Location was very good Very Comfy We could do a Late checkout (Extension by 1h)
As the Location was good it was too crowded Not enough seats for breakfast (while Rush Hour)
Great location to access everywhere.
The hotel has a lot of homeless people around it and early morning felt a little unsafe going out
Good location. Acceptable price and comfort.
We skipped breakfast as it was not appealing.
Yerini, oda büyüklüğünü
Otopark çok pahalı Odada içme suyu yoktu Kahvaltı vasattı
Greta location and friendly staff
La ubicació, l’habitació, el gimnas i la piscina
La neteja era molt bona però a vegades te la feien molt tard perquè es prioritzen entrades
Hotel bien situé permettant d’aller à pied au pied de Santa Monica et sur 3rd street promenade. Nombreux parkings autour de l’hôtel plus avantageux que le voiturier. On peut ensuite rejoindre très rapidement les autoroutes qui permettent de partir de Los Angeles
Le petit déjeuner assez basique
Excellent location. Nice to have a gym and swimming pool area. Breakfast being included helped out after three weeks travelling. Room spacious enough for a family of three. Complimentary coffee. Helpful staff.
Pool area could be cleaner.
Muy bien ubicado , bien en instalaciones,
El desayuno incluido , no lo Tomamos , comida procesada, y mucha azúcar
Wonderful
. Nothing
Las habitaciones amplias, muy limpias y el personal es muy amable
El desayuno, muy desprolijo,
De ligging, op loopafstand van de pier en tegenover een tramstation. Personeel was behulpzaam om een taxi te regelen. Alles was netjes.
Ontbijt was zeer beperkt en niet lekker, tweede ochtend ontbijt ergens anders gedaan.
Posizione comoda per il centro e il Pier
Parcheggio molto costoso e personale di servizio abbastanza maleducato
La posizione e la camera grande
L aria nelle zone comuni troppo fredda , la piscina è all ombra.

Posizione in centro con spiaggia raggiungibile a piedi, piscina, palestra. Sicurezza
Emplacement parfait, chambre propre et lits très confortables, jolie petite piscine et jacuzzi très propre avec serviettes à disposition

Petit déjeuner pas toujours au top Beaucoup de SDF autour de l établissement
外観の写真よりずっと良かった。ピアに近く、メトロが目の前、ロケーションは申し分ない。部屋は清潔で十分は広さがある。
朝食会場はあまり広くなく、混んでいる可能性が高い。他へ食べに出てもいいかも。
A szállás elhelyezkedése nagyon jó, pár száz méterre az oceán parttól. Santa Monica csodállatos.
Europai szemmel nézve snassz reggeli, műanyag pohár, műanyag evőeszköz, papir tányér, de ez más hasonló szállodákban is megfigyelhető az USA ban sajnos. Nem érdemes reggelit rendelni a szoba foglaláshoz. A szoba tiszta, de a komforttól messze áll.
Les chambres
Le petit déjeuner qui n’est vraiment pas à la hauteur Pas beaucoup De choix, que des aliments industriels pas de fruits frais découpés …des boissons bas de gamme surtout les jus de fruits ultra chimiques !
L'honnêteté du personnel !
Le manque de tables pour le breakfast et le manque de personnel pour encadrer les clients arrivant sur la salle de petit déjeuner. Salle sous dimensionnée.
Decoración, personal y ubicación
Estuvo súper bien
Lokalizacja i pokój
Bardzo słabe śniadanie. Jakość produktów to dramat stare bajgle nadawały się tylko do podgrzania Brak warzyw jajecznica z proszku brak wędlin a gofry po prostu wyłączyli bo za dużo ludzi chyba je robiło bo nie było co zjeść Zresztą na śniadaniu nie było gdzie usiąść. Klika stołków i bar na cały hotel. Syn po śniadaniu się zatruł i tyle. Basen również na folderze wygląda ok a jak poszliśmy to dramat brudno leżaki metalowe obskrobane nawet baliśmy się skorzystać.
Bons équipements, lits confortables, petit déjeuner sympa
Le ménage n'a pas été fait un matin dans notre chambre car le "do not disturb" était encore sur la porte à 8h (ce qui était le cas les autres jours et la chambre avait bien été faite...)

