The rooftop pool was often overcrowded and not as relaxing as I had hoped, and the waitlist situation was frustrating. Overall, it was a decent experience but not without its issues.

My stay at Santa Monica Proper was overall quite enjoyable, with standout design and a comfortable atmosphere. I loved the attention to detail in the room and the beautiful aesthetics throughout the hotel. However, I felt that some of the service could be warmer, which was a bit disappointing given the overall high-end vibe. I highly recommend the rooftop pool for relaxation, but it can get crowded in the evenings.
