Top Original Muscle Beach Hotel Reviews

Viceroy Santa Monica

8/10 Good

"The hotel is stunningly beautiful, spotlessly clean, and conveniently located near the beach. The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to assist guests. It’s just a short walk to the promenade, where you can find a variety of bars and restaurants. I would definitely stay there again."

Shore Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was nice, and the beds were very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the balcony during sunset, which was absolutely beautiful. The pool was a little small but a good size for kids, and the hot tub was very nice and maintained a comfortable temperature. The hotel is also conveniently located within a short walking distance of the pier and beach. However, the parking experience was disappointing. The parking attendant told us that daily parking was available for $20 without in-and-out privileges, but when we checked with the front desk, we were told that the only available option was $65 per day with in-and-out privileges. The front desk staff did not seem willing to help resolve the confusion, which was frustrating and misleading. Fortunately, there were several public parking garages nearby, so we ended up parking at one of them instead. Other than the parking issue and the lack of assistance from the front desk, we enjoyed our stay at the hotel."

Sandbourne Santa Monica, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. We are a family of 4 and stayed for only one night, but enjoyed ourselves so much. The location is incredible. The rooms and decor and staff are impeccable. The pool is small but enough, you just have to hit it at the right time with the sun overhead as it does get shady, which in the warmer months would be welcomed but it was October and a bit cooler. The beach is very close. Borrow bikes and go for a cruise. 10/10."
