The hotel is very clean, it is very nice. Food is excellent. Excellent hotel. More

This property is located a short walk to the famed Santa Monica pier. The rooms are very spacious and contain many of the amenities that a frequent business traveller finds important: in room coffee maker, functional working area and a large flat screen TV. My only complaint about the working desk is that it sits on the opposite side of... More

First off, I strongly recommend to friends or family who want to visit Los Angeles to base themsevles in Santa Monica. It really gives you the best base to explore from; the beach nearby, great air quality, tons of restaurants, great theaters, and also (importantly) not everything is super pretentious and "velvet-rope" infested (I'm looking at you WeHo). As a... More

Stayed here will attending the Rose Bowl. We choose it for the location which is great. Near beach, shopping and restaurants. Cora's is a block away! The staff was friendly and attentive. The rooms were a clean but a little worn for a hotel at this level. The windows do not open. The Cezanne restaurant food was good. The pool... More

I read the reviews before staying at this hotel for 4 nights in early December. The staff were attentive and very personable; however, it seemed as though they lacked the professionalism and knowledge that other solid 4 star hotels such as the Fairmont have. Speaking to one doorman, I thought I was staying at a regular Marriott. Remember this place... More

from a well known property ? Location is good and the public areas are ok but I have to say the pool scene is disappointing (water is TOO COLD) while the open air gym is still too hot to be enjoyable (even with the fans). For the price, there are other options. More

I've stayed here before when I was not able to get a room at another beach front hotel but this time I booked one of their suites...it was perfect. Great balcony with lounge chairs and awesome view. I hosted a little cocktail party in the suite and had the hotel cater it. They did a great job and all the... More

Rooms need to be updated. Lobby small, but funky furniture throughout! Staff helpful and literally "at your service." Our room was large (we had 2 rollaway beds with lots of space to move around in) and a fantastic view of the Ocean! Room service was fast, hot and delicious each time. Will stay again. More

The staff at this hotel is absolutely fantastic. They are all very personable and professional. However, this hotel is over-rated. I am disappointed to see that Marriott rates this as a Category 7. The rooms are outdated and mine had peeling wallpaper, a desk chair with torn leather and a phone with a missing cord -- NOT what I expect... More
