Historic Hotels & Resorts in Santa Monica from AU$298

"Cons/ -overpriced when compared to other hotels (this when booking a suite, didn't try the bunk/dorm rooms). -minimal amenities in suites, especially the two plastic cups provided (cheap motel), and the tiny fridge. No water, coffee, or any option for having even better plastic glasses in room for wine or drinks. Front desk unwilling to provide any glasses other than water from the gym. - Only restaurant in building on a Sunday is the roof terrace which opens at noon (maybe the same for the other days). No coffee on roof terrace, only place to have food. - no way to call lobby/front desk/ valet from room (a phone was in my suite but call buttons inactive. Pros/ -the downstairs restaurant in the hotel is lovely and beautifully designed, as is the decor in the hotel (minimal 60/70's retro). -Staff is overall nice and especially the late night staff (weekend valet and front desk. Shoutout to Tony ) were professional and accommodating as much as they could be with the limitations of hotel policy. Overall, I wish there was more focus on small details of service and care. Small but elevated gestures from the hotel. Not happening atm. If it was 20 % cheaper it would fit the bill."

"Rooms were pretty small. We got the king bed with sleeper sofa. Traveled with children. First time staying here and im not sure I would stay here again."

"Hotel is beautiful. Room was huge. Loved everything about it"

"Beautiful hotel in the center of downtown!"

" The best thing about my stay here was the excellent staff. Every single staff person that I encountered was friendly and went out of their way to be helpful."

"This hotel is older. First the positives. It was clean and the room itself was somewhat updated. The elevator was so small you cannot fit more than 2 people in it. Hallway carpeting looks to be about 30 years old and the stairs were very narrow. The bathroom was clean but exceptionally small. The toilet flushed on the top but you could barely reach the button because there was wood over the top. STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE. "

"Great location! Walkable to the pier, restarants and souvenir shops! Great items to borrow. Beautiful lobby area with that fire always going. Expensive valet/overnight parking and our hallway smelt like wet dog."

"Great"

"We recently stayed at this hotel, and overall it was a fantastic experience. The location is absolutely perfect ; very convenient and easy to get around. What truly stood out was the staff. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, and throughout our stay, it felt like they genuinely went above and beyond to accommodate us. It wasn’t just the big gestures, but also the small details that made a difference. I mentioned at check-in that it was my wife’s birthday, and the team completely exceeded our expectations. We were unexpectedly upgraded to a suite, and there was even a complimentary bottle of wine waiting for us. Needless to say, they made us feel very special. The only small note is that the hotel itself is a bit older. However, it didn’t take away from the experience at all …. the ambiance, service, and overall atmosphere more than made up for it. Would absolutely stay here again."
