Top Santa Monica Visitor Center Hotel Reviews

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."

Sea Blue Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for our anniversary night in Santa Monica and it was wonderful. The location is unbeatable, the price was great for the area, and it felt very safe and secure. The view from our room was gorgeous. My only tiny wish is that the room had been cleaned during our stay — but honestly, it didn't bother us at all. Would absolutely stay here again."

The Eden

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about this hotel and my stay was amazing. Will be back again."

Hilton Santa Monica Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

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

Fairmont Miramar Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Fairmont never disappoints! We love staying here when we’re in town, thank you too all of the Fairmont staff ♥️"

The Sovereign

10/10 Excellent

"This is an absolutely gorgeous property. Very well situated for exploring Santa Monica and near all the amenities like beach, shopping restaurants, etc. Room is lovely and bed very comfortable and hotel is very quiet as well. The only slight problem we had was that we visited during an immense heatwave and the hotel has no air conditioning. It was okay for sleeping with the fans and windows open and I imagine this is a non issue any other time due to it's close proximity to the ocean. Loved that there was a kitchenette as well."

Maison Twenty Seven

8/10 Good

"Assorted carpets and upholstery showed signs of wear and tear. Overall, though, very comfortable and clean. Pillows were lumpy but bed, with a stylish fabric headboard, was blissful. Bathroom was spotless; great shower head. Water is precious in L.A., I know, but windows needed washing! Delicious morning coffee in the lobby. Super friendly staff. So a mixed bag of tricks. I would stay again but would hope for some more refurbishing."

The Pierside Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay and the food at the restaurant was great."
