Santa Monica Hotel  

In the heart of Santa Monica, minutes from the Pier and the beach. A short drive to Santa Monica Pier and Santa Monica Beach, and within a couple of miles of Venice Beach, the Venice Boardwalk and the Third Street Promenade — also close to Mary Hotchkiss Park, The Acting Studio at Edgemar and the California Heritage Museum.

This budget, low-rise hotel has 30 welcoming rooms accessed via exterior corridors and a 24-hour front desk. Rooms are simple and functional with ceiling fans, cable TV and in-room espresso makers; private bathrooms feature showers and complimentary toiletries. The place leans family-friendly with playrooms and a picnic area, but it is not pet-friendly. Daily housekeeping, multilingual staff and express check-out keep stays easy and unfussy.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property and free self-parking onsite. Find a snack bar/deli and a bar, a small library, bike parking and a picnic area. Concierge and a tour desk help you get out and explore; dry cleaning, an ATM and ironing services are available. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and head straight for the sand.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi and desks in rooms make light work possible while you’re away. Express check-out and 24-hour reception add convenience for business travelers.

Grab a quick bite at the on-site snack bar/deli or relax at the hotel bar. Rooms include espresso makers for a morning pick-me-up before you explore local restaurants and cafés nearby.
