comfortable.

Plussat: Hieno paikka sijainniltaan, aivan rannalla. Siisti huone, skandinaavinen. Kaksi queensize sänkyä johon nelihenkinen perhe mahtui majoittumaan.

Miinukset: Hieman epäystävällinen palvelu vastaanotossa mutta ravintolan henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja ammattitaitoista.

Plussat: Hotellin sijainti näkymät uima-altaalta olivat loistavia.

Miinukset: Uima-altaalle tuli varjo jo aikaisin iltapäiväällä.

Plussat: Comfort, cleanliness, location and extremely helpful staff. I've stayed here twice now, and each time its exactly what youd expect. Amazing. Especially the fire pits.

Miinukset: Nothing not too like.

Plussat: Location on the Beach

Plussat: Great position. Nice facilities and very clean.

Miinukset: Pool was a little small and shallow.

Plussat: Excellent service, beautiful hotel, great location

Miinukset: No

Plussat: I liked everything about the property Very nice staff and the decorations were fun for the holidays.

Miinukset: Parking service is ridiculous! $55 a night, crazy! Also paid a property fee which is always expected but that usually includes parking

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Location location location

Miinukset: Loved everything about it

Plussat: It was the little things, they have attention to detail which won me over.

Miinukset: Whenever I was at the desk there was only one person there, but they were polite and helpful.

Plussat: Location is great though not right on the beach—one block away. Staff was great and tried hard to please.

Miinukset: Entire hotel needs serious updating. Renovation long overdue. Position of pool limits ability to get sun (blocked by buildings).

Plussat: Comfort, location

Miinukset: $150 pet fee +tax

Plussat: The service. Staff went out of their way to please

Miinukset: Slightly dated rooms and building

Plussat: Location was perfect!

Miinukset: I was on a floor with some remodeling going on.

Plussat: Sijainti oli erinomainen. Hotellilta sain lainaan rantavarusteita (tuoleja, rantavarjoja, pyyhkeitä ja lapille uimaleluja). Aamiainen oli monipuolinen (ja kallis. Huoneen hintaan kuuluu aamiainen vain kahdelle, vaikka huoneessa yöpyy 4hlö).

Miinukset: Varattua huonetta ei saanut (sanoivat suoraan antaneensa sen toisille asiakkaille). Yrittivät tarjota tilalle paljon huonompia huoneita ilman parveketta ja merinäkymää, joiden takia olimme huoneen varanneet. Lopulta saimme huoneen parvekkeella ja merinäköalalla, mutta lapset joutuivat nukkumaan vuodesohvassa ja saimme huoneen vasta noin klo 18. Valet parking ei toiminut. Ensimmäisenä iltana toivat meille jonkun toisen auton ja seuraavana iltana, kun saavuimme taxilla hotellille, oli meidän auto hotellin edessä ovet auki ja meille kerrottiin, että respasta oli soitettu ja käsketty tuoda auto ulos. Kukaan ei tiennyt kenelle auto oli tuotu ja kauanko se oli ollut hotellin edessä lukitsemattomana. Näitä hyviteltiin naurettavan pienellä hinnan alennuksella.

Plussat: Location was excellent.

Miinukset: We were put on the 3rd floor which was under a complete construction remodel. We were extremely tired from several days of travel and was looking forward to sleeping in. At 7 am, we were woken by very loud workers with power tools and sanding .

Plussat:  

Miinukset:  

Plussat: Was downgraded from a room with a king bed upon arrival to a room with twin beds bc they were oversold, and they said bc I booked through booking.com I had no other options.

Miinukset: Customer service and overall experience, room service order was wrong and hotel was oversold.

Miinukset: There was a weird smell, akin to a cheap casino, throughout the hotel for the duration of our stay. Other than that it was fine.

Plussat: location

Miinukset: Charged non-optional $25 + tax per night "destination fee" upon arrival that supposedly included basic things a 4 star hotel would include (coffee in lobby, terrible welcome drink, etc.)... felt like Frontier Airlines. Won't say there again.

Plussat: Perfect location right by the pier Great staff Erick was really helpful

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Where it was located.

Miinukset: Everything except it's location. The room was dirty, the coffee maker was broken, there was food under the bed from other guests who stayed there before us.

Plussat: Ocean Front Location is the only reason to stay here. So many better luxury options in SMO for less $$$$. This is the classic model of cool looking design hotel with limited practical forethought in terms of layout, amenities or service.

