Independent Santa Monica hotels

"Loved it , staff is really nice and friendly, very clean , loved the area, there’s a big mall close by and close to universal studios."

"Unfortunately, our heater did not work. It only blew out cold air. The bathroom light went on with the fan and the fan was extremely noisy. Hotel was clean enough and a good location."

"Next to UCLA"

"People above were loud."

"This hotel is a fantastic choice, offering great value compared to others farther from the city. The 30th-floor restaurant boasts an impressive view of southwest Los Angeles and features a happy hour from 5:05 to 7 PM. While the rooms are not large, they are thoughtfully designed. The free wine happy hour is a delightful way to start the evening on a high note. Its location, just five minutes from Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, is unbeatable. We’ll definitely be back! "
