Front desk gentlemen was terrible. He didn’t greet me for over 7 minutes. He wasn’t on the phone and no one was in line. It was just me standing there until I asked him if he was available to check me in. It was so disappointing and uncharacteristic for Marriott. It will definitely give me pause prior to ever booking one of their properties again.

The room was clean. The area is so dirty and unsafe. Santa Monica has changed so much. So many businesses and restaurants closed. It remained of San Francisco union Square and not in a good way. I didn’t care for the mandatory valet parking which amounts to $70.00 per day. Wow. On the positive the staff was very nice and attentive. The hotel is so close to the Santa Monica pier and the beach.

Great Hotel

The hotel itself was fantastic, pool and jacuzzi are great and there are chairs to sit and watch the sunset over Santa Monica. Staff were very friendly and helpful! There are however, a LOT of homeless people taking and under the influence of drugs directly outside and around the hotel, which feels very uncomfortable and unsafe to be around.

Stayed w/friends for the USC vs MSU football game. It was a convenient location, close to great restaurants and the metro to easily get to and from LA Memorial Stadium. The buddy system is a must when walking around outside due to the large number of homeless people.

Disappointing

First, I must mention this is my first time traveling in 20+ years. I chose Courtyard by Marriott based on prior experience with the brand, but much has changed since then. Prior to arrival, I was not aware valet parking was pretty much mandatory, but that's on me. I should have done better research. The room was clean, with 1 king bed, an entertainment/desk/chair area, and a bright orange settee with metal table. The bathroom had a large shower. However, the lack of a shower seat and a door that was hard to push open/closed made it impossible for me to use. With a view directly on the spa area, the curtains remained closed at all times, making us feel closed in. The bed was so uncomfortable: under the thin pillow top was an overly firm mattress that caused pain on all pressure points. The fitted bottom sheet refused to stay in place, and the pillows were not supportive. The bed frame squeaked with the slightest movement. When the nearby fitness center was in use, the noise was loud within our room. Waterman's Café had seating for only 8 people at a time, limited hours, and limited staff, who were friendly but not always efficient. Healthy choices were greatly appreciated. Pets are merely tolerated at this hotel, with no facilities for dogs except a square of mulch in the sidewalk outside the building. Overall, the hotel was conveniently located, clean, and nicely decorated. The staff was friendly. Unfortunately, I do not plan to return for a future visit.
The only accommodation for dogs.
