“Great value and location”
For Santa Monica, this is great choice since if you don't mind walking, it is not far at all for shopping and fine dining (Check out Bistro of Santa Monica just 3 blocks away). Also convienient if driving to the Getty or the Airport or of course all the Hollywood scene. Much quieter than others have said; windows insulated from sound very well.
“Best Western is Best!”
Excellent customer service and value for money. Reception very helpful and provided maps, directions and advice when asked. Rooms very comfortable and clean, excellent bathroom. Great location with it's own complimentary carpark. Overall a great experience, i would love to return.
“We will stay here again.”
Great location. My husband had knee surgery at St John's Medical Center and it was right across the street. Very easy to cross the street, go to the center and check him in. Convenient.
“very good value”
Excellent value hotel on main bus routes in/out of Santa Monica to Westwood, West Hollywood and downtown LA. Spacious, clean rooms and everything you read on the reviews here about the beds is true! Not smart but clean and comfortable and safe in a quiet area.
“Best Western Gateway Hotel is great.”
The hotel is in excellent condition, our room, on the 4th floor has new furniture, carpets, large LCD TV and a spacious bathroom. Definitely a comfortable place to stay.
“Clean, comfortable and convenient”
This hotel was very comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. There's plently of free parking. While there's not much tourist stuff in the immediate area, I enjoy walking so I found this location totally acceptable. Very easy and convenient to many activities. My most pressing need in a hotel is a clean room and comfortable bed, this hotel had both. I will definitely stay here again.
“A great hotel away from the main drag but close to fun”
Very clean hotel with friendly staff. Rooms were spacious and quiet even if your room faced the street. In the LA area, it is hard to find parking for free. This hotel had a parking lot free to customers of the hotel. I am very happy I chose this hotel when driving through the downtown area and seeing how congested that area was compared to Santa Monica. I would stay here again if in the area!
“Good deal”
Good deal especially for business travellers.
“will return”
The location was convenient and had easy access to activities, freeway, airport
“great stay”
great location to beaches. 15$ cab ride to venice bech. clean hotel, quiet. Comfortable beds. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a chill place and close to some hotspots. check out Zanzibar for some good times.
