Great place to stay @ the beach
Has anyone stayed here? What did you think?
After staying a few times over the past year or two, this place rocks!
Close to everything in Santa Monica, great for obligatory 'star sightings,' great service and classy accomodations (a co-worker raves about the thread-count of the sheets and claims she will stay @ LM even when she has to commute to the OC).
Possible potential negative - although it's within walking distance for most of the shopping and dining you might desire in Santa Monica, there is enough of a transient contingent that may make it less desirable if you go for leisure travel w/ family (but, then again, probably challenging to completely avoid in LA county...)
