The Pierside Santa Monica
4/5109 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!
Viceroy Santa Monica
4/5101 Reviews
The hotel is very beautiful, the location is excellent, walk to the beach for two minutes, there are seafood restaurants on the side
Huntley Santa Monica Beach
4.3/5106 Reviews
The hotel is on the second street, just one block away from the main ocean view street. It is one block away from the 3rd street promenade end (the pedestrian commercial walk). All of this makes a very good location for touristic purposes. There are not many convenience stores around, but some within walking distance. The main restaurants and bars are a bit further, but also within walking distace. The hotel itself has very nice staff and very modern and nice decor. There are many signs of neglection here and there (minor details), nothing that affect the stay or the ambience per se, but for very detail oriented people, this might look weird. Other than that, the hotel is a very nice stay.
Hilton Santa Monica
4.3/558 Reviews
The hotel is very close to the airport and can be reached within ten bucks by Uber. The room is quite clean and tidy. The pillows and sofa bed are a little uncomfortable, but the flaws are good. The breakfast is of the same level as the hotel. There are rich omlets made on site and a lot of fruits and vegetables. The hotel also has a Mexican restaurant. It’s delicious and has good drinks. It’s a good choice for a stopover during a family trip.
Le Merigot Santa Monica
4/5103 Reviews
The hotel is in a good location and in a good location, just 4.5 minutes to Santa Monica Beach. Because the language is not very good, the front desk staff is very enthusiastic. The room is large and the bed is large.
Shore Hotel
4.3/5106 Reviews
The location is great and the staff is really nice and friendly. I arrived early, but if I had a little bit of welcome drink, I would get ready. The room is tidy and clean, the pool is so beautiful The night view seen from the pool is unforgettable. The next time you come to Santa Monica, a Shore Hotel reservation is a must.
