Hotels in Santa Monica, Los Angeles

Stayed at Found Santa Monica for 10 Nights June 2024. I was there for a business trip but here are my take aways. Location- Relatively suburban area so there’s not too much happening that’s that fun if you’re there on vacation, would recommend getting a car as there’s not much outside of coffee/breakfast that’s walking distance (Starbucks 5 min walk, Blu Jam Café 10 min walk.) The general Area surrounding feels slightly questionably in the evening. The 7/11 and parking lot next door feels more dangerous at night and is rife with homeless around the hotel but I don’t think the hotel can do much about that. Staff- Helpful enough. I was checked in by Stephen who could not find my booking and I found him to be rather unapproachable throughout the rest my stay and unwelcoming. Other staff members seemed ok though. Security always around the lobby area. Rooms- Basic but clean. Would have loved a fridge or something perhaps but my room on the second floor had a desk and a wardrobe and a very nice bathroom. It’s everything you need- nothing more nothing less, cleaners did a good job most days however the AC unit is loud and can give off a weird smell if left on all day. TV has a lot of channels but no ability to connect from smart devices (although advertised). Overrall- Every part of me wanted to give this a poor review as I was largely unimpressed but for the price I can’t complain. If you want basic necessities for a good price in LA in the Santa Monica area then go for it. Don’t expect to be blown away and keep yourself to yourself- the check in codes is a great feature which I wish more hotels would implement. 3/5 Stars from me. Ok, does the job?

It's a 10-minute walk to Santa Monica Beach.But there's a lot of homelessness on the road. I can't get around late at night. The hotel staff is very good. The man wearing glasses is a little cynical when checking in. The room I reserved was the smallest and the lighting was very dark. Keep that in mind.

The woman at check-in was cold. The room was average size, but there was trash and hair on the floor so it didn't feel very clean. The bus stop was nearby and it was about a 30-minute walk to the beach, so it was pretty convenient.

Stayed here over Christmas and enjoyed it immensely. From start to finish staff was incredible. We had an early morning flight in and they were able to get us checked in as soon as we arrived. Which was very much unexpected and greatly appreciated. As a diamond member, they upgraded us to a huge suite with a kitchen even. Again. Not expected but truly appreciated. Alert staff were friendly and always quick on the draw. Housekeeping did a great job of keeping the room clean. Everyone in the restaurant was always friendly and accommodating. And I tell ya, Lucian makes one heck of an old fashioned!! Location was nice but there wasn’t a lot nearby so it was usually a long walk or car ride to get to restaurants, the pier, etc. the beach looks closer than it actually is but it’s not too bad a walk to get there. All in all a great stay and we hope to visit again!!

Perfect location in Downtown Santa Monica very close to many attractions, shopping & dining options. The famous Santa Monica Pier is an easy walk across from the hotel, along with plenty of beach/ocean access. The entire property is renovated & the rooms are very nice, comfy beds and the chaise sofa next to the window is perfect for watching the sunset or activity in the busy area. My only complaints are that the heated outdoor pool wasn't finished (although a full amenity charge was applied, which it is part of), microwaves weren’t available, live TV doesn't show programs on the guide (just channel abbreviation), cellphone coverage is weak in the room unless you are next to the window.

The hotel is in a good location and in a good location, just 4.5 minutes to Santa Monica Beach. Because the language is not very good, the front desk staff is very enthusiastic. The room is large and the bed is large.

Staff super helpful from start, room nice and clean, location is great (walking distance from SM pier)… the wifi provided for free is enough for what you have to do on a regular day (option to upgrade to fast for a fee) valet parking available for $45 a day ( the area charges around $30 per day for public parking, so its a good deal as you can go in an out as many times as you can)

The room is relatively large, with twin beds, each bed is 1.5 meters. The room decoration, lamps and bedding are more elegant. Go out to the right, turn left at the intersection for about 50 meters and you will arrive at Santa Monica Beach. The hotel is in a relatively central location with many restaurants. Hotel parking is more expensive, it costs 55 knives. But there is a public parking lot on the street behind, 15 dollars for 24 hours, 20 dollars on Saturday and Sunday. The second picture is the entrance of the parking lot.

The location is very good, going out is the beach. Service attitude is generally friendly. You can ask the room for slippers, toothpaste, toothbrush and hot water. The room is very new, there is a shower room and the bed is not bad. Recommended room breakfast, very good, the uncle of the meal is very humorous. Feeling partial business, not too diligent service, but as long as you ask, will respond quickly.

The prices of hotels in this area are pretty competitive,so don’t don’t be fooled by the shore hotel’s rates! The hotel is nice, in a prime location, and each and every staff member was kind and extremely helpful. We met Ramon on the first night of our stay and he and the rest of the staff have been nothing but personable, helpful and attentive. To top it all off, the hotel food is actually better than some of the much more expensive restaurants in the area. Moral of the story: stay at the shore hotel, you won’t be disappointed!
