Anyone been to the Hotel California in LA? Is is worth the price I was quoted ($219 for queen standard, continental breakfast, no free parking, private beach access)?
Thanks,

There's no private beach in California.

Are you talking about the hotel in Santa Monica?

Yes. Santa Monica. I didn't mean private beach. I meant private path to beach or something they mentioned...

No, I would say it is definitely not worth that price. You're paying for the location only. The hotel itself is old and funky, no updating/upgrades for quite a few years. Cal Mar Suites and Bayview Hotel are two budget-minded places in Santa Monica, usually get good reviews but again you are paying for the location near the beach. If the rates are similar to Hotel California's it is a toss-up, but don't expect much in Santa Monica in summer time for $200., unfortunately.
