So we had to vacate our house for one night and ended up getting a room at this cute hotel at a good rate. With young children, we love to get suites if possible and this hotel had them for a very good rate (for the SM area). The room was super cute and felt like you were staying in... more

Perfect spot! Location couldn't have been better, across the street from the beach, walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Short cab ride to the pier. The hotel itself was flawless, decor is stunning, modern and cozy and so detailed...down to the floor in the elevator. The valet, front desk, restaurant staff, housekeeping...incredible customer service and genuinely friendly. I never opened... more

Nice hotel, especially if your friend is picking up the tab! Small hotel focused on customer service did a great job of making it personal. But don't think you cross the street and you're standing on sand, as this hotel is up on the bluff above Pacific Coast Highway and Santa Monica beach. Instead of crossing the street and using... more

The Hotel is located about 10 blocks away from the Santa Monica Pier and about 4 blocks form the Third Street Promenade( where you can shop till you drop).The Hotel staff is very friendly.The Hotel is beautiful and and very clean. The Hotel pool is lovely and has a deep end so you can swim laps. It closes at dusk... more

Called the hotel, directly, to make our reservation. They had no suites available so we booked a king deluxe ocean view room. We pulled up to the hotel at 4:00 p.m. on a Saturday and were greeted by a very kind bellman. I went into the hotel and to the front desk. The young gal at the front desk had... more

The trip was great and all because of a cool place to stay near the water. We didn't opt for that special of a room but everything was clean and met all of my expectations. We spent a lot of time in the area and I liked being able to go back and lay down after playing on the beach.... more

Beautiful hotel, service and the restaurant are excellent. Our room did look onto a brick wall. This is a very chic hotel and it is expensive, however you do get treated really well. But it is on the cliffs above the ocean and behind a busy road, so you don't actually see the sea. Get a beach butler from the... more

We loved this hotel. This was our first trip to Santa Monica and so didn't know what to expect but were really impressed with the hotel and the area. We opted for an Ocean Vew Suite. The "signature" suites have a little balcony but these weren't available for our trip. However, we had an enormous window looking out to the... more

If your travels include LA soon, grab an Ocean view suite at the Oceana Santa Monica and permit them to lavish you in comfort and service (if you opt for a regular room….you could end up looking at the wall of an adjacent building….so split for the extra cash and take the suite). If you really want a great view... more
