We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Ocean View Hotel in Santa Monica! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Heidi, who was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Her kindness really set the tone for our visit. A few months ago, we had the same exceptional experience with Joy, which is the main reason we decided to return to this hotel. We were delighted to see her again as we were leaving — she was just as pleasant, friendly, and genuine as she was during our first stay. Encounters like these truly make us feel at home, and we now consider this hotel our home away from home whenever we’re in Santa Monica. The only thing that could make our stay even better would be if the rooms had a microwave for added convenience, and perhaps an incentive program for repeat guests, such as complimentary parking. These small touches would be the perfect finishing detail to an already outstanding experience. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with the service, hospitality, and comfort at the Ocean View Hotel. We will definitely be back!

Location is excellent. Rooms are pretty tiny, double beds are tough for 2 people to share. One of our two rooms smelled horribly like smoke. Location is about the only plus about this hotel.

The hotel was clean, well kept, and had a nice view of the beach. However, getting a hold of the front desk was difficult and inconvenient. Not all charges were included and we ended paying more than we expected.

I’ve stayed at this hotel twice now and both experiences have been amazing. We’ve stayed with 2 dogs before and it was an easy check in and out. It is right across the street from the Santa Monica boardwalk and has a ton of restaurants and shops nearby you can just walk to. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. I love their showers!! There is minor noise which is normal anywhere. The front desk staff is so nice and polite and always helpful. This is for sure my go to hotel while in Santa Monica.

I stay at Ocean View Hotel every three months for business, and it never disappoints. The service is consistent, the location is perfect, and the ocean-view rooms with private balconies are unbeatable for the price. The front desk staff are some of the nicest and most accommodating people you’ll meet. If you don’t need extras like a pool or spa, this boutique hotel is a go-to.
