Hotels near Santa Monica Place

"Stayed with my wife and 2 kids (12,7). Great location with easy access to local attractions, good pool for the kids, and great restaurant for adults to sneak away. "

"Rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. My only complaint is the air conditioning defaulted (or was reset by housekeeping) to 74 degrees during the day while we were out. It was way too hot to sleep. One of the problems with the mini-split is my friends were freezing in the bed next to it while I was too hot on the other side. "

"Yes, the hotel itself is beautiful—bright, stylish, and perfectly located—but what really makes this place special is the people. Both times, I had the most genuine, heart-filled conversations with the women at the front desk. The kind of interactions that don’t feel transactional at all—just real human connection. Without me ever asking, I was upgraded to a lovely suite on both stays. This last visit, Greta went above and beyond. After our conversation, she asked if my friend and I liked wine (I said yes to a good red), and when we got to the room, she had already turned the sofa into a cozy bed and sent up a bottle of red wine, two glasses, desserts, and large bottles of water. It was such a thoughtful and personal touch. On my last day, I was able to thank her in person, and she shared that we had made her day after someone had been unkind to her. That moment really stayed with me—it says everything about the kind of people who work here. The Huntley isn’t just a gorgeous hotel—it’s full of genuinely kind, thoughtful humans. I’ll absolutely be back."

"Hotel is old, not clean and uncomfortable "

"We read the reviews. People are ridiculous to complain so much! Breakfast was 3 hot item with toast, bagels, waffles, cereal, oatmeal, variety of juice and yogurt. Plenty options, plus coffee bar open 24 hours. Yes the hotel is by the Tram, actually very convenient if you use it. Yes the odd homeless person, but we saw them throughout Santa Monica and police were monitoring the problem 24/7. Ok our balcony view was the Tram station.. and who cares for the price. Air conditioning works period, who cares if it’s a bit loud. We are seniors and absolutely loved our room, breakfast and the price! Oh almost forgot about the pool! Wonderful stay! "
