Olivia Hotel

As a frequent business traveler, I'm always looking for a hotel that isn't a sterile reminder that I'm sacrificing quality of life to be on the road. The Olivia Hotel is one of the few hotels that doesn't constantly remind me that I'm traveling for work. At the heart of the hotel is an intimate cafe with a simple yet well-executed complimentary breakfast. You can pick and choose the items you want, from overnight oats to quiche and even avocado toast. The coffee program feels fit for even...

The hotel was cute and the staff was very helpful. They offer free coffee, tea and water all day, as well as wine and beer for a few hours in the evening. They also offer a free 3 mile shuttle until 8pm so you can enjoy dinner in downtown Santa Monica without having to worry about finding parking. The bakery in front of the hotel was delicious. My husband and I have already talked about staying at this hotel again if we return to Santa Monica during our stay. Highly recommended.

I showed up at the Royal Palace with my back completely thrown out while on a solo roadtrip and was very moved by the staff's kindness. They helped me get into my room early so I could lie down, and when it unexpectedly got much worse they helped me extend my stay and even brought me a fork when my food delivery was missing one! I will absolutely be back and especially recommend the Royal Palace to anyone dealing with medical stuff or disabilities. They were so understanding and nice which made...
