What guests think
Across the reviews for Santa Monica Hotel, guests consistently praise friendly, helpful staff and very clean, cutely updated rooms, plus a location walkable to the beach and Santa Monica attractions.
A recurring complaint is the lack of air conditioning, leaving some rooms warm and requiring open windows, which, along with the busy street and compact layouts, leads to noise and space concerns. Parking is appreciated but can feel tight, and the on-site grab-and-go breakfast and lobby coffee are basic. Expect a simple, good-value stay in a renovated motel-style property near the beach.

Very nice. Older motel with very nice updates. Very good value. Free parking was a huge plus. Good towels and linens. Extremely clean. No air conditioning but they did provide a box fan if needed. We slept with a window open and the ceiling fan. Mattress could have been softer.

Definitely more of a motel but the staff are kind and helpful. We originally booked one queen bed but it was way too small for two people to sleep, we got lucky and the staff were able to get us a room with two queens beds. That room was wonderful. Very quiet and excellent bath towels. Excellent location. Free parking.

My son and I stayed for a few days here just exploring LA. It is a really cute place and nicely updated! However, get ready for small and quaint. Like no drawers for our stuff (I sometimes put clothes away!). Other than that, had all the basics. Parking is *tight* but it's LA and we were happy to even have parking! You can walk to the Santa Monica beach area w coffee shops etc but it's about a 20min brisk walk. The staff are in the office on and off. (Door is locked when they aren't there). Breakfast needs a bit of an upgrade I'm afraid. Just sugary stuff, all in packages. Overall, the place was pretty sweet (haha) just on the small side so be ready for that :) Would return.

Visitor should know that this is a motel, not a hotel, but the owners have done a very good job of making the property and rooms attractive and comfortable. Nespresso was a nice touch. Staff was great and they offered free electric bike rental. They did add on a resort fee however, but parking was free. Bathrooms are small and in early May we had no AC. It was a little stuffy at night, but cool by the morning. I recommend extending a counter from the sink over the back of the toilet. I would also recommend a larger TV and one that swivels right to left. I would recommend to visitors to get a two bed room if there are two of you. Overall, a nice stay and I would return as long as I can get a room away from the street.

ADORABLE, pet friendly, intimate boutique hotel centrally located in Santa Monica! We found the team at SMH to be welcoming and accommodating! We were very fortunate to discover this mini oasis when we needed a last minute room, and couldn’t have been happier! SMH is in a great location, we could walk our pups around the block & were close to everything! We really appreciated being able to park (free!) right outside ur room as well.

I had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. The building is quite old and the facilities reflect that. There was no air conditioning, which was not clearly mentioned at the time of booking. Fans were provided, but there were not enough proper outlets to plug them in. The parking was very limited and congested, making it inconvenient. The worst part was the flies and insects coming out of the sink and into the room, which made the stay very uncomfortable. On a positive note, the staff was nice and helpful, but overall this was a bad experience and not what I expected. I left feeling very disappointed.

Stayed 2 nights, staff were friendly and accommodating with parking our car early and looking after our luggage. Also there was a very small complimentary breakfast grab and go offering that we weren't expecting which was a nice suprise. The room was very hot, we mentioned this to the staff and they were very kind but said there was little they could do. It didn't affect our stay overall though as we opened windows overnight. Room was well decorated and very clean. Some odd clientele but again didn't affect our stay and no one made excess noise. Rooms were also pretty sound proof. Only thing missing was a safe in the room (having said that, we accidentally left our door open most of the day while we were out and thankfully everything was untouched). Would stay again and recommend to other. Good value for money.

This is definitely just a dressed up motel, not a hotel. The price seemed a bit high for the accommodations, but maybe that's just how California is - we're not from California. The room was very clean and everything was decorated really cute. The parking was a big plus! The mattress was not good. It was loud - as you might expect a motel to be - but we brought a sound machine and slept good.

The room we stayed in was as expected and immaculate! Staff, especially housekeeping, were very responsive and friendly. The area in general is not that great and very noisy. Because the room is not air conditioned, the windows had to stay open. We heard every car go by, as well as all activity in a very tight parking area.

Nicely renovated old motel. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. The lady at check-in was very kind (forgot her name unfortunately) and next morning Laura was super helpful with getting a few things organized for us. Very comfy beds, a Nespresso coffee machine and even a few snacks for breakfast in the morning. Ask for a room at the back of the property as there's quite some noise from the main road. Only thing we disliked was a missing table in the room. One small chair but no table.

