Top Santa Monica College Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"Air conditioning so cold"

Hotel Carmel

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay! The room was clean, comfortable, and the location was absolutely perfect. Being so close to the beach and Third Street Promenade made it incredibly convenient to walk around and explore. The only thing I was a little confused about was the amenity fee. I was aware of it when booking, but I wasn’t entirely sure what amenities were actually included. One tip for anyone driving (unrelated to the hotel itself): We decided to park in the parking garage just a couple of spaces down, thinking it would be cheaper than the hotel’s valet. However, it ended up costing us $40 per day since we left and returned a couple of times. Looking back, I would have just used the valet to save the hassle! Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely consider staying here again. You really can’t beat the location!"
