I have stayed at Le Merigot many times for both work and leisure. It is expensive but the location is great; walk to the beach, Pier, Cora's Coffee Shop next door to hotel which is convenient for a quick lunch. The staff is very nice and helpful. We had a very large (2 king beds) corner room and ordered in... more

Tried this hotel on recent business trip, was so disappointed that I actually checked right out. The lobby and rooms and front desk staff feel like a Marriott Courtyard--this is not a JW in a resort setting at all. The pool is cramped, the lobby unfriendly, it is not a great hotel as others suggest. Try the Fairmount instead. more

Wow. They need to wipe the JW right off the sign on this one. Extraordinarily disappointing, all facets. The food was barely edible and every order we received had something in error. The AC in our room didn't work and they were incapable of fixing it until the next day...there is truly nothing like sweating your *ss off in a... more

Very nice location in the heart of Santa Monica. Right by the beach you can't go wrong. The room we got was pretty high end since we used our marriott points and they upgraded us free of charge to a room with a deck. So I can only speak to what we got. It was a beautiful room but I... more

Stayed at Le Merigot for business. Very nice /clean hotel. Rooms are large, flat screen tv's, large bathroom. Workout facility is nice - open air. more

We loved the location of this hotel. The rooms where amazing. The staff was so kind. As we are checking in we asked if we could see about making dinner plans. Not a problem! I would say if you wanted to stay close to the beach then stay here. more

The staff were extremely friendly in every instance. The room was beautiful and clean. the hotel itself has wonderful atomosphere. A short walk to the beach. but we didn't mind. We found it suitably close to 3rd street promenade where there's excellent shopping. The only reason I haven't given it a full 5 stars is because we unfortunately didn't have... more

As previous reviewers say the location a bit of a compromise as the hotel lacks the direct beach front location. Staff were very friendly, accommodating and informal which was a real highlight. The lobby and the bar are adequate but nothing special which was important as it wasn’t warm during our visit and the lovely outside space was rendered almost... more

We stayed here for several nights recently. We came for a beach trip but the weather didn't cooperate (it was in the low/mid 60s late in the spring, which is well below average). Oh well can't blame them for the weather... The service was really great, people were really friendly. The staff was really great. Actually went out of their... more
