Top Original Muscle Beach Hotel Reviews

Hilton Santa Monica Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, just a 7 min walk to the pier. Hotel was clean, staff were helpful, gym was great and beds were comfy! We’d happily return and recommend."

The Pierside Santa Monica

8/10 Good

"The hotel location is excellent, close to the Santa Monica Pier, beach & the 3rd Street Promenade. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Staff in the restaurant for breakfast were very friendly and kind. For parking, there are several options nearby, including one across the road, while we used the Civic Centre Parking Structure nearby. We did message the hotel both before and after the trip on queries, but no-one replied, although they like sending automated messages to you. Overall, good."

The Georgian, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with a great location. Staff was very helpful. I only got to stay one night. I booked a basic room due to the location and the fact that it was a work trip. One of the nicest rooms was available and the gentleman at the front desk asked if I'd like to upgrade. I accepted the offer and ended up staying in a great room with an ocean view. Honestly wish I could've stayed another day to enjoy the dining options. I will recommend to other friends. Thank you guys for a memorable trip in Santa Monica!"

Regent Santa Monica Beach by IHG

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel. We would stay there again. Great beach access. Very walkable with access to transit. The staff is kind. The room is beautiful and large, and pretty quiet despite the lobby having loud music and a bar right out in the open. You could sometimes hear the bass thumping through the wall so they should maybe turn that down. But it wasn’t super noticeable. The only real reason I gave 4 stars is because on one of the days (I think Saturday) we left the room for like 6 hours early in the day and had the service light on. We came back and the room was not clean. We turned it off and hung out for a bit, and then went out again and turned the service light on again. Came home after dinner and the room had never been cleaned or turned down. It was only the one time, and it’s maybe a little picky to complain about it, but for an expensive 5 star hotel, it’s part of the service you expect."

Bayside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Este hotel es de mis favoritos muy limpio huele bien buena atención todo muy elegante y no se diga la recámara de lo mejor si regreso para la próxima"

Ocean Lodge Santa Monica Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Close to the beach and the rooms were newly renovated. I thought there was coffee service in the room but there was not. Only in the office which was closed in the morning. No meals available. Office lady was friendly. Parking was extremely limited and very expensive, only 1 handicap spot off the premises. Price was reasonable for high season at the beach."

Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica

8/10 Good

"Rooms were clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly and the location is excellent."

Hotel Carmel

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Casa Del Mar

10/10 Excellent
