This is a 1930's Santa Monica apartment building turned into a retro hotel suite. Suites have a full kitchen with oven, toaster, microwave, coffe maker, fridge. Seperate bedroom and full living area. The building must be on a historic L.A. preservation list as the building looks like it's original. It's a quaint place with a nice maintained pool in the...

We stayed at Cal Mar for two nights over New Years Eve. The building doesn't look like much from the outside but don't let that deter you. It's a converted apartment building (looks like right out of Melrose Place). The room was very clean and had a very "at home" feel to it. The pool was heated extra warm, so...

Whenever our plan calls for an overnight stay in Santa Monica, we head for Cal Mar Suites. It's an old apartment complex on a residential street, and not one bit fancy, but spacious, extremely clean and wildly reasonable for the location, steps from the Third Street Promenade. Can be a bit noisy at times, especially in the peak summer tourist...

Not a luxury property, but clean, well-kept and friendly. The best aspects are the location and the space you get. Our one bedroom suite had a full kitchen and a dining area, plus a living room, in addition to the bedroom and bath--really a one bedroom apartment.. The staff was very helpful and responsive in all respects. We recommend this...

We stayed at the Cal Mar for four nights. We loved the retro feel of the building, we thought it had character, which alot of larger hotels do not. We were very impressed with the size of the appartment we stayed in, it was probably larger than our own flat. Our apartment was very clean, and I loved the little...

This property is a converted 60s apartment bldg with large rooms and compete kitchens. Our bed was a newer king and very comfortable. The other furnishings are older but adequate. The place has a mid-century vibe, clean and comfortable per other reviewers. Great location and good value for the $$.

The Hotel was in a great location within walking distance to the Santa Monica Pier and the great 3rd street shopping . The staff were very helpful and the rooms were old with that musty smell that is common at beachside hotels but very clean . We had a suite with a fairly large kitchen, it would be nice for...

We stayed in Cal Mar last year and liked it very much so we decided to spend 6 nights in May/June this year and nothing had changed. Cal Mar is a delightful place, typical California of the 70’s or 80’s, with its kidney-shape pool and tiled kitchen counters of those days. The kitchen cupboards are getting old but they are...

Can only agree with other reviewers comments about location, helpfulness of staff (especially Holly) and the convenience of having your own kitchen and room to spread out. Parking is $15 per day. Wi- fi is a reasonable $9.95 per day and it works fine. Clean room and everything works, although some furniture and fittings showing their age. Good supermarket a...