Posizione
No services, neither for breakfast where there was not cleaning services for the tables. Dark room with only a small window in front of the fitness room. Very high cost for the room and no services. Unpolite employees. Colazione in autogestione, senza alcun servizio, nemmeno di pulizia tavoli. Camera buia e con una unica e piccola finestra verso la palestra, nonostante l'elevatissimo costo a notte, personale non accogliente.
I am writing this review based strictly on my pre-arrival communication with the property, which is vital information for future guests who may need assistance prior to checking in. Due to a personal emergency, I reached out to the hotel six days prior to my arrival to request a modification to my dates. Unfortunately, the communication from the management was highly concerning. Initially, the hotel provided inaccurate information, stating they had no ability or authority to assist me and directing me back to the booking platform. The booking platform's support team clarified that the hotel does, in fact, retain full control over booking modifications. After this initial exchange, the hotel ceased all communication. The booking platform sent three separate formal requests on my behalf over the course of several days, and the hotel ignored all of them. They also ignored my direct messages asking for a simple confirmation of their decision. While I cannot speak to the quality of the physical rooms, future guests should be aware that if you encounter an issue or need to communicate with management prior to your stay, the customer service and responsiveness are virtually non-existent.
Bardzo dobrą lokalizację lokalizacja.
Brak konkretnych informacji ze strony pani w recepcji.
The room was a good size, but that was the only thing I liked about the accommodation. The soundproofing was terrible—I could hear everything from the room above and the room next door.
The hotel is located right on the edge of a neighborhood with significant social challenges. From the hotel, you can clearly see life unfolding on the other side of the railway tracks, and homeless people often remain on the sidewalk near the entrance. I found it particularly unsettling that the breakfast room is fully visible from the street. Sitting there enjoying breakfast while people outside appear to be struggling creates a rather uncomfortable contrast. The only staff member who genuinely made me feel welcome was a mature gentleman working the morning shift. The rest of the team were polite but seemed disengaged and lacked the warmth one hopes to find in hospitality. Overall, the hotel left me with a rather sad feeling. It’s a property with real potential, and I believe that, with stronger leadership and a greater focus on both the guest experience and staff engagement, it could become a much more welcoming place.
La ubicación
El desayuno y la información poco clara
The hotel was clean. The beds were very comfortable and I love the location.
Some of the items in the room were a bit dated and I wish the TV was bigger or mounted on the wall. We had two queens and if you’re in the bed next to the window, it’s hard to see the TV. The guy at the front desk upon checking out, seemed very uninterested and was very dismissive and rude. He took my key and didn’t say anything. I asked him about the final cost. He just seemed very uninterested in being there the gentleman at the valet was a lot more cheerful
Flott ki-és becsekkolás, nagyok hamar visszajött a kaució. Tisztaság volt, minden nap takarítottak, kávéfőző a szobákban illetve a recepciónál korlátlan kávé és tea. A reggeli jó volt, bár hiányzott a zöldség. A környéken sok a hajléktalan, drogos, de kulcskártyával nyílt a szálloda ajtaja illetve mindig volt biztonsági őr is, semmi probléma nem volt. Nagyon közel található egy Target és a metró az utca túloldaláról indul LA downtown-ba.
Pas tres loin de la plage
Très cher PDJ honteux pour le prix de la nuit (400€)
FRENTE A ESTACION DE METRO, MUCHO RUIDO MALAS CAMAS
The facilities were nice.
Confusing experience with billing and check in. Booking.com says I need to contact the hotel for the invoice but I got told the opposite. The first hotel I've ever been to where I had to leave without one. They also double charged me for the booking.
Établissement correct. Chambre propre et spacieuse. Idéalement situé
Honteux en 2026 de servir un petit déjeuner avec des couverts en plastique et des assiettes en carton. Et le petit déjeuner est vraiment vraiment pas bon.
Localização
O pequeno almoço é fraco, o estacionamento é estupidamente caro. A poucos metros, há um parque muito mais barato (PS7). Staff não é muito simpático
Very much did I, Very clean and inviting
I loved the art and extra secure on the elevators were you have to use key code
I liked How clean my room was and modern, the beds were extremely comfortable.The food was exceptional in the dining room as well
Nothing
Posizione molto vicina al Pier, alla stazione e al cuore di Santa Monica. Personale veramente gentile
Nel complesso molto bello, alcuni arredi della stanza erano abbastanza usurati(bagno, divano)
Good service and support because I had some troubles on check out time, the hotel helped me on that. Also perfect day on hot tube with my baby. Good location just in front of metro.
Bed was not so confortable, breakfast finished 10am but I was still trying to eat something.
Die Lage war sehr gut
Das Frühstück war furchtbar, Essen von Papptellern mit Plastik Besteck Spätestens um 07:00 muss das bitte nicht Stören Schild von der Tür entfernt werden ansonsten gibt es kein Zimmer Service! Hilfe beim Gepäck gibt es keine ! Parken kostet 65$ am Tag excl. Steuern Die Klimaanlage bzw. Belüftung kann man nie ganz abdrehen ! Die Fenster kann man nicht öffnen! Als wir als vierköpfige Familie an der Rezeption nach Klopapier gefragt haben wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass das Klopapier leider aus ist! Es wird auf Booking.com in den Kommentaren immer geschrieben dass Fahrrad für 4 Stunden ausborgen gratis ist -> das ist leider eine Lüge
na doručku, nema odvajanja otpada - plastični pribor i čaše, kartonski tanjuri, biootpad - sve se baca u isti kontejner također, nema nikakvih narezaka za doručak (sir, šunka i sl) mali problem su i brojni beskučnici koji se motaju oko ulaza navečer
Great location! And comfortable
The floors were the only thing that didn’t look very clean in the room
The location was great. Very central and waking distance from Santa Monica Pier and the Mall. Jacuzzi, gym and metro across the road were an advantage.
The breakfast options. Some green salad, cucumber and tomatoes would have been nice options for the digestion. The advertised price to what I paid were inconsistent! They didn’t clean our room everyday and we also made sure to take the sign off!
Alles, einfach super

