Top Original Muscle Beach Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"CT sa see CT CT c s Rest assured added"

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."

Viceroy Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"My weeklong stay at the Viceroy was terrific, mainly thanks to the friendly attentive staff. At the front desk, Ben and a woman whose name may have been Edith (I should have written it down!) were particularly determined to make sure I had a simple relaxing time. Several of the valets were also unusually warm and helpful as well. For me, the only weak spot in the service was a fellow named Chris, who, when I said I couldn't get through to room service, seemed impatient, then sent room service an email and apparently never followed up. Eventually I went down to the lobby and Ben sorted it all out. The food was great, as was the one drink I had in the bar. Even though the hotel is right on Ocean Ave, my room was quiet -- and very comfortable! A great hotel within easy walking distance of the beach and the 3rd St. Promenade."

Fairmont Miramar Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you to all the team especially Mateo ! I had a wonderful stay :)"

Hotel Carmel

10/10 Excellent

"Very cute hotel in a fantastic location. There were lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance and it was also an easy walk to the Santa Monica Pier. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the rooms were clean and cozy. I do think I should mention that our room (2 double beds) was a bit smaller than a double room you'd get at a standard hotel, However, it didn't bother us at all...just wanted to point it out in case you like something roomier. Loved this hotel and would definitely stay there again."

Shutters on the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful property right on the beach. Wonderful pool deck. All the staff were very nice and helpful. Rooms were well appointed, comfortable and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend. We also enjoyed the bicycles that were available and went for rides to Venice Beach and Santa Monica Pier."

Shore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Shore Hotel exceeds my expectations! The staff was so friendly, helpful and went out of their way to make our staff incredible. The location is phenomenal! The restaurant on property was delicious too"
