Guest Reviews

• Michaela (8/5): -
• erdal (7/5): Santa monica konaklamak için iyi bir nokta Hampton İnn’dr - konumu resepsiyon çalışanları daha güler yüzlü olabilir makine gibi davranıyorlar
• Regis (8/5): Propre, bien placé mais des choses à améliorer… - L’accueil et les services (conciergerie, café à disposition toute la journée…). La propreté des chambres et des locaux (ainsi que la décoration). Emplacement à côté de la plage de Santa Monica et du métro E. Petit déjeuner décevant vu la gamme d’hôtel (avec des couverts jetables en plus, pas top pour la planète). Wifi très mauvaise, et 4G compliqué dans le bâtiment. Insonorisation ok entre les chambres mais perfectible sur l’étage de dessus: les bruits de pas résonnent.
• Patrick (7/5): -
• Giovanni (7/5): - Comfortable Having 2-3 homeless just in front of the facility is not the best…
• Jane (10/5): Fantastic,The location brilliant - We likely it was near to beach to see a wonderful Sunset
• Anthony (9/5): Clean and convenient - Nice clean room and easy excess to places I needed to go to. There was so disturbing noise from room above .
• Anand (8/5): Graduation travel - Hotel is well located with all major amenities. Staff is quite cordial and supportive. Breakfast is standard continental, with no major variations. Room is quite cozy, and large for multiple people to accommodate, and quite quiet. Gym, Laundry etc. are in good shape and accessible. Breakfast can be better with some variations , as gets monotonous if stay is for more than a day. Check-in could be more friendly, rather than being just professional.
• Ronald (5/5): Good location and clean hotel - Good location and cleanliness of the hotel was excellent Water pressure in the shower was terrible, water was literally trickling out, and the breakfast was not very good, only one complimentary water when there are two guess
• Zuzana (6/5): - Poloha blízko stanice metra a pláže, taktiež nákupné možnosti. Raňajky, karta nie vždy fungovala vo výťahu správne
• Leibovici (8/5): Super emplacement. Bon rapport situation prix - L’emplacement est génial pour visiter Santa Monica et Venice Beach. Le personnel est adorable. Certains équipements sont vétustes. Le mini frigo fait du bruit. Les canalisations également et la chambre que nous avions était au niveau de la piscine et donc au dessus du parking, on avait un bruit incessant.
• Halina (9/5): -
• Oscar (10/5): Me gustaría que tuviera terraza las habitaciones - Muy bien el personal Que no sabía que me iba a cobrar de más
• Martha (5/5): Ok - Hotel was in a great area. It was clean, except the breakfast counters were not. The beds were not comfortable at all. The mattress was dented on the side and high in the middle. The parking fees are crazy outrageous. Had to park at the Trader Joe’s.
• Miranda (8/5): Great hotel, great staff… breakfast lets it down and clearly the hotel does not care about sustainability 😞 - The location was excellent and the staff really helpful. The breakfast was not good, eating on paper plates with plastic cutlery was not what I expected from a hotel of this calibre.
• Kamila (8/5): -
• Hardik (9/5): -
• Milko (8/5): - The vicinity to the fisherman's wharf
• Nilson Rubens (9/5): - Well located Parking is convenient but expensive.
• Juliette (10/5): - Tout était très bien ! Le petit déjeuner était très sympa L’isolation n’est pas au top. Si vous n’aimez pas le bruit c’est moins confortable :)
• Omar (10/5): -
• Takuya (8/5): ホテルは良かったが、夜は怖かった。 - 立地が良かった。 サンタモニカまで歩いて行ける。 部屋も開放感があって良かった。 バス停が目の前にあるからなのか、様子のおかしい人が常に入り口付近にいた。
• Kristen (9/5): -
• Lauren (8/5): -
• Pavel O. (9/5): -
• Assunta (8/5): Hotel in ottima posizione a pochi minuti dal Pier di Santa Monica , metro e autobus davanti la porta. Hotel pulito e sta - La posizione e la pulizia Se devo essere puntigliosa e soggettiva , la colazione era quasi tutta solo salata! Avrei preferito qualcosa di più dolce.
• Peixoto (9/5): -
• David (7/5): - Wasn’t told about parking tax paid $76.00 for one night parking $11.00 for parking tax wasn’t told at the end was paying $11.00 on parking tax
• FRANCESCO (5/5): Soggiorno penalizzato dal rumore costante del tram, poco adatto a chi cerca tranquillità. - Posizione vicina a Pier Santa Monica a piedi Camera affacciata direttamente sui binari del tram: rumore continuo e fastidioso a tutte le ore, anche di notte. Il riposo è risultato compromesso e l’insonorizzazione insufficiente. Soluzione poco adatta a chi cerca tranquillità.
