Top Original Muscle Beach Hotel Reviews

Ocean View Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great location, close to everything. Whitney was who helped us the most at the front desk and she was amazing. So sweet and helpful and nice and just all around made it a great experience. Will be back for sure"

The Pierside Santa Monica

8/10 Good

"The property was comfortable, clean and nicely located. Staff was friendly, but mandatory valet was time consuming and a bit chaotic. We had an ocean view, but had to stand in a specific corner in order to catch a glimpse. Our main view was of the freeway and park. Hotel has beach chairs, boogie boards, and surf boards guests can use. The beach is a bit of a walk and the notion of carrying anything so big or heavy was prohibitive. Bedding was comfortable and we slept well. Easy access to pier, shopping and restaurants."

Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"Second time here in 6 months. Even got the same room. Breakfast is boring but exactly what you need to start your day for free. We had no issues with Breakfast. Our room floor was mopped lazily , but we always bring shoes to wear in any hotel. Yes the homeless are everywhere in Santa Monica, we bought sandwiches to hand out, every one of them said Thank you! The homeless keep to them selves, and are not scary. Another great trip to Santa Monica!"

Fairmont Miramar Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was a nice boutique style environment with nice nighttime entertainment. No Ice machines in the building and it needed to be ordered to the room which was just another thing to top for. Hotel is far from beachfront property. Beach is across a street, down a large embankment, and across a major highway to walk to. About a 15 minute walk. $50 per day resort fee is absurd considering the pool area is the only thing we used and couldn’t even get a lounge chair. Hotel staff was friendly however restaurant staff was a touch arrogant. However Pool, front desk and front door staff were great. Overall nice hotel but If you’re looking for a relaxing beachfront vacation this probably isn’t for you."

Hilton Santa Monica Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"I thought there was a problem with the A/C turns out there was no problem, but a mechanic was sent up right away at 9:30 PM I was impressed"

Sea Blue Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Awsome welcoming experience! Thanks to the incredible staff.members."

Viceroy Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"loved this hotel, love how they are also so dog friendly and the location. Only downfall was pretty sure the valet hit something in our car as there was a dent with we left but couldnt prove anything. I sitll would stay there again ."

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Monica

8/10 Good

"Great location!!!"

Sandbourne Santa Monica, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The entire staff was proactive and polite."
