Courtyard by Marriott Santa Monica
4.1/5109 Reviews
Staff super helpful from start, room nice and clean, location is great (walking distance from SM pier)… the wifi provided for free is enough for what you have to do on a regular day (option to upgrade to fast for a fee) valet parking available for $45 a day ( the area charges around $30 per day for public parking, so its a good deal as you can go in an out as many times as you can)
HI Los Angeles - Santa Monica Hostel
4.3/591 Reviews
Stayed here for 3 nights as a group of 4, once checked in was given a room with 4 bunk beds so all had our own bunk bed. Usual thing when checking in, you have to pay resort fee's so bare that in mind. Room was what to expect for the price you pay. If you want to keep your luggage stored once checked out it's $5 per person to store your luggae and $2 for a padlock. Able to use the shower's etc once checked out if needed before you fly out.
The Pierside Santa Monica
3.9/5109 Reviews
The most caring people I have ever encountered. Upon arrival from AUS at 8.30 am my phone battery was flat and my bank travel Mastercard card wasn’t working so I was unable to pay the taxi driver. I was travelling solo and hadn’t slept in 36 hours so I was stressed and barely lucid when I walked in to the hotel. Lucia at front desk took care of things for me. We got my phone working, got the cab driver paid then she called house keeping and organised a room to be cleaned ASAP so I could check in early. I was in my room in bed by 10am thanks to her. After a lovely afternoon out and about, the next morning I woke up vomiting and running a fever. They don’t have room service so the front desk staff brought anti-nausea drugs and water up to my room within 3 minutes of me calling. They offered to phone and check in on me throughout the day as they knew I was travelling alone. The next morning when I checked out at 5.30am to get to LAX I got in my Uber and as it was about to leave the woman on front desk came running out, stopped us from leaving and said to me “you said your Uber’s a Nissan, this isn’t a Nissan, you should get out of the car”. It turned out a previous guest had taken my Uber. Once we realised this, the driver of the Uber I was in would not take me, told me to leave his vehicle and get my bags out of his car. As I had a plane to catch and was worried I would miss it, the same front desk lady rang me a cab which arrived in minutes. If you are a solo traveller STAY AT THIS HOTEL!! The rooms are beautiful, spacious and clean. To top it all off Lucia didn’t charge me for early check in; she said given how stressful getting there had been, it was the least she could do to help. Gifts from God and great beds to boot!
Gateway Hotel Santa Monica
4.2/5123 Reviews
The hotel was very beautiful. The room smells good too The bed was soft and clean as well. I couldn't use the pot because it was full of garbage. But the rooms are spacious and precious. It reminds me of the ocean in Santa Monica. However, I could hear the noise from the room next door. The child was crying so hard It disturbed my sleep. Uber to Santa Monica Pier costs about $9. There was a 7-Eleven about 500 meters away.
Days Inn by Wyndham Santa Monica/Los Angeles
4/586 Reviews
We stayed for Xmas and it was basically an empty hotel which was nice. Parking is convenient. Everyone was nice, we needed some plastic forks for our food and they had them at the desk. Due to Covid I assume no one can come to the room. When I when to use the restroom I had noticed that they had not replaced the toilet paper, not cool. Makes me wonder how CLEAN and sanitized it was. The out door patio is nice, and cool view for Xmas lights.
Ocean Park Hotel

Suited my needs perfectly. It’s the basics with a spacious, shared bathroom. The bed was comfortable, and the price was right.
