Every time I stay at the Sovereign I am always impressed with the diligent customer service and communication with the team. Jen, Jill and Ryan are such gracious hosts and immediately respond to requests. The rooms are lovely and spacious, the grounds extremely well-kempt, and the proximity to the beach cannot be beat. I love sitting on the front patio, staring at the ocean through the trees. The constant breeze is both refreshing and soothing. Can’t wait to stay again on our next trip to Santa Monica!

Large, bright, and clean. Historic building but modernized. Convenient location. On street or garage parking. Street parking was not an issue, but like all cities you may have to park a block or two away.

The hotel was lovely and in a great location. We were within walking distance to the Pier, beach and restaurants. The parking was a little difficult due to it being on street parking.

No A/C was the biggest issue, only ceiling fans. It's hot. The place is right by the beach, many food choices around, street parking is available first come first serve. The staff are so nice and friendly. Place is clean and nice..Only the A/Situation.

As someone who travels 30 weeks a year for work, I can honestly say this was the best experience I have had in years. Easy check in, amazing property and room, location 10/10. I want to move in here. Perfect for work or vacation. Fast internet, full kitchen, a block from the beach, 3 blocks to Promenade. Can’t say enough good things.

Excellent location in Santa Monica. Realize when you book this is not a typical hotel. No service in room entire time you are there. No A/C although overhead fans work well. Full kitchen a plus if you need/ want that. Lovely gardens to sit in behind gated area.

Our room had no A/C. The fan in bathroom did not work. After three days, I asked manager to have our trash removed and clean towels. I was told the “guests need to throw their own trash”. Our room windows, had to stay open to cool down room. Windows looked out on the alleyway where dumpster was. We listened to the lid banging all night long! Parking on the street was a constant struggle. No restaurants/coffee shops within 4 blocks. Definitely not worth the price!

What a beautiful property! We stayed 10 nights in June 2026 in a studio. The whole time we were there we just kept saying how we lucked out finding this wonderful place to stay. Highlights: The room was beautiful with a king bed, full bathroom with sink/tub and a separate sink area outside of the bathroom, dining table, and full kitchen with plates, pans, etc. Check-in was smooth and we were able to access our room a few hours early, which was much appreciated after arriving on an early morning flight. The beach was easy to walk to, although be aware that reaching the beach requires taking a walking path that crosses a highway, so there are some inclines, stairs, etc. Laundry on property and management thoughtfully has rolls of quarters available in exchange for cash. Laundry facilities were clean and in good working order. Internet was great. The property itself is absolutely beautiful, with bright flower beds. water features, a cute library area, etc. Very small negatives: The elevator is old and slow, but we appreciated that one existed at all as we were on the 5th floor so we used it for suitcases. laundry, etc. This property is a previous hotel that was turned into an apartment complex and is now becoming a hotel again. There was no mid-stay cleaning service, which was fine, but I would have appreciated the ability to exchange towels for clean ones instead of washing them myself. Very small inconvenience in an overall great stay. Highly recommend!
