I got an email saying I may be upgraded at my check in. Little did I know that I was going to be charged for it. Secondly, $78 to park overnight? Ridiculous, like the $40 amenities charge for something I was never going to use during my 15 hour stay. Lastky, I texted the Valet parking to bring my car to the front of the hotel before I checked out. Shocker, the car wasn’t there. Either the valet driver had been sleeping or just didn’t care. Oh, one last thing. Santa Monica has changed big time since my last stay in January 2020. The amount of homelessness and empty store fronts is as bad as San Francisco. Don’t sleep with your windows open either as the homeless love to yell all night about whatever. Won’t be going back in a hurry.

Viceroy Santa Monica Jan 2025p

Checked in on time, but the partial ocean view room was on 3rd floor with view mostly of parking lot and buildings. Called to get it changed and no one answered. Called again and they said there were no other rooms available -even without the partial ocean view. Hard to believe as it's quite big and we checked in early. No coffee maker in room and coffee in the lobby is $6. Pool was too cold whereas down the street people were swimming in their pool. Well decorated and good food. Comfortable beds and clean. Some staff very friendly, others cold. Will try another place next time.

Nice hotel, but I have some reservations

Nice hotel, but several hidden charges you must pay at check in. The area around the hotel is not the nicest, so it’s a bit too pricey for what you actually get. Swimming pool area is tiny.

Probably a 3-3.5 star hotel

The pros are location, clean, friendly staff, small bottles of water available in lobby, nice vanity mirror/area, fridge. Cons are no coffee in the room, no glasses in the room to get a drink, carpet was old. We are up early and had to wait for something to open to get coffee.

The hotel is in a great location but missing a lot of basics — no coffee in room and none at lobby, coffee bar has 6$ coffeee but long wait times. Internet is poor and spotty and disconnects after a day. Dog friendly property so hard to get a good nights rest. Will not return