I recently stayed at the Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica for five months on a work assignment. Living in a hotel for that long can be challenging, but the entire team there made it an absolute pleasure. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly from day one. Their warm, accommodating nature truly helped make my extended stay feel like a genuine home away from home. Special thanks to: Ian, Matt, Guinevere, Claribel, Darlene, Trevon, and Alicia. Also a huge shout out to the fantastic parking crew who took great care of me and my car every single day! You all rock especially Kai, Michael, Jorge, and Carlos!!!!
Tisztasàg, gyorsasàg a személyzet részéről.
A szoba feletti területen hajnali 3-ig túl nagy hangoskodàs volt, talàn tisztító személyzet volt. Illetve az esti recepciós nem volt segítőkész...
Só close to the Center
Breakfast was good
There was a gentleman on the reception the next morning, very nice man, very professional and he has made our visit more pleasant than it would have been. He helped us get the coins for laundry and apologized for accident next morning, by reducing rate. Breakfast was good, you wouldn’t think at the first glance but was actually healthy and coffee/ tea is complementary. Location is great, just 200m from the Pier, we loved it.
Several things actually; too pricy hotel for what you get. At the check in, there was the rudest lady behind the desk, fed up with us, with life I assume. My husband was not allowed to do check in on my name, he waited more than 2 hrs in the lobby as arriving before us. She was very arrogant even when I arrived. It was on 25.6.2026 around 4pm. Managers should organize some customer service behavior trainings. In the morning we got a leakage in the bathroom through the sink out of nowhere. We had like 10 second to pick up our belongings before dirty water going over. The plumber came as this is normal thing, so I assume it is happening regularly, probably they were cleaning upper floor and it broke out.
ホテルの設備、スタッフの対応がよく、快適に過ごせました。
周辺の治安があまりよくないようでした。 (エントランスの出入りがルームキーで管理されていたので、ホテル内で不安に感じることはありませんでした!)
Clean and good location
I was very disappointed with my stay, especially considering the price of this hotel. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was lacking. The valet staff did not acknowledge us at all, and I actually had to go inside and ask whether the valet service even belonged to the hotel because no one greeted or assisted us. The front desk experience was no better and had an attitude. The staff was not welcoming or friendly. They simply stared at us when we walked in, and I had to initiate the conversation by saying I was there to check in. The breakfast was also disappointing and did not meet expectations for a hotel at this price point.
Excelente ubicación Gran servicio en el Front
Todo Nos gustó
The location was first class. You are a stones throw from the metro which is a direct line into downtown LA. Great size room with very comfortable beds and facilities. Very pleasant staff and an overall chilled vibe.
Breakfast was a bit of a let down though, not the greatest of selections. The use of paper plates and plastic cutlery felt a bit cheap and lazy. Could do with a change machine in the laundry for quarters, was advised on a couple of occasions that the reception didn't carry them and you'd need to get them from a shop nearby. Minor gripe, didn't affect the stay.
Great atmosphere, very clean room
Emplacement ideal, personnel sympathique !
Oreillers pas du tout confortables. Prix du parking de l’hôtel bcp trop élevé (surtout en voyant combien on paye deja le sejour). Nous nous sommes garés dans un parking public à 7 min à pied de l’hotel (bcp moins cher (Civic Center Parking Structure)
La ubicación
A very disappointing visit. On the morning of June 13th, I encountered customer service that was far below acceptable standards—the receptionist was openly hostile and lacked any basic courtesy. Furthermore, their financial and administrative processes are a complete mess. I was handed an invoice with incorrect billing details (wrong buyer information), and to make it worse, the amount they actually charged to my card was calculated incorrectly and differed from the issued invoice. A total lack of competence on every level.

