Top Downtown Santa Monica Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place LAX/Century Blvd

10/10 Excellent

"Better parking, I paid almost $70 dollars on parking and I was only there for 2 days, hotel should have a free parking for their guests"

Hotel Burbank

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very pleasant. The room was spotless and everything worked as it should. The only grievance I have was that there was a spotlight on the roof of the neighboring building by the pool that shone directly into our room and the curtains did not close all of the way to block it out. Just a minor annoyance. The parking situation was fantastic. We didn’t have to worry about not finding a place to park as you do in so many other places. The location is fantastic. It’s close to dining grocery pharmacy. Anything you need is very close by. I highly recommend this place."

The Delphi Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"One of the worst places I have ever stayed. This is a notch above a motel. The upkeep of the property was unacceptable and far below expected standards. There are several maintenance and general cleanliness issues. For those of you who planned on booking with them please note there are so many hidden fees upon check out. It’s not worth it."

The Biltmore Los Angeles

8/10 Good

"Everything was excellent, from the friendly staff to the cleanliness of the hotel. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. A couple of areas could use improvement. The internet connection was extremely slow and frequently disconnected, which made it difficult to use reliably. The streaming services on the TV experienced similar connectivity issues. The only other disappointment was being asked to leave the downstairs lobby area and not being allowed to eat a meal there, despite it being vacant at the time. It would have been nice to have a comfortable common area available for guests to use. Aside from those issues, I had a great experience and would consider staying here again."
