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!

It's a good property. It's right across the street from the beach. The room is everything you need and nothing you don't. Main gripes is the internet is horrible, I come out here for work and try new hotels all the time and I had to leave to do my after-hours video calls at Starbucks and other coffee shops. It's really really bad. Also the sound travels a ton between rooms, I was woken up twice at 4am by my neighbor above me seemingly riverdancing. I informed the front desk both times and I think they called and resolved it, but sound travels a lot in the space. All in all, it's totally fine. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are clean. The location is great. Just don't go there expecting great internet and complete solitude. It may have been a one off experience though, but I won't be booking there again.

This hotel was great! Loved that it was across the street from the beach and pier. Loved that they had a room with a belcony. Loved that it was also located within walking distance to the mall and so many dining options. It was also great that after i left i forgot a dress in the closet and i was able to get it back! The only down side is that the only parking is valet and it was pretry pricey! We'll be back!

Not enough amenities for the price. No pool, no workout area, no breakfast. Overall it is a nice hotel. Besides the broken ironing board in our room it was a nice spot! Customer service was great! Valet was cool too! Room was nice and clean and the oceanview was nice.

Ocean views, clean hotel, centrally located

This hotel was conveniently located right across from Santa Monica Beach and offered plenty of places to eat within walking distance. Hotel was clean, staff friendly, and came with amazing ocean views. I rated a 4 star. The only two items to call out are the coffee downstairs, you're bettet off going to Starbucks, and the cleaning staff was very loud when cleaning rooms nearby. Other than this, I would absolutely stay here again and encourage others to check out this hotel, you will enjoy it!