Miinukset: Rate+destination fee+ $45 guest parking=outrageous. "Bar" was a bad afterthought 80's banquet room. To get to my room I had to lug my bags down a hall, up an elevator, across a bridge, down an elevator to a weird hall next to corporate offices. Bad form.

Plussat: The location to the pier was ideal.

Miinukset: The parking was very inconvenient and expensive. The hotel did not have crib sheets when offering infant cribs. My child had to sleep on a plastic mat without sheets No welcome drink as advertised Lots of homeless people Protestors about hotel outsid

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Little convenient store was never open. Price is a little high.

Plussat: Modern and close to shopping, dining, and the Pier.

Plussat: Great balcony

Plussat: Sijainti hyvä.

Miinukset: Late check-out ei ollut mahdollinen.

Plussat: Excellent service! Friendly professional staff. Super clean , hip and fantastic location!

Plussat: Shore Hotel offers some nice touches - amenities like free coffee/water in the lobby, free bike rentals for the beach, and free ride passes for the pier. Loved the stuffed octopus as hotel mascot!

Miinukset: Not much - this hotel was top notch and its proximity to the beach/ocean is impressive.

Plussat: Super clean and rooms updated. Very nice location

Miinukset: Not the hotel's fault but they had to have security for everything as Santa Monica has a lot of indigent people roaming the streets.

Plussat: great location. great vibe. really like the little bar/coffee area. nice common area. bike rentals available. close walk to downtown Santa Monica

Miinukset: I really have no beef what so ever. staff was great. possibly better valet parking as Santa Monica parking is terrible. maybe they could have a shuttle service

Plussat: The decor and old vintage feel of the place is amazing. But everything is modern and clean. We couldnt believe how nice it is and it feels hidden in the middle of Santa Monica. My gf said its literally the best hotel she has ever stayed in and she has traveled the world extensively.

Plussat: Loved the staff so friendly and the room was amazing. Great breakfast in a lovely quite part of Santa Monica. 5 minute walk from shops and restaurants.

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: Staff were extremely friendly. Very casual but felt so warm like a family. The room was amazing and quite too. Such a nice stay!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff

Miinukset: Price expensive

Plussat: Amazing location, stunning views, beautiful hotel, and really friendly staff!

Miinukset: For the price, I was hoping for a slightly more luxurious room with a more unique touch but the location and the rest of the hotel made up for it!

Plussat: Loved the location, vibe, bikes and staff

Plussat: The hotel is well located and very beautiful. The staff is friendly. The breakfast was really good!!

Miinukset: The receptionist told us that the room would be ready in 20 mins and that she would text us. We waited for more than one hour. After what I went to the reception to ask about the room, which was of course ready but nobody told us. Also the room was not clean. I found hairs in the bath....

Plussat: The view from the room

Miinukset: Food is too over price, also got over charged for the room

Plussat: The general energy and presentation of the entre where a gigantic beautiful 150 year old tree holds space, the valet crew, the concierge, the lobby and bar, and the gym.

Miinukset: It's a really old building under the surface. I was surprised the electricity had no dimming, the heating was noisy as in the 70's... The neglecting of staff to attend to repairing my room where the vents were simply broken, was no less than bad.

Plussat: Loved the grounds of the hotel. There is a beautiful huge very old tree as soon as you enter it’s 140 years old. There is a great workout spot with yoga classes good food and drinks . Room was very comfortable. Amazing view right on the ocean. Walking distance to everywhere in Santa Monica.

Plussat: Well located position in SantaMonica. The staff were always very attentive.

Miinukset: There was no help when i lost my glasses in the lobby, i talked to them and no body cared. The facilities was closed for private events. They charged me more than what booking said.

Plussat: The best hotel I stayed in Santa Monica!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location, pool

Miinukset: False fire alarm, peeling tub, dripping shower, landscapers banging on window in the morning while trimming things, only pay on demand movies and additional fees. For a ---$+ one night stay i wouldn't recommend it or do it again. The staff was lovely thou

Plussat: Location ONLY

Miinukset: old building need renovation housekeeping bad service

Miinukset: Bathroom a bit basic, shower not great

Plussat: Every aspect of this hotel is awesome. I definitely will stay again when I am back in Santa Monica!

Plussat: Location was great, staff were really nice, and the room had a window that opened almost into a balcony.

Miinukset: Everything was under renovations which we weren't told before our stay. This meant the big lobby and whole pool area were closed down. The room was also smaller than the pictures made it look.

