I chose this hotel because it was near to the airport and my overseas office. Essentially, this is a basic hotel with basic services, and would serve one well if he/ she is not looking for anything extra.
The room is of a decent size, and the bed is comfortable. There is free internet service in the room which is a plus. There is no microwave, and do bring along your own toiletries as the hotel provides only provides very basic amenities.
The location is far from attractions, and would likely not be a good place to stay if you are planning a leisure trip. That said, the hotel does try to make up for it by providing a free shuttle service to the airport. You can also request for them to drop you off at the bus terminal, where you can then take buses to Santa Monica and the town areas. Do note that if you are coming from the airport, you need to call the hotel to send the bus to pick you up. The shuttle runs every half hour, but may not stop at each terminal.
There is a 7-eleven, a Sizzler and some small shops next to the hotel. But other than that, there is nothing much around the area. If you are travelling alone, do note that the hotel area can be quite quiet at night.
The breakfast is basic with few choices. The service level at the hotel is only adequate, nothing to write home about.
Overall, a good value hotel if you are not looking for extras and if you are willing to put up with the location.
