The hotel

With roughly 70 per cent of the rooms at this hotel being suites, it’s easy to get that VIP service in the heart of Santa Monica, and these spacious options are ideal for groups and families. A freshly designed hotel with nods to the ocean, you’re just 3 short blocks away from the famous Santa Monica pier and that sparkling blue ocean. Whatever the time of day you’ll be able to get something to satisfy your taste buds at Monica’s, a farm-to-table restaurant that also offers locally sourced wines and their very own ‘Monica’s beer’ on tap. 3rd street promenade is just minutes away so you can browse the designer shops and enjoy a range of open-air restaurants and bars, or relax by the pool with a good book – the choice is yours.

The pillows and bed were the best. The hotel was new and clean. The two room suite with two queen beds was extremely comfortable. The hotel has a beautiful lobby. The location it's within walking distance to the pier and restaurants. Although it looked a bit isolated and some people may consider it unsafe to walk , we did not encounter anything that made us feel in danger. I will not walk it alone just being extra cautious. The only downside was that the hotel did not offer an alternative to valet parking. At check in and via chat advise us only valet parking was available at a hefty fee of $54 per day when there was a convenient and safe alternative right across for $15.00 which is the same parking garage they use for valet . I found this very deceiving and not at all honest. Specially because we asked at the time of check in if there was an alternative to valet parking. I would give the hotel a 5 star Although The breakfast left a lot to desire. Read less

Stayed for one night in a suite with 2 doubles on 7th floor. Very quiet, excellent pillows, and room was very clean and fresh. Staff welcoming. Only con - it was a little longer walk to beach and downtown than I anticipated because the light on the corner right by the hotel was very very long.

We visit a lot of Hilton properties and can vouch that this one is much better than we expected it to be. It’s secure, safe and convenient for the Santa Monica area.

We visit a lot of Hilton properties and can vouch that this one is much better than we expected it to be. It’s secure, safe and convenient for the Santa Monica area. Yes of course there’s a lot of folks on the streets but that isn’t anything to do with the Hilton. The rooms are far larger than we anticipated and we enjoyed a sea and pool view with great housekeeping and all the facilities we needed. You’re well located here to go to Trader Joes for snacks, generally around Santa Monica for food and shopping but also Main Street for lots of good eats. We’ll definitely stay again when we’re in the area. The pool gets really busy and there isn’t quite enough space for everybody but it’s a great bonus if you can make it work for you. Read less

The hotel is brand new and beautiful. The manager was also so helpful when I had a request. The room was spacious and all the furniture was new. We enjoyed the extra space and work area. The gym was just enough to get a daily workout in and the heated salt poor was amazing! I would definitely stay here again.
