The hotel

With roughly 70 per cent of the rooms at this hotel being suites, it’s easy to get that VIP service in the heart of Santa Monica, and these spacious options are ideal for groups and families. A freshly designed hotel with nods to the ocean, you’re just 3 short blocks away from the famous Santa Monica pier and that sparkling blue ocean. Whatever the time of day you’ll be able to get something to satisfy your taste buds at Monica’s, a farm-to-table restaurant that also offers locally sourced wines and their very own ‘Monica’s beer’ on tap. 3rd street promenade is just minutes away so you can browse the designer shops and enjoy a range of open-air restaurants and bars, or relax by the pool with a good book – the choice is yours.

The hotel is brand new and beautiful. The manager was also so helpful when I had a request. The room was spacious and all the furniture was new. We enjoyed the extra space and work area. The gym was just enough to get a daily workout in and the heated salt poor was amazing! I would definitely stay here again.

The views and amenities here are incredible! I’ve had a very relaxing stay so far and plan on coming back in the future. The manager Ajay was very nice and accommodating to me. If you have been looking and trying to decide where you want to stay in Santa Monica, this is the one I’d recommend above all!

We generally avoid the big hotel chains but this hotel gives reasonable value in Santa Monica and is within walking distance of Santa Monica and Venice Beach. The hotel check in was fast and easy. The room was clean and comfortable although the furniture layout could be improved. The rooms are bland and lack character and could use some more or better placed pictures. Our TV in the suite area wasn't working properly and they fixed it promptly when requested. There are a variety of good breakfast and other restaurants within a 10 or 15 minute walk. The rail tram station is 5 minutes away and it's relatively easy to use public transit to get to other parts of Los Angeles at ridiculously low fares. Well located generic hotel with large clean rooms. Read less
