Hilton Santa Monica

Very clean, modern and a calming vibe about the hotel. Valet parking was great. Rooms were nice with very comfortable beds.

Breakfast was expensive. We didn't feel comfortable walking to the pier from the hotel in evening/night. Lots of homeless people around pier area. Would prefer to stay further north, away from pier.

The design of the hotel is very nice. The rooms were beautiful, beds comfortable and location was very good. Staff was accommodating and they have a full service restaurant and bar which is nice. One of the only hotels I could find that had enough space for 2 adults and 3 teenagers. We stayed in a suite which had 2 queen beds and a separate living space with pull out sofa. It was perfect! Great location if you are ok to walk a short distance.

Our bathroom was not clean specifically the toilet! They have a poster in the lobby about cleanliness and covid precautions and state that a sticker would be applied to the door noting that the room was cleaned. There was none. When I called the front the desk to have the bathroom cleaned they quickly changed our room to the identical layout on a different floor. The staff was awesome. Location of hotel was easily walkable to shops and the wharf. It was a little bit noisy due to location of freeway. They only offer valet and no in and out privileges which was ok for us given our short stay but if we were to stay longer this would have been an issue.

The room was very comfortable, clean and spacious.

Santa Monica has become very dirty and sadly has many homeless. Did not feel safe walking around. The accomodation is expensive despite the comfort ( on a small note the hotel inflated their price for A Starbucks coffee by almost 80%)

This property is very convenient, clean and the suites are spacious enough for a family of 4! The pool is big enough during off season and the fitness center although minimum it was just enough! I’m short so the ceilings weren’t a problem for me but the ceilings in the fitness area are low! One of the high lights of the stay was checking in with Justin! He was absolutely amazing, informative and professional. Actually most the staff I had to encounter was delightful. Beach towels were another highlight but don’t forget your beach bag to carry them!

The prices of breakfast is pretty high but the food is really good. There’s a good breakfast spot near by called Jinky’s that fed my entire family for $50! It was just an 11 minute walk away. Also, skip valet and park in the garage across the street! It’s only $14 a night🥰 Another thing that would have made the stay better…A MICROWAVE in our room!

The locations is very good. Walking distance from the main streets. (or if you are biking even more convenient) There's also a bus station right outside of the hotel. We got upgraded to the suit so we had a small living area plus a bedroom which made the space feel specious. The Staff were very helpful and friendly. there was also a small balcony.

Not much of a view (at least from the room we got) The decor is a bit dated but super well maintained. Due to Covid - Room cleaning is offered only once every 3 days of the stay. and we only stayed for 3 days (you can get fresh towels and light maintenance if needed though). So it didn't bother us so much. and they were able to schedule the cleaning earlier for us so we can get our room fully cleaned at least once during the stay! :)

We recently had the opportunity to stay at the Hilton Santa Monica, and I would like to provide a review of my experience. While there were certain aspects of the hotel that I appreciated, there were also some areas that fell short of my expectations. Let's start with the positives. The location of the Hilton Santa Monica is undoubtedly its biggest asset. Situated just steps away from the beach and within walking distance of popular attractions like the Santa Monica Pier, the hotel offers convenience and easy access to the lively atmosphere of the area. The proximity to the ocean also provides beautiful views, especially from rooms facing the coastline.

Moving on to the rooms, I found them to be adequately comfortable, but they didn't quite meet the standard I expected from a Hilton establishment. The decor was dated and could benefit from a refresh, and the overall cleanliness of the room left something to be desired. Also the price per night was quite expensive maybe due to the location...

Excellent location for visitors wishing to visit most of the tourist attractions offered in Los Angeles. As a tourist you need a vehicle to get around in L.A. This location allows easy access by car to see Hollywood, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Paramount Studios, The Getty Museum, Griffith Observatory, Santa Monica, Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach and a host of other attractions as desired.

Rooms designed with shower, toilet and sink in the same space. Partial separation of these amenities would help parties of more than 2 people get ready quicker when going out.

The Pool and Gym (Well maintained, always lots of towels! and they let us use this prior to check in), comfortable rooms (Two Room Queen Suite with 2 Queen Beds was perfect for a family of four, with one additional large bed easily made from a good sofa bed in a separate room with door that could be closed off also) , easy 10 minute walk to pier and beach.

We requested a quiet room at the back of the building (away from traffic noise at the front) a whole year in advance, but this was not available when checking in. The traffic noise turned out to not be too bad at all. There are two ways in to the bathroom, however both have heavy sliding doors which were not lockable. Odd, as everything else about the room and building was very user friendly and functional. The valet parking was completely unneccessary for us as a family on holiday (maybe just not used to it as we are British!). Would have preferred if this was optional, as could just as easily have parked and got a lift up ourselves and accessed our car more often when needed for loading up beach items etc.

I like when you walked in the welcome, the service. Love the pool, love the situation of the hotel which was far enough from the pier and everything and close enough to everything.

The hotel doesn't provide transfers which was a real downer, the bell boys/concierge were really bad to try and get any kind of information from them was like pulling teeth out of a chicken, one example was trying to get directions I was basically told to go online that's where I could get the information. I know this is not the hotel's fault, but the public transport is crap and no one in the hotel knows how it works. I don't understand how the hotel would not have a directory of things to do around Santa Monica and LA. The staff at the front desk were fantastic and seemed to know more than the bell boys/concierge.

This is a nice family hotel. Beds were comfy and rooms were clean. Ask for a higher floor for a sea view. Convenient location to walk to Santa Monica Pier and 3rd Street.

We shared a king suite with our 16 year old son who slept on the sofa bed. He said that the mattress could have been better. The first room we were offered looked directly onto the pool and had no privacy, so we moved to a higher floor. There are a lot of homeless people around the hotel in the evenings and the hotel is on a busy main road.
