Top Original Muscle Beach Hotel Reviews

Ocean Lodge Santa Monica Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Cute old style beach hotel. Was nice to have 3 beds for a family of 4. It was fairly warm while we were in town and the A/C is only in the main room. So, you can't sleep with the bedroom door closed because you would get no air. Most of the time, this is probably not an issue. Just be aware. Would recommend"

Ocean View Hotel

8/10 Good

"Recommend booking a room with the ocean/ Santa Monica Pier in sight. The rooms are not stellar but they’re a place to sleep. Beds and decor could be updated but the shower actually had hot water on demand. Staff and services were great. Location and walking distances with ride services; car, electric scooters/ bikes was peak. I’d come back in a heartbeat."

The Pierside Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was overall excellent! The room was clean and comfortable, very spacious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, always looking out to make sure we were comfortable."

Casa Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful service, beautiful hotel, perfect location. Note: ask the front desk about the food and beverage credit! I learned only at checkout that it applies only to breakfast!"

Shore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous room in an excellent spot with a balcony and fantastic view of the beach. Staff were lovely. Only minor issue was the volume of the DJ set on the Sat afternoon - I'm not anti loud music at all but we'd been out in the sun all morning and just fancied a chill by the pool for a while, but it was nightclub level loud (i.e. you couldn't talk to one another). Just wish someone had mentioned it to us on arrival when they saw we were travelling with kids so we could have planned around it."

Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 4 found this to be the perfect place to stay. Reasonable price, 3 blocks to the Santa Monica Pier/beach, tons of bars and restaurants within walking distance. Metro is right across the street. Hotel was clean and quiet. Rooms were very nice. Free breakfast was so convenient with the standard fare - waffle machine, eggs, sausage and breakfast potatoes, various cereals, oatmeal, pastries and breads/bagels for toasting. We would definitely stay here again."

Bayside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing! So friendly and helpful with our sightseeing. The rooms were also very clean, and we didn't ever hear our neighbours or anything like that. Loved this place!"

Hotel Carmel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The room was spotless and smelled nice. Its an older building but they maintain it well. Its in the middle of everything so resturants, shopping and the beach were a few minutes walk in every direction. Very convenient! Will definitly stay again in the future!"

Sea Blue Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location."
