Excellent location in Santa Monica. Realize when you book this is not a typical hotel. No service in room entire time you are there. No A/C although overhead fans work well. Full kitchen a plus if you need/ want that. Lovely gardens to sit in behind gated area.

What an amazing stay at The Sovereign! The room was super clean, spacious and the bed was comfy. Our host was nice and welcoming. The location is awesome, sale, clean, near shops and coffee but also, only 2 streets from the Santa Monica beach! Without any doubts we advise you The Sovereign!

As someone who travels 30 weeks a year for work, I can honestly say this was the best experience I have had in years. Easy check in, amazing property and room, location 10/10. I want to move in here. Perfect for work or vacation. Fast internet, full kitchen, a block from the beach, 3 blocks to Promenade. Can’t say enough good things.

Very comfortable and great location. But the price is steep relative to what you’re getting, no check in desk so late arrivals are awkward where you have to call/text to get keys. And the lack of daily housekeeping is not ideal. But it’s a very comfortable stay, and the street parking permit is a nice touch for this neighborhood. I love it, but it might not be for everyone.

Liked: Cleanliness
The suite we had was freshly decorated and furnished with good quality items. The king size bed was extremely comfortable. The cleanliness of the facility is obvious as soon as you enter the place. It’s not a normal hotel, more apartment suite complex — and so there are no on site amenities. We only encountered one member of staff at check-in, who was friendly, and apart from that we didn’t see any other staff. Upon check out there was nobody at the manager’s office or to answer the phone; not a problem as we’d prepaid — so we just posted the key back through the office door. I would definitely stay here again in Santa Monica as it’s one block back from Ocean in a very quiet area.