• Karolina (10/5): Wonderful stay - Our stay at Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica was absolutely wonderful. Everything was perfect – cleanliness, comfort, and service were all top-notch. The rooms were very comfortable and well-equipped, and the overall atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy our time. One of the biggest advantages of this hotel is its ideal location – just a short walk from the beach, allowing you to fully enjoy Santa Monica without any hassle. The beach itself was absolutely stunning – one of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in a fantastic location. We will definitely come back!
• Celine (6/5): Bien situé - Bon emplacement Petit déjeuner correct Dommage que les chambres ne soient pas faites durant notre séjour ( vu le prix) Que le ménage ne soit pas fait, linge de toilette non changé
• Hiroyuki (9/5): -
• Melissa (5/5): Convenient location and felt reasonably safe - The staff were very friendly and helpful compared to the staff at a previous property we stayed at. Room felt a bit claustrophobic and the walls have no soundproofing. We were woken up during the night by the guests next door being very noisy for 3 hours. Was very uncomfortable to have to listen to. We also had an issue with the toilet however that was rectified quickly the next day.
• Stefano (8/5): -
• Minoru (6/5): - サンタモニカピア近くロケーション最高　パーキングも出入りしやすく良い　ほどよい朝食もgood でした 部屋は534コーナーでオーシャンビューでとても良い 上階の634の歩く音とベット？で跳ねる音が大きく響き苦痛です　外のメトロや車の騒音もあり熟睡出来ませんでした
• Yerzhan (10/5): -
• Simin (10/5): -
• Sun (8/5): Maybe maybe. - The location is nice it’s next to some nice restaurants, Santa Monica peer and the metro. So there were quite a bit of homeless people around the hotel, though security is there and everyone needs a card to get in, it’s not the best impression. The laundry machines were expensive, 4$ for a wash, we went to another hotel of same level and the regular wash and dry was free. The couch in the king room must be renewed. It was very uncomfortable to sleep on because it is old. Overall I think the room was expensive for our overall stay.
• dejan (9/5): -
• Woodman (7/5): Great place for a short stay if you want to explore the city on foot. - Property is centrally located to a lot of things in Santa Monica and convenient to shops and restaurants I wish the breakfast offerings would rotate with more options. It tended to be the same chicken sausage, potato’s and eggs.
• KUAN PO (8/5): -
• Åsa (9/5): -
• reynald (8/5): - Bon hotel. Proche du Pier. Bon rapport qualité prix. Bon petit dejeuner Parking relativement élevé. Pas mal de personnes sans abris près de l hotel mais comme dans beaucoup d endroit à LA
• Robert (10/5): -
• aloha_2013 (8/5): -
• Alexandre Gustavo Oberhauser (10/5): - Localização e conforto.
• hugoaP551NY (10/5): Great location - Great location, close to everything
• Sabine (8/5): Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis mit schönen Zimmern - Schöne, moderne und große Zimmer mit bequemen Betten. Personal superfreundlich und hilfsbereit, gute Lage mit Fahrradstation und Bahn direkt vor der Tür. Typisch amerikanisches Frühstück auf Papptellern aber man bekommt alles, was man braucht, wird satt und es ist im Preis inkludiert. Leider hört man die Bahn recht deutlich aber bei geschlossenem Fenster geht das.
• Maryjo (9/5): Would stay there again - Clean, friendly, parking on site Right next to train station
• Predrag (9/5): -
• Stormont (8/5): My stay was nice, and the staff were friendly, and helpful about answering questions. - Location, clean inside There wasn’t anything to dislike.
• Ege (9/5): Really nice hotel - Location is really good very near to Santa Monica pier. The staff is very kind, clean rooms, very good breakfast The coffee machine in the room was dusty so we couldn’t use it.
• Ghee (9/5): -
• Jan (10/5): -
• Neto (9/5): -
• Charry (10/5): Me and my son had a wonderful time. - The staff are very helpful and accommodating. Nothing really. My stay was wonderful.
• Mcintyre (7/5): - Our room was beautiful and had a good view. Location was good. Some of staff that worked in breakfast area were rude and unhelpful. I had to ask for a table to be cleaned and was given a filthy look and was told it would be done in a few minutes Out of the 7 days we stayed for breakfast, three of those did not have any bananas or raisin bran. I was advised that the manager hadn't ordered any! I have never stayed at a hotel and paid the sum that I did and have to eat off paper plates using plastic knives and forks, every day! Our first morning having breakfast a homeless person came in and set the fire alarm off! Another day four police officers came rushing in and went up to the fifth floor as there had been an incident of violence. Unfortunately with the amount of homeless people outside of the hotel who were taking drugs I did not feel safe enough to go out on my own even through the day.
• Romero (8/5): -
• Ilona (6/5): Ok-ish, nothing special - Breakfast was good with sufficient choice. Location was ok. Staff friendly, particularly the ones at valet parking The rooms are very noisy! Rooms are basic, too basic (and boring)
• luping (1/5): - Do not understand customer need. Not professional.
