I was traveling alone and wanted somewhere close to everything in Santa Monica and the Ocean View HOtel did not disappoint. Fantastic location right across from the beach and the pier and 3rd St Prom. The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly and I had a room with a ocean view which was just beautiful. The price compared to... More

You are definitely paying for location and views here… The hotel itself was an older hotel, compared to some in the area but it has been maintained well and in good condition, the décor and fittings however dated. But that shouldn’t be a reason not to choose this hotel. The view from our room was great, we had clear views... More

Hotel was great. It was centrally located in front of Santa Monica beach and pier. It looks older than other hotels within its surrounding, however, I can't complain on the location. The hotel room was clean, with few minor dents on the shower. The bed was comfortable and the balcony was perfect for seeing the pier. If planning to come... More

This is the second time I've stayed here as it is the best value hotel in Santa Monica. The location is ideal being directly across the road fom the beach and one block from the pier. It is within a short walk to excellent shopping & restaurants. It it not the newest hotel in the area, but is well kept,... More

Reasonably priced property in the best location in Santa Monica. Joy at the front desk was helpful in giving directions and providing guidance to local attractions. Rooms are clean and the ocean view balconies provide sunset views galore. Parking fee reasonable but the lot is difficult to maneuver. Overall a bargain in a very expensive neighborhood. More

Obvisoulsy not the best in area but a hotel which my bf and adored. To be woken up by the fresh gentle breeze, calm ocean sounds and pleasant sea views will always be a winner for us! Addition, Ocean gave us 10% of Jinky's breakfast. More

Stayed there for 3 nights, a no frills hotel but beautifully located virtually just over the road from Santa Monica pier. Room was musty, old and needed updating. definitely would pay the extra for an ocean view otherwise you look at an alley way or airconditioning units. Staff meant well and were generally helpful but was dubious about their suggestions.... More

Rooms were clean, location great. Yvonne at the front desk could not have been more accomodating. In a moments notice, she came up with an available room, and great pricing! Could'nt have been more pleased! Thank you Yvonne More

Came upon this hotel by chance and am really glad we stayed there. On Ocean Avenue, right opposite the pier with good restaurants nearby, this hotel is good value for money, except for the $20 a night parking, and friendly staff. Room was large and comfortable with a good en-suite bathroom. Santa Monica is is one of the nicer LA... More
