The location was good, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I got there early and hoped to be able to check in early, which did not go well at all. They did hold my luggage for me while I explored the area.

What I liked about this hotel is that it is in a great location and the property is new and clean. What I did not like is that there is no microwave in the room and there is no fridge in the room. Also there is no free bottled water in the room or in the entire hotel (unlike most other hotels).

Our stay at the Ocean View hotel in Santa Monica was truly wonderful from the moment we arrived we were welcomed into a warm and friendly atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The hotel is not only beautifully maintained, but also exceptionally clean which added to our comfort and peace of mind throughout the day. A special highlight of our visit was encountering Joy who was incredibly attentive and kind her friendly, demeaning, genuine hospitality truly stood out and made our experience even more memorable. It’s always a comfort to stay in a place where the environment is so beautiful and welcoming we look forward to returning and highly recommend Ocean View Hotel to anyone visiting Santa Monica.

When I checked into the hotel, no one explained anything about a destination fee. Upon checkout, I was surprised to find an additional charge of over $100. I didn’t understand why. When I finally asked about it, I was told it covered the use of the gym and bicycles, which I never used. But they still NOT Despite this, they still charged me.” I feel like I shouldn’t stay this kind of hotel anymore. I have to careful choosing Hotel.
