Popular Sea View Hotels Santa Monica, Find the Lowest Prices

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.

We are Hilton Honors members and stay exclusively at Hilton properties whenever possible. They are dependable and consistent, but are always missing the small details that would bring them to great in my opinion. Service is always excellent and property is always well maintained. The details that are consistently missing: GOOD COFFEE, lighted magnified makeup mirror, nice fluffy towels and lots of them, more than one bar of soap, extra pillows. At this hotel we had three pillows, if you are going to sit up and read you need at least four. There was not a single wash cloth so I used a large towel to wash my face. Only one bar of soap and no shower gel so the soap travelled from sink to shower a few times. No top sheet on the bed so we were sleeping directly under the quilt, kind of creepy wondering if they wash the quilt after every guest. This hotel had excellent security which I appreciated because the neighborhood is a bit sketchy. You could not enter the hotel at all or use the restrooms in the lobby without a hotel key. If you didn’t have a key the receptionist would have to buzz you in. Valet parking only and expensive at $49, but worth it for convenience and safety. I did not take advantage of the pool or breakfast, but nice that they have them.

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 The Bad: Outdated.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)

Opposite the road is the beach and the sea, the service is thoughtful and thoughtful, the housekeeper found that we have a lot of fruit in the process of moving luggage, and specially moved a mini refrigerator for us. Bottled water is free to take, coffee is free to drink, and the overnight car only charges one parking fee.

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.
