just returned from santa monica and le merigot. we had room 530 with an courtyard and oceanview, which was great> for the price of the hotel, it would be tragic not to have that. We had breakfast at the hotel, which was ok, best bet was to go to Cora's cafe, just down the block from the hotel.. Terrific, saw... more

The hotel accommodations and the staff were excellent. The room was excellent and the bed was very comfortable. I stayed here years ago and really enjoyed it. It is a shame that someone managed to build a condo building that blocks most of the ocean views from the rooms and the public areas. The restaurants are great (not cheap however)... more

This was our second stay at the Le Merigot (7/19-7/21) and ironically we had the same room both times, 527. I have seen mixed reviews posted about this hotel and I can tell you that I have had nothing less than excellent service both times. The staff is overly friendly and accommodating. Every person we dealt with from the valet,... more

I really enjoyed my stay at Le Merigot. I was concerned at first after reading a few reviews here and thought that maybe I would have been better off booking next door at Loews. That concern slipped away the moment I entered the parking area of the Marriot. We were always greeted with a smile and "Welcome back" when ever... more

Dont stay at the Le Merigot, Santa Monica. Awful experience ! We have just returned from California and had booked two nights with the Marriott Santa Monica (June 26-28), making it clear that we had a baby and a child. Upon check-in (on June 26, after driving several hours from Monterey and before unloading all luggage from the car) the... more

Although clean and very nice staff - the hotel was not ocean front (we had a balcony that if we leaned over and looked sideways we could see some water), the spa was small and insignificant, and the area seemed very unsafe. The Santa Monica pier was unmemorable, Venus Beach is scary and I would not walk around the area... more

Le Merigot was a great choice for a home base on our trip to California. It was steps from the Santa Monica beach, a few blocks from shopping and restaurants in Santa Monica, a bike ride away from Venice Beach, and just down the road from Malibu, Beverly Hills and Hollywood. The staff was excellent and very knowledgeable. Our room... more

Travelled Mid April for a week chill out time with my 10 year old son. Lobby had amazing flowers but looked wilted. Room was fine, spacious and clean. Bathroom well equiped. Was on 6th floor wth a balcony and sea view. Great location if you want a walk into Santa Monica. Close to beach, would recommend hiring a bike for... more

I read some of the reviews here before going to this hotel and I must say I was very disappointed. The hotel itself looks very dated. The rooms need serious renovating. Everything looks old and worn.The beds however were very comfortable. For a hotel so close to the beach, they hardly have any rooms with ocean views. No ocean views... more
