Review Detail

Santa Monica Days Inn Hotel at 3007 Santa Monica Blvd. – approximately $80 per night plus tax (with our AAA discount) for an "accessible" double. This is a small, modern hotel room with fridge, TV, air conditioning and adequate room to maneuver, but the bathroom was hopeless. Although the bathroom had a wide door, there was very little maneuvering room to reach the toilet or tub without assistance. There was no grab rail by the toilet, and the grab rail in the tub was placed in the far corner and almost seemed like an afterthought. No handheld shower or shower chair was available. I borrowed a deck chair for the shower. The sun deck, sauna, and exercise equipment on the top floor were accessible. On the plus side, Santa Monica is a lively part of the L.A. area, and our hotel was only a short drive to the Santa Monica Pier and the Promenade.
