Our stay at the Ocean View hotel in Santa Monica was truly wonderful from the moment we arrived we were welcomed into a warm and friendly atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The hotel is not only beautifully maintained, but also exceptionally clean which added to our comfort and peace of mind throughout the day. A special highlight of our visit was encountering Joy who was incredibly attentive and kind her friendly, demeaning, genuine hospitality truly stood out and made our experience even more memorable. It’s always a comfort to stay in a place where the environment is so beautiful and welcoming we look forward to returning and highly recommend Ocean View Hotel to anyone visiting Santa Monica.

When I checked into the hotel, no one explained anything about a destination fee. Upon checkout, I was surprised to find an additional charge of over $100. I didn’t understand why. When I finally asked about it, I was told it covered the use of the gym and bicycles, which I never used. But they still NOT Despite this, they still charged me.” I feel like I shouldn’t stay this kind of hotel anymore. I have to careful choosing Hotel.

Great hotel, quiet and perfectly located. Ocean view was great, room was clean and nice. Bathroom could do with an update. Shower pressure was extreme and no adjustable shower head so was a bit difficult to use, but overall a nice stay. Would stay again.

Paid a little over $400 to not have a microwave in the room small fridge filled with their items to purchase room hair everywhere from prior people. Left my daughter‘s tablet filed a claim and they stated they’re unable to help me or get my item back so the person who cleaned the room kept my daughter‘s tablet. Charged me $90 for valet yet. They just brought me my car and parked. It did not help us load the car. I do not recommend this place. Horrible experience and not trustworthy people waste of money other hotels around for a little more everything else I wish I took the time to look before deciding on this property who do not take care of their visitors.

Staff was very nice, I just had an uneasy feeling (which is unusual for me) and it felt dirty. Hair on the bathroom floor, mold in the tired shower which bothered me much more than the dated room and bathroom. Had a wonderful rainfall shower head and an Excellent location across from the pier. I wanted to love it, I just couldn’t.

Great reception. Stored our luggage during the day while we were on a tour. Help with luggage. Walkable to shopping, beach, pier, shopping and several restaurants. We found the hotel was very quiet. Lovely, clean and spacious room. Very relaxing. Too bad we could stay only one night.
