Staying at Casa Del Mar was an absolute delight. The hotel’s location is perfect—just a short walk from Santa Monica Beach, with easy access to the boardwalk and all the local charm. The architecture and design have a lovely Mediterranean flair, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. My room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, with great views of the ocean. Staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. It felt like a true getaway, even though it's just steps away from everything. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santa Monica.

Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Santa Monica
Check-in was quick and smooth, with friendly and efficient staff. The hotel is well-located for exploring Santa Monica, just a short walk to the beach and downtown area. While there aren’t many dining options right around the property, the room itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained—especially the bed, which made for a great night’s sleep. One area that could be improved is overall cleanliness, particularly in the bathroom and flooring. A little more attention to hygiene would make this already solid stay even better. All in all, it’s a great value for the price, and I’d definitely book again.
Bayside Hotel
This was my second stay at this hotel, and I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations once again. The location is unbeatable—right next to the beach with a quick walk to the sand. I loved waking up to the sound of waves and taking morning strolls along the shoreline. Parking was a breeze too, with convenient on-site options just steps away from the entrance. Santa Monica downtown is only a short drive or pleasant walk away, making it easy to explore restaurants, shops, and local events. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, while the staff went above and beyond to make our visit special. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and coastal charm. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Santa Monica Beach and the Pacific Park amusement area, with everything you need within easy reach. I loved strolling along the nearby pedestrian street for dinner and shopping; there’s such a vibrant mix of restaurants and boutiques. The hotel itself offers excellent amenities and top-notch service—clean rooms, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. It’s clear they care about guest comfort. I’ll definitely be returning next time I visit Santa Monica.
Gateway Hotel Santa Monica
I stayed here during my English language course in Santa Monica, and it was a great experience. The breakfast was simple but included, which was a nice touch—especially helpful when you're on a tight schedule. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the stay feel welcoming and stress-free. That’s why I ended up rebooking for a longer stay. The location is excellent—close to everything, and super convenient for getting to class by public transit. Overall, a fantastic value with a warm, reliable vibe. Definitely coming back.
Sea Blue Hotel
Staying at Sea Blue Hotel was a great experience overall. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from Santa Monica Pier and Muscle Beach, making it super convenient for exploring the area on foot. The property itself is clean, well-maintained, and has a nice modern vibe. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room to relax after a day of sightseeing. While there’s no air conditioning, the weather was pleasantly cool during our visit, and the fan in the room worked perfectly to keep things breezy. One thing to note is that the neighborhood can get a bit noisy at night, especially if you leave the window open—something we were aware of and managed accordingly. We felt safe during the day, but walking back late at night, we noticed a few people around who made us cautious. That said, it’s more reflective of the local area than anything the hotel did wrong. Overall, the value for money is excellent, the staff were friendly, and the central location makes it hard to beat. I’d definitely stay here again.

The on-site valet parking is a real convenience, especially if you're arriving by car. While the rate is on the higher side at $68 before tax, the unbeatable location and thoughtful touches make it worth every penny. Guests can borrow beach towels, chairs, and even kid-friendly toy sets—perfect for families wanting to spend time at the beach without packing a thing. It’s clear that the hotel goes the extra mile to enhance your stay, and with such a prime spot right on the water, it’s easy to see why this place earns top marks.
Ocean View Hotel
The Ocean View Hotel truly delivers on every front—excellent staff, stunning views, and an unbeatable location right in front of the Santa Monica Pier. Waking up to the ocean breeze and watching the sun set over the water was pure magic. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Being steps away from the pier, restaurants, shops, and beaches made everything so convenient. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of comfort, service, and location. I’d absolutely recommend this gem to anyone visiting Santa Monica.
Rest Haven Motel
I arrived earlier than check-in time, but the staff welcomed me immediately and got me checked in without any hassle. The owners are a lovely couple—so warm and flexible with their service that it felt like staying at a friend’s place. The garden on-site is absolutely beautiful—peaceful, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing after a long day. It’s super convenient too: there are plenty of restaurants nearby, a 7-Eleven right across the street, and fast food options just steps away. I’m already planning my next trip to Santa Monica just so I can come back here. This place has a genuine charm and excellent value—you won’t regret booking with the platform.
Ocean Luxury Lofts and Suites
I was extremely disappointed with this property. I initially booked through a platform and had a free cancellation option, yet they charged me for the first night despite still being within the cancellation window—due to a date error. When I rebooked, we canceled the day before because of troubling reviews about the hotel. I accepted the $217 cancellation fee without issue, but then the hotel charged me the full amount of $651 instead! That’s completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, the place itself is a disaster. We encountered French guests who stayed only one night and left immediately—they mentioned cockroaches, filthy conditions, and unbearable noise. The room was not clean, the building felt rundown, and the overall experience was far below any standard I’d expect. Avoid this hotel at all costs—it’s not worth the money or the stress.
Shore Hotel
We arrived at the hotel earlier than check-in time, which is 4 PM, so we checked in our luggage. The front desk staff, Tom, was incredibly welcoming and helpful right from the start. When I picked up my bags later, he noticed it was my first stay here and kindly took a moment to explain how to use the key card for the elevator—though I already knew, his thoughtful gesture made me feel truly valued. It’s clear this team genuinely cares about guest experience. From the warm greeting to the small but meaningful details, every interaction stood out. A fantastic first impression with excellent service that goes above and beyond. I’ll definitely be back.
