First of all - great location, just few steps from Santa Monica Pier. Close to centre. Very clean rooms (no balcony). Free Internet in lobby and valet parking. Minus - we left something in our room before check out and learnt it being 200 km from Los Angeles. It was hard to get any help from the receptionist, they just... more

Excellent location - literally across the street from The Pier. Great ocean view. Excellent staff - excellent valet parking (fast, courteous, helpful), nice rooms. more

We stayed at the Holiday INn Santa Monica while in town for a long weekend from Washington, DC. The hotel is not a 5 Star hotel in any sense but it is pretty much within walking distance to anything you need to see in Santa MOnica. It's also located directly off of the Santa Monica Freeway so getting to and... more

We stayed just the one night prior to our flight home from LAX. We found the hotel to be clean and comfortable and staff... more

We needed a hotel in Santa Monica for our wedding weekend and this was just perfect. The room was a nice size, *very* clean, offered a variety... more

As with most of the reviews I'm going to have to echo the fact that this hotel is located in a great position for walking around Santa Monica. Very close to 3rd street promenade, which has great shopping and dining options, as well as Santa Monica pier. We stayed here for the last 3 days of our trip to CA... more

I was looking for a room that had a good location, clean, and value. this place had it all. Parking garage across the street will save you more than half. more
