Our stay in the hotel was great . Neat and clean room and bathroom, friendly staff . But the main selling point for this hotel is its proximity to the Santa Monica pier and in the hub of all the happenings. We took the hop on hop off bus tours the first two days and the bus stop is just a few steps away . Evenings we just walked over to have dinner. Lot of good restaurants nearby. Good breakfast options like Jinky's cafe and blue daisy nearby. Overall a good trip. I would go back again 👍

We were charmed by the sweet card signed by the whole staff, welcoming us to the Ocean View to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. The hotel is clean as a whistle, and the view of the beach is awesome. Very comfortable bed & cozy robes.

My wife and I were able to book for a Friday night, last minute, to attend the Independent Spirit Awards, being held directly across Ocean Ave from the Big Tent. My wife requested an ocean-view room, which we were granted no problem, and at no extra charge than other rooms. The room was extremely clean, and beautifully furnished. Bed was very comfortable, AC/heat worked perfectly, all water pressure great. Very little noise of any kind. Amazing, being so close to Ocean Ave. Even low noise on our beach-facing balcony with Ocean Ave just 3 flights below. It was necessary to use the iron for my wife's dress, but as it had a crack where the water was filled, we asked for a replacement, which arrived in minutes and worked beautifully. We also were expecting a delivery of tickets and limousine instructions to arrive at the front desk, the morning of the event, and after alerting the front desk of the expected envelope's arrival, we were notified the very second it arrived. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with the location, room, and amenities. The service staff was equally great. Alyssa and David dealt with our requests for the most part, and were totally accommodating and comfortable with our needs. Very friendly and efficient. Will definitely have Ocean View on our listnext time we go to Santa Monica for a night or two. Thanks Ocean View folks!…

This was our first visit to Santa Monica, so we wanted to be near the pier to experience that for the first time. The hotel was perfect. The property was very clean with friendly staff. Proximity to the beach is unmatched, its literally across the street. You do hear noise from the outside, but they provide ear plugs that work perfectly. We didn't have issues w/ being kept up due to the noise, though it is present. Rooms were clean and comfortable for two. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

We stayed 4 nights in ocean view room with balcony. We enjoyed the courtesy bikes each day to ride along seafront. Great shopping and dining choices all in walking distance. No need to rent a car. We look forward to returning!
