The Cal Mar Hotel is only 2 blocks to Pacific Palisades, park over-looking the Pacific Coast Highway, which provides you with outstanding photo opportunities of the expansive beach, the world-famous Santa Monica Pier and gorgeous sunsets! This hotel is a boutique property with all rooms having full kitchen and surrounding the small, but lovely pool. Each room has either 1 king-size bed or 2 double beds, but all have queen-size sofa-sleepers in the living room which increases the # that each room can accommodate.

Great value considering location

Great location, enjoyed the big rooms, loves that windows all opened to enjoy the breeze, full kitchen was super nice for longer stay. Beds could use updating to newer more comfortable mattresses, and bathroom amenities were lacking, but otherwise a great value and comfortable stay!

Great location. Easy walking to restaurants, pier, beaches. The rentals were a bit old with worn carpet, tile etc. But loved the spaciousness and kitchen, etc. The pool area had a nice island feel with all the lush plants and flowers.

We just returned from a wonderful stay at Cal Mar Suites and couldn’t be happier with the experience. As a family of four, we found it incredibly convenient—close to everything we needed and easy to get around. The suite was spotlessly clean, thoughtfully stocked, and had all the essentials to make us feel at home. The only minor surprise was that the photos had made it seem like one of the beds might be larger, but the suite had two double beds. Still, we made it work without any issues, and the overall comfort and convenience more than made up for it. Everyone we interacted with was so kind and accommodating, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We’re already looking forward to staying here again on our next trip!

Property was a little tired looking, but very clean. Staff nice and polite. Towels changed daily, nice fluffy towels and lots of them. Both bathroom and kitchen could do with an update. Area around pool uneven and only steps to property, struggled getting cases into and out of the room and into the reception area.

Loved how spacious our room was with a full kitchen! Pool had broken heater during our stay so that was a bummer but out of their control. Only thing that was frustrating was walls were really thin so we could hear everyone in the rooms around us.
