Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"The property is in pristine condition, and located right where all the action is in the Downtown Santa Monica. I love the decor. The aesthetic is quite homey. The mini bar is stocked with anything you could need during your stay. Even the soaps are nice! You will want to arrive before valet leaves for the day! Otherwise, ample parking is available in City Lot #11 (hourly)."

Best Western Plus Pepper Tree Inn

"Excellent hotel!! Room was spotless, spacious, modern (recently renovated), bed ultra comfy! Heated pool was nice and warm in a beautiful garden setting. Breakfast is amazing! Super variety, everything tasty and fresh. Very clean breakfast room. Staff is super lovely - especially Abner was very helpful and kind. Original stay was 2 nights - we extended our stay to 4 nights. Location is very convenient close to shopping and restaurants. Book this if you want great value for your money! We will come back!!"