Plussat: There was nothing notable either like or dislike, it was simply good all rounder. I would book again.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Location was excellent with lots of restaurant choices just outside the hotel. The Sta. Monica Pier was also just a five minute walk. There is also an abundance of rentable scooters and bikes so there's no problem going around.

Miinukset: Could not think of anything significant. Just the heavy doors that slam everytime a neighbor comes and goes, especially since we are travelling with a baby.

Plussat: The location is good - very close to the beach and restaurants

Miinukset: Horrible customer service - they overcharged me for a number of items, including mini bar purchases that we didn't make, and then 'investigated' while we waited 20 minutes for them to tell us they had no receipts. They never apologized after essentially suggesting we were lying. They rented out the entire pool and outdoor area for a Lincoln car event so guests had zero access to the outdoor pool area, which was a main selling point of this hotel. The carpet in the hallways had duct tape in many places because it was old and ripped. When I initially called to tell them we were checking in late, I had to call back three times because they first transferred me to the wrong person, then put me directly into voicemail. When I finally spoke to reception to confirm they would hold our king bed high floor room, they said they don't guarantee a high floor, which is exactly what we paid for and I told them that was listed on my reservation. After arguing over it, they confirmed I would be on a high floor. Overall, customer service was lacking and you didn't feel at any time that you were a priority - more of an inconvenience for them actually. Not worth the price they charge and definitely not a relaxing experience.

Miinukset: They are doing renovations so most of the facilities are not available. No pool. And no restaurant

Plussat: The staff was very helpful and the hotel, although small, was very trendy. We travelled with a 1,5 year old ; the hotel provided the crib and shampoo etc when told ahead of time.

Miinukset: The hotel is 1 street away from the beach. Even if they sell the sea view rooms quite expensive you only get small partial view of the ocean from the 5th fl ( out of 6 floors). There is no onsite parking; only valet parking for 55$+ tax per day. The hotel restaurant eventhough it looks great from the pics and menu it actually is one step away from a beach side hamburger place. We stayed at a ocean view suite because in the pictures it actually looks like a suite. But in reality it is just a small room that is 1 sq meter larger than a standard room wirh a sofa., the pictures are quite misleading.

Miinukset: Yes I asked for a cup of hot tea. They charged me $6 for it. I was paying $-- A night. Also, I asked for ice they never brought it for me. Very disappointing.

Plussat: Couldn’t beat the location to Main Street , 3rd street and Venice all walking distance and we also took the birds. Service was great we didn’t eat at the hotel but had drinks across the street at shutters and. Casa Del Mar .

Miinukset: Room service was slow didn’t have our rooms cleaned until 3 pm one day and we had to call .

Plussat: Rooms are well thought out.

Miinukset: I wish that the cafe in the lobby would have more options.

Plussat: Very quiet and well appointed rooms. Nice pool area.

Miinukset: Difficult to get staff help after late arrival. Surcharge for 'coffee service' seems lame given hotel class.

Plussat: Great location and really nice room.

Miinukset: Water pressure in the shower was a trickle and the refrigerator didn’t cool items.

Plussat: Siistit huoneet ja hyvä sijainti Santa Monicassa.

Miinukset: Aamupala ei ollut kummoinen, joka nautittiin kertakäyttöastioista.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: We stayed only one night here and were quite disappointed. - Breakfast was very poor - unless you like colorful cheerios, tasteless eggs and a variety of unhealthy foods - Poor water pressure in the shower - Thin walls - you can hear noise from other rooms and hallway - Only valet parking is offered at high price - you can park one block away in the parking garage for half price. Regardless of price, I prefer to park my car by myself and have it available at all times without having to give keys/tip/speak to strangers every time I want to drive. - On the other hand, if you are into valet parking you will probably not appreciate empty mini bar in the room. - Overall, hotel looks cheap and cold - without any taste, yet very expensive. - Entrance glass doors need to be opened with a card that you use to open your room because this "wanna be luxury" area is also filled with homeless people. Very sad and very overpriced. Hotel management, please do not respond with some generic "thank you" response.

Plussat: Stunning hotel in prime location. The rooms are gorgeous and incredibly spacious, as are the bathrooms. Super friendly staff who were always willing to help us and give recommendations. Would definitely stay here again!

Plussat: Sijainti oli mahtava, muuten ihan perushotelli.

Miinukset: Pieni hune perheelle.

