Top Santa Monica Visitor Center Hotel Reviews

Hotel Carmel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was clean; nice room; helpful staff; great location. No restaurant or bar but there are plenty of those within walking distance."

The Sovereign

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was too short! We fell in love with our room. It was clean, kitchen was well equipped, and we had all the necessities. The location was perfect. The host was very flexible with our check in; we were later than expected;) I highly recommend this VRBO You won’t regret it!"

The Georgian, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Perfecta admirable"

Santa Monica Proper Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"The greatest hotel I’ve ever been to."

The Pierside Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"The location was fantastic, a very walkable area to stay in Santa Monica, lots of shops close by. The pool was closed due to maintenance/construction taking longer than planned, but we got vouchers to use the pool at the Shore each day. The pool at the Shore was beautiful, and only a short walk from the Pierside, and not very busy. The Pierside hotel itself was very clean, staff were very friendly and helpful! We stayed with our infant and really enjoyed it."

Shore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel close to the beach"

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"Every single staff member I interacted with was friendly and helpful. You can tell they are a tight team. Room was comfortable and we especially appreciated having a small couch. Gym was great. The hotel is very close to the pier and beach access and walkable to lots of restaurants and coffee shops. Plus Target and Trader Joe’s right down the street. Very enjoyable stay."

Maison Twenty Seven

8/10 Good

"Assorted carpets and upholstery showed signs of wear and tear. Overall, though, very comfortable and clean. Pillows were lumpy but bed, with a stylish fabric headboard, was blissful. Bathroom was spotless; great shower head. Water is precious in L.A., I know, but windows needed washing! Delicious morning coffee in the lobby. Super friendly staff. So a mixed bag of tricks. I would stay again but would hope for some more refurbishing."
