I had a great experience at this place. The staff was incredibly helpful. The cottages are on a walk street that is a stone throw from the awesome beach and pier. I highly recommend it!! One night I needed an Ambulance and they totally helped me out. My dad came out to visit and he loved is too. This place... More

The hotel that doesn't feel like a hotel. The room was spacious and not decorated like a hotel room. Hard wood floor, guitars, surfboards, pictures, all the nice little things you would put in your apartment. Hawaiian style. Perfect hangout. The way down to the beach - just footsteps. The hotel California is the way to experience California lifestyle.

We spent a week in Ca and spent our last night here. About 200 gets you a clean room right off the beach. Only glitch we had was the homeless guy approaching us in the parking lot begging for anything. Could do without that. Rooms are clean.

This stay was just what I needed. Loved the BEDS they were so comfortable. The staff was all so awesome. Very Friendly, helpful and great with directions to place around. Loved Alex what a great choice for a Manager. So upbeat make made sure everything was perfect.

The room was good sized, the beds were perfect, the decor a delight, the refrigerator and WiFi were appreciated. The location couldn't have been better, it is the closest hotel to the Santa Monica pier, which put us near the Promenade on 3rd Street. There was also a top quality Mexican restaurant (Casa Martin) which was perfect. The quaintness of... More

On top of the place being fun and unique, the staff was wonderful! :) Especially the Manager Alex, and the front desk man Mike Potter. :) Thank you all for a great start to our vacation! Loved both rooms we stayed in, especially the one with 2 separate rooms,kitchen, and beautiful windows and great views! :)

This hotel does not appear nice at all when you pull up, small tight lot with NO parking. If you come into the gate and see the rooms, looks like a cute courtyard with tables, chairs and stairs leading to the beach. Don't worry when you see there is no parking in front, you can unload and park for the... More

Great place for solo travelers! Its close to the beach, all of downtown Santa Monica and shops and restaurants. The room itself is very clean and nice perfect for my stay. I was there on business in January and it was my first time here. Couldn't have been happier, everyone at the desk was very friendly and helpful with directions.... More

So I wanted to be thrilled by this place and a lot of things were great, but there were a lot of little things that also added up and made me not so thrilled. A little background, this was the tail end of a CA-1 coastal road trip. I called the night before and booked the last available room last... More