Plussat: autohalli palvelupelasi todella hyvin. ja oli lähellä respaa. Ystävällisiä nuoria miehiä hoitamassa hommaa täys 10 pistettä

Miinukset: Aamiainen on ala-arvoisin mitä olen näin uudessa hotellissa saanut. Käytännössä munakokkelia ja leipää. tarjolla ei esimerkiksi ole leivän päälle mitään muuta kuin ylähuuli ja tämä on totta. Marmeladia löytyy kyllä jos siitä leivän päällä tykkää Katselin lapsiperheen isää kun se ihmetteli mitä lapsilleen antaisi. Tarjoilija toi jugurttia kun nekin olivat kuulemma hetkellisesti loppu. Banaaneja oli tarjolla. Astiat pääosin pahvisia!!

Plussat: Free breakfast included Rooms were spacious and clean

Miinukset: One of the staff give me an attitude on the very first day of check in, not good first impression for sure No cold water for two days, shower was scolding hot to the point of burning your skin

Plussat: Location was very convenient

Miinukset: Noise from Trains and dumpsters below our window. Not a lot of amenities in the room, no glasses, no Tea, no milk just powdered creamer.

Plussat: Siisti hotelli kävelymatkan päässä rannasta ja kauppakeskuksesta. Aamupala kuului hintaan. Se oli kohtalainen mutta tärkeimmät aamupalan osat löytyivät. Pieni uima-allasalue oli mukava.2x queensize sänkyyn mahtui 4 henkiin perhe nukkumaan.

Plussat: Sijainti Santa Monican alueella hyvä. Expo Line metroyhteys Los Angelesin downtowniin sekä monet bussilinjat mahdollistavat liikkumisen ilman autoa. Ystävällinen henkilökunta. Modernit, tilavat huoneet.

Miinukset: Aamiaisella kertakäyttöastiat ja aterimet. Valikoima aamiaisella ei kovin runsas. Henkilökunnan kertoman mukaan puuro, munakkaat ym. valmistuotteita, jotka vain lämmitetty hotellin keittiössä. Kahvi todella laimeaa.

Plussat: Staff was great.

Miinukset: No microwave or fridge in the room and we had my baby with us. The Staff was great and they brought us a microwave because there was not one in the room.

Plussat: Location and rooms , great breakfast too, checking out at 12

Miinukset: We were on a really busy street , better ask for the rooms looking up the patio/ garage entry Breakfast until 9:30 is a little bit early

Plussat: Great price for the location. Parking garage was free with in and out privileges. It was very clean and well maintained.

Miinukset: The continental breaksfast did not have protein options, it was all carbs.

Plussat: Good quality room/amenities in room for lower price range ... as well as complimentary underground parking with card-key-safe elevator

Miinukset: Inconvenience of no currently available restaurant; it's in renovation mode.

Plussat: Parking and easy check in

Miinukset: Location not walkable to down town. No free breakfast. The recommended breakfast next door An rip off over price and below value breakfast.

Plussat: Good sized rooms / brighter than expected which was good (lots of rooms in USA are low ceiling/dark).

Miinukset: Breakfast facility/restaurant next door too fancy for us but we weren't far from an iHop which we loved! Information on local area/leaflets could be provided - most hotels have the usual leaflet stand.

Plussat: Great Location Quiet Hotel Free Parking

Miinukset: Terrace Door isolation was bad.

Plussat: I arrived at the hotel at about 9am after a 14 hour flight and the receptionist let me check in early - an actual lifesaver. The bed was very comfortable! The location was convenient, about a 30 minute walk to 3rd Street Promenade and the beach.

Miinukset: My room was right at the front of the hotel so there was a lot of noise from reception and the laundry room opposite the room, but I was so jet-lagged that earplugs were enough to help me sleep through it. The bathroom wasn't quite as clean as I would have liked with a couple of hairs in the bath.

Plussat: Staff were friendly. Room was pleasant and clean. We had a king size bed that was very comfortable.

Miinukset: The price was a bit high for a hotel not within walking distance to the beach. Breakfast was not included.

Plussat: Clean room and good location

Miinukset: Breakfast was so so. Coffee was good.

Plussat: Booked this hotel last minute & was very happy with our stay. We were trying to find something closer to Santa Monica Pier for less $$ & family friendly but this worked out perfectly. The bus stop was on the corner so this made getting to the pier easy!

Miinukset: We had a room close to the street so sirens & traffic was loud.

Plussat: Close to hospital

Plussat: Free parking.

Miinukset: The lighting in the room was very poor. It was impossible to read while not in bed. The light on the headboard was great but useless for me. The room was not comfortable or homey.
