Top Santa Monica Visitor Center Hotel Reviews

Hotel Carmel

8/10 Good

"Great location."

The Sovereign

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at the Sovereign!! It is a beautiful, well appointed property, with so much charm. We stayed in a king room with a view of the ocean, viewed by the many windows and balcony and patio. The bed was super comfortable. The managers of the hotel were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is situated in a nice neighborhood close to everything. I can’t say enough good things about the Sovereign. We will definitely be back!"

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."
