We stayed at the Best Western Gateway last week for 2 days, and we were very pleased. The staff- all staff was extremely nice, the room was nice and clean.Having underground parking and not paying for it ,was very convinient. The hotel provides shutle to downtown, but the last pick up is at 8pm. I would totally reccomend renting a... more

This centrally located hotel is fine except I spent a nearly sleepless night because of the traffic noise from Santa Monica Blvd. which was right outside my window. The next morning I got up, opened the curtains and discovered that the window had been left open about 1.5 inches. If I had noticed it the night before I would have... more

Although this hotel is located 16 or so blocks from the beach, the price was good, the rooms were clean, and it fit our needs. The hotel is located on a busy street corner, but there was enough parking and we felt safe in this location. The lighting was sufficient at night and we had no complaints. Just wish it... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel while visiting family in Santa Monica. The free parking was much appreciated and there was an IHop next door for convenience. The room was clean with two beds and my husband enjoyed the flat screen tv. The bathroom was updated and clean. We were looking for a clean and reasonable place to... more

This was reported to reception who promised air fresheners but nothing was done. Service was generally a bit poor as when requesting... more

The hotel is very nice, offering free parking space that is a big plus since other hotels charge up to 30 $ per night. The room was very nice decorated, with king size bed... more

Although this wasn't a large hotel, we found it a little impersonal and lacking character. The reservations desk and lobby were quite small but check-in went smoothly. Self-parking was available underneath at no cost, but the parking spaces were a bit tight. Our room was comfortable, clean and everything else was pretty straightforward. It overlooked office blocks which seemed to... more

We were really happy with our recent stay at this hotel. We arrived after an 11 hour flight from London, very tired, and were extremely happy with our choice on arrival. The staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient. Our room was extremely clean and the bed was very comfortable. The room also had great facilities such as a wide... more

We stayed at the Gateway hotel for 4 nights in May 2009. This was our first visit to LA and this hotel in Santa Monica served as a good base to explore the city. The hotel is about 15-20 minutes walk away from the main centre of Santa Monica but there is a free shuttle into the town on the... more
