I stayed here for one night in December 2011. In this hotel you pay for the location. The hotel it self needs some upgrades to meet today's standards. It has a great location close to the pier. Walking distance from the biggest shopping street in Santa Monica. Good parking and friendly staff. I got a free bike rental ticket, but... More

We booked a single night at this hotel after reading positive reviews on TripAdvisor. We wanted a hotel near Santa Monica Pier, and the location of the hotel really is great. We arrived three or four hours early, but the friendly staff gave us early check in with no hassle. We then dropped off our bags, and went out. It... More

Stayed one night in room 514 just to get away from my family. I live in santa monica -- as the father of 15 month old twin boys, I just needed some rest and checked in for 12 hours of sleep. Alone. It was quiet enough that I slept the entire time. I had 2pm late check out and used... More

Hi spurg, Thanks for the time to review our hotel. Being a father to 15 month old twin boys must be a handful! I'm glad our hotel was able to provide you with some well deserved shut-eye. I'm sorry to hear that you had to park 10 blocks away and walked to our hotel. If you decide to spend some... More

It was expensive hotel, but suspect all Santa Monica hotels near the beach are expensive. Parking was extremely expensive. The rooms were large and comfortable. Unfortunately only one elevator was working. Enjoyed nearby restaurants and beach. More

A good value hotel for the $$$ spent. The room size was excellent with a lounge, chairs, ottomans. Good reading lamps. The TV was too small for the size of the room. Bed was rather hard. The bathroom was tiny. Needed a refurb. The coffee making facilities were in the bathroom. Didn't think that was particularly hygenic as it was... More

Stayed here 2 nights on the way back from Maui. Perfect for what we needed it for, a jumping off point for 2 days in L.A.. Across the street from both the S.M. Pier and the 3rd st promenade was perfect for both entertainment as well as restaurant choices from fast ffod to fine dining. !5 minutes to LAX and... More

I had a work project a few blocks away at the Santa Monica Police Department. The location of this hotel worked perfectly for me because I could simply walk to work and back everyday. As a Platinum, I was treated very well. I was pleasantly surprised when I checked in because they said that there is no charge for parking... More

Myself and my Husband have stayed in the HInn Santa Monica on 2 occasions and have loved it both times. The room we were given on the second stay had a nicer view as the first looked on to McDonalds and unfortunately a lot of homeless people sleeping outside or hanging about at all times. I'm not bringing down the... More

Staff very attencious and helpful. Easy to reach from the highway, and just 20 min from Los Angeles Downtown. Breakfast not included in the room rate, and... More
