Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica"Wonderful staff! From the helpful front desk to the friendly housekeepers."
Hilton Santa Monica Hotel & Suites
Hilton Santa Monica Hotel & Suites"The staff at this hotel were phenomenal. They were very helpful and friendly. The location is ok, it’s not close to any shopping, but it’s not that far of a walk. Next time I would book something closer to the pier. The rooftop pool was lovely but cold, so we didn’t use it. Parking was ridiculously expensive. But thankfully there is a parking lot right across the street that was much cheaper. Overall, it was ok."
Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica
Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica"The room was clean. Staff was helpful and inviting. Breakfast was better than most hotels we've stayed at. Short walk to major shopping and local activities."
"good location and price. only complaint is that the shower drain was stopped up, the tub filled almost immediately when showering. It’s and old building, understandable but I asked for it to be looked at while we were gone for the day and was told at the dest someone would so either they did and it wasn't fixed or they just didn't try."
SureStay Hotel by Best Western Santa Monica
SureStay Hotel by Best Western Santa Monica"Reasonable hotel in Santa Monica if you can tolerate some safety issues. Hotel feels shabby. Good for a one night stay if you had to but we had to stay for 5 nights, which wasn’t fun. Parking was available but sometimes difficult."
"Staff was nice. Rooms/bathrooms a bit outdated. Flush could be upgraded."
