My daughter Isabella and I stayed at the Le Meridien from Monday July 7th through Thursday morning, July 10th so that we could tour several Southern California university programs. We chose Le Meridien due to its central proximity to several schools which interested us. The Le Meridien hotel and especially its staff far exceeded our expectations! From the moment we checked in on Monday night until we departed the hotel staff was personable, conscientious, and attentive - from the front desk personnel to the housekeeping staff to the bartender - everyone we interacted with was personal, professional, and attentive.

In particular, Hugo Correa is a standout concierge and consummate, personable professional. We first spoke to Hugo about breakfast recommendations on Tuesday morning and briefly described to him why we were visiting Santa Monica. From then on Hugo checked in with us each time we returned to the hotel to make sure we were getting what we wanted out of our visit. On the surface this may seem like a small thing, but as someone who travels frequently in my own profession it is the people who provide these personal touches who I remember above all whenever I travel.

Many thanks to the Le Meridien and especially to Hugo Correa and the rest of the staff for leaving us with such great memories during our stay in Santa Monica!

We were hesitant when we got this on a discounted site. Wow! We are so impressed. We travel a lot and are picky. This place is awesome! High end and modern. They do a good job. Great service. Sonia A at front desk let us check in early, upgraded us and have is internet. They take wonderful care of guests. Close to 3rd street promenade (10 min walk) and close to beach. They have bike rentals (very nice bikes) AND free parking (must reserve in advance with valet). They are treating us wonderfully! At pool right now and very happy!
Wonderful complimentary continental breakfast every morning too.

We stayed 5 nights at Le Meridien Delfina and we are happy with our choice. My husband is a Gold member so we were upgraded to a higher-level room, along with free wifi. The view was well above an apartment building behind the hotel, with a view of the ocean in the distance. The room was nice and clean, with comfortable beds, and we did not hear anyone in the corridor. The location is somewhat away from the beach and the pier, a good 20-minute walk, so if you want a hotel very close to the beach, this is not it. We had a car and were able to park inside the hotel garage each night. A valet actually helped us park aside until a space would become free later in the evening; we very much appreciated this! We also received very good service from the concierge, Mr. Jimmy, who helped us print attraction tickets and was always smiling and helpful. The lobby and bar area are kept under very dim light; I think it might be better if it was a bit brighter. We went to the pool after spending a day at the beach; it was busy and we could not find a seat so we did not stay. Overall, a nice stay. As an aside, I think free wifi should be offered; after all, cheaper hotels/motels always seem to offer it without charging for it.