Location and cleanliness
Breakfast has very limited options
It was very clean, rooms big, staff very attentive and breakfast was really good; lots of close restaurants
It has nothing to do with the property but all the extra taxes was a bit of a surprise to me although I’m pretty sure I read about it when booking, it just added more than I anticipated.
Céntrico, todo limpio, nuevo
Sehr gute Lage. Parkplätze in Tiefgarage.
You can enjoy a variety of complimentary breakfast items. Also, there is a laundromat with two washing machines and two dryers. Each machine costs 4 dollars and requires quarters,but you can get change at the reception.
None
Großes Zimmer, sehr zentral
Frühstück auf Papptellern
Good location, easy check in and helpful staff.
Jacuzzi wasn’t working, very small towels: bath sheets would be better.

El PARKING ES CARISIMO TE FICRN WUF 65 & Y LUEHO TE SÑSDEN 12 & DE TSX, OSEA CASI 80 & ES MUCHO. BUSCAR POF LOS SLREDORES MUCHO MAS ECONOMICO!!! EL DESAYUNO MALO, Y ADEMAD NO HAY ESPACIO , LA GENTE DE PUED DESAYUNANDO.
Thank you
Otelin kahvaltısı güzeldi. Yatak rahatlığı ve temizliğide gayet iyiydi. Sürekli lobide kahve ve çay ikramdı. Güvenli hissediyorsunuz, tekrar kalınabilir.
Yürüme çoğu yere gidilmiyordu, sadece Santa Monica iskelesine yürünüyordu.
La ubivacion esta muy buena
te obligan a pagar 65 dolares por valet parking... esto no lo dicen al momento de pagar el hotel. El desayuno viene incluido pero es malisimo.
Wonderful location, and the hotel offering breakfast was very helpful. Breakfast was very good as well. The room was spacious and comfortable.

Tres bon hôtel belle chambre confortable tres bonne literie au calme. Distributeur de boissons chaudes a l'accueil tres appréciable (café thé chocolat). Le petit déjeuner est correct tres bon jus d'orange il a le mérite d'exister cest tres appréciable car aux Us peu d'hôtel le propose 😁 bien situé tres proche des plages 10mn a pied, des liaisons de bus tout a côté pour sillonner.. le trajet 1dollar par personne pour aller a Los Angeles 1h de bus mais cest agréable 👍 il ya le train métro direct pour le musée d'histoire naturelle superbe ..en bas de l'hôtel un atout ..un balcon top pour prendre le café..pleins de restaurant autour à quelques minutes a pied ..supérette a proximité immédiate. La plage Venice beach a 10mn en bus superbe. Si je dois revenir a Los Angeles je reviendrai avec plaisir dans cet hôtel 👍 pas de supplément a la sortie..
La proximité des sans abris pas mal mais la Sécurité de l'hôtel est top cartes pour rentrer..vite plein pour les places du petit déjeuner mais cela reste assez fluide les places se libèrent ..Caution élevée 480 dollars pour 6 nuits mais non débitée ..
