Top Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Woodland Hills by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Hilton Woodland Hills / Los Angeles

10/10 Excellent

"Second time staying here and it was as good as the first time. Check in was fast, room was clean and comfortable, staff was friendly. Close location to nearby shopping mall."

Hilton Garden Inn Calabasas

8/10 Good

"Bed not comfortable, I would ask for a pet free room if I ever stayed there again. I think the smell I noticed on day one and was present in hallways everyday I was there was related to pets allowed on property. Took forever to get extra coffee supplies and even though I didn't need maid service for the three days I stayed, they never cleaned the room or took the trash out. They told me it would not be every day but never.....? Weird"

Sheraton Agoura Hills Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice property stay here many times!!!"
