Top Santa Monica College Hotel Reviews

The Pierside Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"The iconic Santa Monica pier is just one block away. This conveniently located boutique Hotel has a hip skater/surfboard, motif, but also an elegant bicycles are available to take on the beach. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. My only disappointment was that the pool was closed for maintenance, but they did give me a voucher to use a neighboring hotels pool. I was given a free breakfast coupon, but it was only for one particular item on the menu, which was not vegetarian. My suggestion would be to allow choosing any breakfast dish on the menu. The non-vegetarian was one of the most expensive things on the menu, so I would imagine that having a bowl of oats which cost less would not be an issue. For a hotel with a bicycle, skateboard, surfboard, motif, I think they should lean into the Health food a bit more other than that, I had a wonderful time and a great sleep in a very comfortable bed in a very well designed room."

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."

Hilton Santa Monica Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful rooms, helpful staff, great breakfast! I’d definitely stay there again!"

The Ambrose

10/10 Excellent

"This is our 5th time staying at the Ambrose and is our go-to when we are visiting LA. he hotel has a boutiquey feel and is in a quiet area of Santa Monica but still close to everything. We enjoyed the daily happy hour offering complimenatry wine and beer and sitting in the relaxing outdoor patio. The indoor space is really nice too. The rooms are clean and spacious and the staff is very welcoming and helpful! We will be back!"

Ocean Park Inn

10/10 Excellent

"WOULD STAY HERE AGAIN!!!! This place is so charming! Just a short drive to anywhere in the area. There is little parking and the spaces are even smaller, but we had no issue getting a spot every night we came back. The rooms are small but the AC is AMAZING!!! The bathroom is small but does the trick. The only complaint I would have is the bathroom door needs to be cleaned of dirty hand prints. A magic eraser would work just fine, but that is probably the Mom in me. They had ear plugs in the room to use, however we did not use them, for we were away from the street but you can hear the people walking down the hall cause the window is right there.Speaking of the window, there are no black out curtains which means the light does come in. Over all though it was very quite!! Other than that my son and I felt very safe and we're talking about when our next stay is going to be. Thank you the Cameron for saving us a room up stairs....see you soon...."
