Top Camera Obscura Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"We had the best time there!"

Ocean Lodge Santa Monica Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had to get this hotel last minute and I am a review reader and only had a few days to review and book. I am so glad I booked Ocean Lodge. The staff was super friendly from the front desk person to the cleaning person to the maintenance/landscape person. They said hello every time you walked by them. Check-in was super easy and everything was explained clearly. They had coffee and tea every day and snacks such as cookies but the office had to be open but that wasn’t a problem because I drink coffee in the morning. They also had an ice machine and a water machine outside of the office. Their place is secure with locking gates at every entrance to floors so we felt safe. The rooms were great!! The beds were comfortable, the shower was hot and great pressure and they freshened up the room and provided clean towels and wash cloths every day! The parking was small and $38.99 a day, but we used the parking lot next door and the parking meters. We did have a hard time finding parking some nights because of the restaurant next door but it’s public parking and not their fault. The location is amazing!! A block and half from the pier and the beach and the walk to the beach was easy and there was no walking traffic slowing us down to the water!! I one thousand percent recommend Ocean Lodge for your stay in Santa Monica!"