This is a cute motel (cool mural) in “inland” Santa Monica. The rooms are newer, parking is easy and included, small breakfast/ snacks included. About a mile walk to beach and pier. Now for the not so fun part: we stayed in room 32, which is the first room as you enter the courtyard. The windows face the street. It being at ground level and with no AC, we wanted to keep the windows open for ventilation. Aside from privacy concerns (folks are walking right by your bed), it was so incredibly noisy all evening and night long. Ended up closing the windows and the noise was still difficult to sleep through. At 8AM, construction started right in front of the window! There was no sign of construction when we checked in. Anyway, I’d recommend asking for a room off the street. It did look like only 32 was that exposed to the outside.

We had a two night stay. The staff was super helpful and friendly. However the room didn’t have air conditioning, I needed to ask for a new iron and extra towels since there was 3 of us but only 2 towels. Only had beach towels to buy, not use. They do have a water filter in the lobby to refill water bottles. The outside is a cute pink aesthetic. You can save $10 by not having housekeeping come by. They have free breakfast items but just prepackaged muffins, apple juice, granola bars, and fruit cocktail. They say the lobby is open 24hrs but it’s locked at a certain point so you have to knock and sometimes they’ve stepped away so you have to wait for them to come back. But budget friendly and beds clean.

This small hotel, but it is very near Santa Monica pier and Venice Beach, I think it’s a great place to stay with a family or to go for business. The staff is really friendly and also really helpful.

Fantastic property that was well looked after and managed. Room was excellent. Only issue was being situated next to a noisy main road and having a 25min walk to the main boardwalk area. However, this was well worth it for what was a lovely place that was easy to get to driving.

My son and I stayed for a few days here just exploring LA. It is a really cute place and nicely updated! However, get ready for small and quaint. Like no drawers for our stuff (I sometimes put clothes away!). Other than that, had all the basics. Parking is *tight* but it's LA and we were happy to even have parking! You can walk to the Santa Monica beach area w coffee shops etc but it's about a 20min brisk walk. The staff are in the office on and off. (Door is locked when they aren't there). Breakfast needs a bit of an upgrade I'm afraid. Just sugary stuff, all in packages. Overall, the place was pretty sweet (haha) just on the small side so be ready for that :) Would return.

We only stayed one night but were impressed with the cleanliness and facilities. The location was great too. We used it as a stop off on the way to LAX and it allowed us to go into Santa Monica before an easy drive to the airport. Nice, friendly staff too.

Here’s a grammatically improved version of your text: “Very nice and clean hotel. Within walking distance of many restaurants, and just a 15-minute walk to the beach and Urth Caffé. There’s an absolute gem nearby — the Italian restaurant Piccolo.” Let me know if you’d like it to sound more formal, casual, or tailored for a review site.

Great location. Minutes to everywhere we wanted to go. Front desk and housekeeping were ALL friendly and helpful. It is a little older hotel but i would absolutely stay here again.

Stayed 2 nights, staff were friendly and accommodating with parking our car early and looking after our luggage. Also there was a very small complimentary breakfast grab and go offering that we weren't expecting which was a nice suprise. The room was very hot, we mentioned this to the staff and they were very kind but said there was little they could do. It didn't affect our stay overall though as we opened windows overnight. Room was well decorated and very clean. Some odd clientele but again didn't affect our stay and no one made excess noise. Rooms were also pretty sound proof. Only thing missing was a safe in the room (having said that, we accidentally left our door open most of the day while we were out and thankfully everything was untouched). Would stay again and recommend to other. Good value for money.

My only advice would be to have a better coffee make in the lobby for the mornings. That little one doesn't cut it.

We had a two night stay. The staff was super helpful and friendly. However the room didn’t have air conditioning, I needed to ask for a new iron and extra towels since there was 3 of us but only 2 towels. Only had beach towels to buy, not use. They do have a water filter in the lobby to refill water bottles. The outside is a cute pink aesthetic. You can save $10 by not having housekeeping come by. They have free breakfast items but just prepackaged muffins, apple juice, granola bars, and fruit cocktail. They say the lobby is open 24hrs but it’s locked at a certain point so you have to knock and sometimes they’ve stepped away so you have to wait for them to come back. But budget friendly and beds clean.

Very close to a busy street that’s noisy. No AC. However, the bed and bathroom are very comfortable and clean. No closet space to hang anything. Nespresso machine in room is great to use. Shower head is powerful. Friendly staff. Limited breakfast items: breakfast bar, apple and muffins.

Free parking, some breakfast snacks available at the reception along with tea and coffee. 15 min walk to the beach. 7 eleven round the corner. A big disadvantage is no Aircon in the rooms. We had 2 portable fans in the property and ceiling fan.

Absolutely lovely hotel. Staff are brilliant and cannot do enough for you. Coffee and tea station is a wonderful touch. 0 complaints here. Throughly enjoyed our two nights and will return if we visit Santa Monica again. The man on reception is lovely and was a great help with any advise we requested, he is a credit to your team
