3-Star Hotels in Santa Monica

The hotel is mediocre at best. I would say it's probably a 2 1/2 star hotel. It's tolerable, but not good. They have valet parking (no self parking) which was $50/night for me. Ridiculous. Do NOT park here. The front of the hotel has several empty 15 min spaces that you can use to park, unload, check-in and then drive 1/2 a block to much cheaper and easier parking. In fact, directly behind the hotel is a parking structure that is better. The Room The Good: I had an ocean view room. I was nice because where it was located you could actually see the beach/ocean. The shower was hot and strong. The AC worked well. The Bad: Outdated. Everything in the room felt like it came from a garage sale. Not really very nice, nothing really matched. Smelly. The room smelled from the first day to my last day. Smelled like swamp gas all the time. Noisy. The walls seem to be paper thin. I was often woken up by the neighbors. The door had a 1/4 inch gap all around the frame. I could almost look into the hallway through the door. So everyone going through the hallway making noise was as bad as if I had the door was opened. Staff. The front desk staff wasn't very helpful. Not welcoming at all. Not to the point of being rude, but almost. Very unfriendly and unaccommodating. Bottom line: I would not stay here again nor would I recommend to someone to stay here. I heard good things about the Shore Hotel, and would probably stay there next time.

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)

The location is very good, the transportation is convenient, the room facilities are relatively new, and the sound insulation is slightly weak

I would not recommend Hotel Carmel. I am frustrated with this place because I wanted to like Hotel Carmel, it's quaint and had character but the customer service was the worst I've received, hope to never experience again. I paid third party, arrived May 14-15 and took a loong time to check in, which is fine, I wasn't in a rush, but it was strange that I had to fill everything once more, provide my card and ID (standard). Once in the room, concierge came up and told me he had to swiped my card and charge me since he had not (despite having paid third party which had already been reiterated and confirmed downstairs). Figured it was for deposit. Wrong, charged for much more than I had already paid for the night, which was substantial. Then went downstairs and showed the transaction, another concierge assisted, reversed the transaction but took a looong time, guys I'm not kidding you, and I am patient. Told me the valet for $38 (it said $25 valet on my email receipt with the 3rd party but oh well) and resort fee will be waived once I check out. The next morning I mention it to the lady and she was oblivious, said it was already charged, she wasn't aware and I would need to speak to the the concierge, manager that night. I asked for a written email since I didn't want to go through the hassle a third time when I called, she did not want to, although it's a standard method of documentation amongst customer and company. Between the lack of communication, professionalism, training, documentation, process, it's a zero star.

Hotel is small, very nice, convenient parking, but a bit far from the beach, less variety of breakfast

1. We bought this hotel at that time and it was clear that parking was free and then there was no breakfast. Later we checked in that night and told us to pay $ 17. It was the breakfast fee, parking fee, wifi fee. I have to pay this money, I also find it very funny, and then the so-called breakfast is to give you a few cakes and drinks, nothing else. The point is that you must pay the price of $ 17. It feels like you are in a pit. It is clear that Ctrip did not explain these costs. It was only when I discovered that I had to pay. It was really furious.

It is suitable for children, very close to the pedestrian street, close to the sea, parking lot, and car rental service. However, there is no free shuttle at the airport, and there is no charge. This is obviously inconsistent with the hotel introduction. When I started booking the hotel, I chose to shuttle, because of this problem, some plans were disrupted.

This place is great it’s been remodeled beautifully. Great location less than 2 blocks from the pier and all the great restaurants. Beds were very comfortable. This place is close to everything. People that own it are super nice. It is an older hotel but it is a great little gem. The price for the room was very reasonable also I highly recommend And tell them Carol Ann sent you Have a great time at this little gem! I can only imagine all the people that drove Route 66 and ended up staying right here. I’m sure this place is a piece of that history
