Top Santa Monica Visitor Center Hotel Reviews

HI Los Angeles Santa Monica Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hostel!"

Cal Mar Hotel Suites

8/10 Good

"I really liked this hotel. The staff was very friendly, it was very cute, pool was nice and cool, large rooms, close to everything. Fair warning though: there is no AC. This usually isn't much of a problem at the beach, but we stayed during the heat wave, and I did not realise there was no AC, and it was rough. They had a ceiling fan and a stand-alone fan, which helped. The bed and pillows were not all that comfortable. It was nice to have a little coffee machine and kitchen. Great brand-new TV. A bit noisy at night."

Fairmont Miramar Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The best place to stay when in Santa Monica. Very friendly and helpful staff, excellent rooms, and great restaurants on the property!!"

Santa Monica Proper Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"This is a five star property that lives up to the standard. The staff are excellent, the furnishings beautiful and the cleanliness flawless. Drinks and snacks at the rooftop pool will make you question the need to leave the hotel to explore LA. This is an ideal place to stay if passing through LA. Valet Parking is expensive, but safe and tremendously convenient. The valets are quick and efficient."

Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica

8/10 Good

"Great location very close walk to the Santa Monica Pier, Hop On Hop Off bus, and close to other amenities like Target & Trader Joes. Staff was very nice and helpful. Room was spacious. There was a washer and dryer on site which came in very handy. We would return to this hotel again."

Shore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was excellent"

The Pierside Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent
