Top Santa Monica Visitor Center Hotel Reviews

Hotel Carmel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice facilities. Perfect location! So close to the Santa Monica Pier and beach, great restaurants in walking distance. It was so helpful to have valet parking so no need to hunt for parking."

Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed/appreciate the privacy, accommodation, friendly staff, and nearest location to the Annenberg Community Beach House, as I was in Santa Monica (out of town) for a work summit/conference,"

Viceroy Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"Paying extra for amenities I’m not going to use is an issue for me."

The Pierside Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"The iconic Santa Monica pier is just one block away. This conveniently located boutique Hotel has a hip skater/surfboard, motif, but also an elegant bicycles are available to take on the beach. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. My only disappointment was that the pool was closed for maintenance, but they did give me a voucher to use a neighboring hotels pool. I was given a free breakfast coupon, but it was only for one particular item on the menu, which was not vegetarian. My suggestion would be to allow choosing any breakfast dish on the menu. The non-vegetarian was one of the most expensive things on the menu, so I would imagine that having a bowl of oats which cost less would not be an issue. For a hotel with a bicycle, skateboard, surfboard, motif, I think they should lean into the Health food a bit more other than that, I had a wonderful time and a great sleep in a very comfortable bed in a very well designed room."

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"Every single staff member I interacted with was friendly and helpful. You can tell they are a tight team. Room was comfortable and we especially appreciated having a small couch. Gym was great. The hotel is very close to the pier and beach access and walkable to lots of restaurants and coffee shops. Plus Target and Trader Joe’s right down the street. Very enjoyable stay."

Sea Blue Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for our anniversary night in Santa Monica and it was wonderful. The location is unbeatable, the price was great for the area, and it felt very safe and secure. The view from our room was gorgeous. My only tiny wish is that the room had been cleaned during our stay — but honestly, it didn't bother us at all. Would absolutely stay here again."

The Sovereign

10/10 Excellent

"This is an absolutely gorgeous property. Very well situated for exploring Santa Monica and near all the amenities like beach, shopping restaurants, etc. Room is lovely and bed very comfortable and hotel is very quiet as well. The only slight problem we had was that we visited during an immense heatwave and the hotel has no air conditioning. It was okay for sleeping with the fans and windows open and I imagine this is a non issue any other time due to it's close proximity to the ocean. Loved that there was a kitchenette as well."

Maison Twenty Seven

8/10 Good

"Assorted carpets and upholstery showed signs of wear and tear. Overall, though, very comfortable and clean. Pillows were lumpy but bed, with a stylish fabric headboard, was blissful. Bathroom was spotless; great shower head. Water is precious in L.A., I know, but windows needed washing! Delicious morning coffee in the lobby. Super friendly staff. So a mixed bag of tricks. I would stay again but would hope for some more refurbishing."
