Quote: Had high expectations because of the wonderful location (steps away from one of my favorite restuarants, shopping, etc.), but was frankly disappointed. The paint and carpet were old looking. Just did not have the snap and polish you expect when you... Read the full Ocean View Hotel review

Quote: two beds private balcony with ocean view, Santa Monica Beach. Unfortunately, this hotel is the equivalent to an over price Motel 6. Front desk management was not attentive and rude to needs of residence. Called management 3 times to fix TV remote... Read the full Ocean View Hotel review

  • March 22, 2009
Quote: No ESPN. No make-up mirror. Very sweet balcony and view of Santa Monica pier and beach. Parking was practically impossible: tiniest parking garage ever seen, too tight for anything but a small car. Bed good, pillows good, shower adequate. Old,... Read the full Ocean View Hotel review

Quote: Santa Monica pier is just across Ocean Ave and the Prominade Shopping is close behind the hotel. Not far from LAX too. Great place for a weekend get away. Don't expect too much from the breakfast included as bagles, juice, cereal, and coffee is... Read the full Ocean View Hotel review

Worst hotel ever! Definately NOT 3 stars

Quote: This hotel was terrible!! Not only were the hallways disgustingly dirty, but we had to tolerate an awful sewer-gas smell all night coming through the vents in our room, as well as in the hallway! Additionally, we only had one light in our room... Read the full Ocean View Hotel review

No 3 star hotel

  • June 26, 2008
Quote: Rooms were old and run down and so were the hallways. You had to pay to use the internet in the lobby. Don't be fooled by the pictures. To go to the beach you had to cross a 4 lane street, walk a bit, then walk down many steps, cross an overpass... Read the full Ocean View Hotel review
