Top Santa Monica Hotel Reviews

Hilton Los Angeles Airport

Hilton Los Angeles Airport

8/10 Good
"This is a nice, well-maintained hotel with clean rooms, friendly staff, and overall a pleasant atmosphere. The property is clearly well cared for and provides a comfortable stay. My main criticism is the parking fee, which is nearly $70 per night!!! That charge feels excessive, especially on top of the room rate, and significantly increases the overall cost of the stay. If parking were more reasonably priced, I would have rated the experience even higher."
