Light rail stations and hotels used travel trailer parts are not an uncommon partnership. In neighboring Los Angeles, a few of Metro's rail lines have stops adjacent to hotels such as The W in Hollywood used travel trailer parts and The Standard in downtown Los Angeles. In Santa Monica, two hotels will soon be located across from the Expo Line terminus as council members unanimously approved Tuesday the development of a Courtyard by Marriott and Hampton used travel trailer parts Inn by Hilton.
Both hotels used travel trailer parts will be located used travel trailer parts near the intersection of Fifth and Colorado used travel trailer parts – just one block east of the Expo Line's terminus station. Also within walking distance of both hotels used travel trailer parts would be the Civic Center, Third Street Promenade, Ken Genser Park, Tongva Park, and the Santa Monica Pier.
The City Council's approval of the two separate development agreements (DA) came on the heels of OTO Development coming to terms with the union Unite Here Local 11 to pay workers at least $15.37 per hour. Accordingly, each property will be a union hotel.
The developer must also contribute about $600,000 toward the Colorado Esplanade, achieve LEED Gold certification for the project, create a Transportation Demand Management program aimed at reducing parking demand and vehicular trips in the area, install solar energy systems, and adopt water conservation measures.

I normally am not in favor of development, however, there needs to be mid-priced hotel rooms for visitors near the light rail terminal. On these particular hotels I have no opinion because I have not studied the projects.
Once again, City policy is determined by low-wage (yes, $14.08/$15.37 per hour is low-wage, and not a living wage for Santa Monica) workers from out of town, and tourists, and what is easy or convenient for them. Forget about the citizens that would like to live close to the Expo- they don't count.
