Top Santa Monica Beach Hotel Reviews

Santa Monica Proper Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff"

Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"Second time here in 6 months. Even got the same room. Breakfast is boring but exactly what you need to start your day for free. We had no issues with Breakfast. Our room floor was mopped lazily , but we always bring shoes to wear in any hotel. Yes the homeless are everywhere in Santa Monica, we bought sandwiches to hand out, every one of them said Thank you! The homeless keep to them selves, and are not scary. Another great trip to Santa Monica!"

The Sovereign

10/10 Excellent

"The property is well located, clean, stylish and exactly what we were looking for. The beds are comfortable and there is a small kitchenette that is stocked with coffee."

Fairmont Miramar Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was a nice boutique style environment with nice nighttime entertainment. No Ice machines in the building and it needed to be ordered to the room which was just another thing to top for. Hotel is far from beachfront property. Beach is across a street, down a large embankment, and across a major highway to walk to. About a 15 minute walk. $50 per day resort fee is absurd considering the pool area is the only thing we used and couldn’t even get a lounge chair. Hotel staff was friendly however restaurant staff was a touch arrogant. However Pool, front desk and front door staff were great. Overall nice hotel but If you’re looking for a relaxing beachfront vacation this probably isn’t for you."

Hilton Santa Monica Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"I thought there was a problem with the A/C turns out there was no problem, but a mechanic was sent up right away at 9:30 PM I was impressed"

The Pierside Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent
