"Room was clean that was only positive about the entire stay. We checked in and the front desk staff was on an FaceTime call the entire time. We were put in a single queen bed room. After stating we booked a double, we were told they would upgrade us. Not sure why we wouldn’t get what we booked and prepaid for. When we got there they charge a resort fee. Not sure why because this hotel has no resort amenities. The lobby is tiny. There are no amenities there. The beds in the hotel squeak with every move. You can hear people walking above you. The AC unit is turned on by a breaker box. The water pressure is a trickle and the hot water is well warm at best. They don’t even give you an option to park anywhere else. Come to find out they use a parking a garage near the hotel which they paid $10 for and charged us $41. Day 2 and the manager was having a heated discussion with an employee in the lobby. Super uncomfortable. If you are looking for a place to just sleep, then it may be perfect for you. But if you are looking for a resort type hotel this is very basic and definitely not worth the price we paid. This was $75-$100 quality vs the $360 they charged with the resort fee and valet parking. More of a city vibe than a beach hotel."

"Terrific location right on Pacific and Santa Monica pier. Staying in balcony room and the balcony was incredibly large with ocean view! Restaurant was great for breakfast."

"Nice and clean. 5 min walk from pier "

"If you are headed to Santa Monica/LA this is definitely the place to stay. It is reasonably priced, the staff is incredibly friendly, the amenities are so nice, the food at the restaurant is to die for but most importantly everything is CLEAN! It’s been a long time since I’ve stayed at a hotel that hits all of the important factors in a stay. I have absolutely no complaints about the property and my entire stay. I highly recommend and ocean view room, the views are incredible! You almost don’t ever have to leave the hotel! The pool is beautiful, the restaurant is open for all 3 meals, and you have everything you could need. Our stay included access to bikes at no additional cost which was also really cool! Could not recommend this hotel more, you won’t be disappointed!"

"10 out of 10, would definitely recommend! Pierside's location is perfect. Within walking distance to so many eateries and shopping at the 3rd ST Promenade. Sophia was so pleasant at check-in and the staff is very accommodating. We received a complimentary hour on the electric bikes, which was a fun activity. If I'm ever in the area again, this will be my first choice!"

"Location to san monica pier is the allure, staff was nice and it suited the need"

"I traveled here for business. Some aspects were amazing (bars/dining areas) with amazing service and others were disappointing (pool, pool service, room)."
