Top Santa Monica Hotel Reviews

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles

8/10 Good

"One of my favorite hotels for the amazing lobby. A little disappointed this visit that we weren’t advised that we needed to let housekeeping know that we wanted the room made up every day. Also disappointed that the staff did not repair the phone in the room as requested. And the water pressure in the sink faucets could be higher without hurting anything. Certainly will stay there again, but don’t slip from a four star. Would have liked to have known what the situation was. They kept us out of the hotel on Saturday afternoon."

The LINE Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I was there for a quick work trip. The restaurant served a delicious breakfast. The pool area was clean. The water was a little bit chilly, but it was February after all. I enjoyed the little bit of sunshine. I could get in my escape from the New England winter. The bar area downstairs was nice. All of the staff were helpful. Overall, it was a great stay. If you are not used to city noises, maybe bring a pair of earplugs if you are also a light sleeper. I was on the 9th floor, but could still hear some cars from the streets. The beds were comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. It is also a walkable area. I felt safe walking around. "

Fairmont Miramar Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time staying 5 nights at the Fairmont Miramar. We had a wonderful spacious suite. We enjoyed the fitness area, spa & pool. The food at The Fig was delicious. Gil & Dillon made sure we had everything we needed poolside. Good service from all the staff. Housekeeping, Room Service, Bartenders, Waiters/waitresses were all very nice. Jordan, our main concierge was extremely helpful with any request we asked of him. We were impressed with the entire resort."
