Sunlight streams through the glass-enclosed atrium and spills over a patiolike sitting area in the lobby. One- and two-bedroom soundproofed suites include a separate living room with a large desk, wet bar, and sofa bed; microwaves and refrigerators are available upon request. Just off the busy Santa Monica Freeway (I-10), the hotel is within walking distance of the Third Street Promenade, beaches, and the pier. Pros: spacious suites appeal to families as do many diversions nearby, on the Tide Shuttle route. Cons: somewhat dated decor.
