Hotel Carmel for the win!

Super convenient location, close to the beach and the 3rd street promenade. Hotel was clean, room enough for 5 in the 2 room suite, seemed to be recently painted and new floors. I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the choice. Very reasonably priced
Andrew, 4-night trip

Best location!

We LOVED the proximity to the beach, pier, & places to eat. Room was a little small but we weren’t there to sit in the room all day. I would stay there again for sure if back in Santa Monica!

Location-location-location!

Great location - walking distance to pier, shopping and dining. Valet was super busy so there was a slight delay in parking, but retrieval was within minutes.

Alex, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Valet parking was great, walking distance to the beach was perfect, the room was nice a little small, but it was nice and comfortable Our window was facing the street so it was a little noisy with the traffic and people walking all in all the day was great
Christina, 2-night trip

Prefect location. Friendly staff. Clean rooms
Marta, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, very cheap valet parking and fees, yes the hotel is a little dated and our room was above a bar so noisey at night but for what is cost you can’t complain!
H, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Love the location

I really want to love this place. The interior of the room was clean and I really liked the decor and the space in the room was comfortable. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The AC never got below 75 in the room though, and was often hotter, which made it pretty stuffy. The location was fabulous. I walked 2 blocks to the pier to watch the sunset both nights. I enjoyed walking the beach. It was a very walkable area. The housekeeping staff was really friendly. Front desk service was nice at check in, the rest of the time it was ok but not overly attentive. The carpets on the stairs and hallways appeared dirty. Overall, the location made it with the stay.
Nicola, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I've stayed here before and it's a great spot! It's close to entertainment and dining on the Promenade and the Pier. And the facility is very nice and clean
Daniel, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Looks great online but dated interior. Great location and price for nightlife… which was a negative in our case since it’s noisy and inconvenient for a family passing through with late arrival and early departure during a roadtrip.
Matt, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very friendly and accommodating
Molly, 2-night trip

Cute, older, but well-kept hotel in the heart of Santa Monica. Walk to beach, restaurants, entertainment. Very clean. Rose at reception is a sweetheart. Would definitely stay there again.
