Top Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Home2 Suites By Hilton Woodland Hills

8/10 Good

"Love the breakfast"

Malibu Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Just a classic, well run, nice hotel. Staff was excellent. Location is so cool. Restaurant is solid. Coffee was exceptionally good every morning."

Hilton Garden Inn Calabasas

10/10 Excellent

"I was very pleased with the cleanliness of my room. The staff at the front desk was very nice and helpful when we checked in. I felt very welcomed."

Courtyard by Marriott Thousand Oaks Agoura Hills

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed at this location many times. In fact, most of my projects are 20 to 30 minutes away from this hotel, but I choose to stay here for all of the qualities that they continue to provide. On my most recent visit, the young woman working at the counter, her name was Tori. She was absolutely flawless with her customer service skills. After I checked into my room, I realized that there was a guest in the next room that would more than likely disrupt my stay. I went down to the counter and asked Tori if she could accommodate me in moving me to a different location. Without hesitation, she graciously jumped in and found me a different room on an upper floor. From that point forward, my stay was flawless as always. Tori reminded me of some of the customer service we once received at nearly every business 20-years ago. I will continue to stay at this location whenever possible."