• janellseyer (10/5): Ian Kinsley, GM is a HERO - Kudo's to: Ian Kinsley Assistant General Manager Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica 501 Colorado Ave. Santa Monica, CA 90401 P: 310.260.1100 x4407 Great location, walking distance to the light rail and to the Santa Monica Pier. Friendly staff, clean rooms, nice amenities, and great service! My family was traveling from NorCal to SoCal to honor the death of a family member, and decided to take a detour to Santa Monica for a night. We attempted to book a room online and made the mistake of thinking we were dealing directly with the Hilton Inn & Suites Hotel. Partway into booking, our phone connection got bad and we realized we were on a 3rd party site. However, before we could cancel the transaction, we lost service. When we had phone service again, there was a room reservation confirmation in our text feed with additional fees we did not understand. We immediately called the number on the reservation and attempted to cancel. The person trying to help us did not understand the nuances of the situation, as English was not their first language. We asked to speak to a manager and were told no one was available to assist. The rep was over-talking everything and said there was no cancellation available. After pushing her to help us, she said she would reach out to the hotel and see if they would honor the cancellation and consider refunding us, but there would likely be a penalty. NOW, THE GOOD STUFF!! It's Easter Sunday evening, and we arrived at the hotel anyway to check in. The staff welcomed us warmly, and we spoke to Ian Kinsley, GM, about our reservation situation. He was professional and friendly, and his help was AMAZING!!! The hotel was happy to book us a new room at our Hilton Honors rate. We felt Ian went the extra mile in taking care of our situation. Ian had already responded to the 3rd party's request to cancel the mistaken online reservation, and there would be NO penalty. He also offered to share the email with us so we could get our refund from the 3rd party. The rate we ended up paying was almost $100 less than the rate the 3rd party charged. We sent 3 emails to the 3rd party, and after 6 days, the 3rd party finally refunded my credit card. Thank you to Ian Kinsley and staff. We had an amazing stay. Lesson...watch closely when you book online. Go directly to the hotel for your reservations and don't be fooled by 3rd party ads.
• David (3/5): -
• Monica (9/5): -
• Perla (1/5): Had to cancel my stay because the stairs weren’t available they first told me they had no stairs! - No stairs available! Need my money back! They canceled my stay but kept my money!
• Jet49858341773 (10/5): Loved our stay! - My famiy and I stayed at the Hampton Inn, Santa Monica, for a week during Spring Break in March 2026. I was looking into this property as it seems very family friendly, but was also looking at the Shore Hotel which seemed like a more luxury stay. After trying to contact both hotels via email/their online form, and not receiving a reply from the Shore Hotel, I decided upon the Hampton Inn. Ian responded to my enquiries incredibly quickly, with a ton of information, and made me feel like a valued guest. Thank you Ian!! Location: A quick 5-10 walk to the Pier, this is a fantastic location. We had the Pier and Third Street Promenade within an easy stroll. It is also across from the metro which we took to downtown LA for the Lakers game to avoid traffic on a busy Friday night. Target is down the street and Trader Joes is a 2 minute walk away! Security: The hotel requires guests to scan their card to access the hotel's lobby, as well as within the elevator. This could be tricky if you're coming and going, but they also have a buzzer outside if you forget your card or don't have it handy. We never felt unsafe, despite the large homeless population around. Room: We had a room with two queen beds; it had some seating, a desk, drawers, small fridge and Ian had kindly provided us a microwave which came in so handy for the week. The bathroom had a barn style door, and when open, it hides the small closet behind it. So that was the only pit to the room; when someone was exiting the bathroom and someone else was at the closet or getting something from the safe, it was annoying. The other downside was that the TV didn't have Netflix or other apps; we could only watch live TV (they have a large selection of channels, but we would have preferred the ability to hook up Netflix or something). Our room was facing a condo building, and was off Colorado Ave, so this isn't a place with a view. However, we never heard street noice and never had issues with not being able to sleep. Other than that, we were happy with the room, the size and the very comfy beds and pillows. Breakfast: Breakfast was a great bonus especially for saving money and not having to worry about this meal, especially with two teenagers. There are two waffle makers, with two different flavours of batter per day (malted vanilla, strawberry, banana bread, lemon, etc.) and toppings. The hot selection was usually scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes and a meat selection (chicken sausage, pork sausage or bacon etc.) Some days, there were also premade omelettes. The breakfast included cereals, oatmeal, yogurt, hardboiled eggs, juices and there were also lots of bread, bagels, muffins, scones, etc. My family and I were really happy with the selection and found that items were replenished right up until it closed promptly at 10 am. I would just suggest the hotel staff consider adding in a couple more tables as sometimes it was hard to find seats. Lobby: The lobby was large, with lots of seating. There is a small business centre, small shop to buy items from, and small touches like apples on the large table. You could also take advantage of the breakfast seating area to have a snack, dinner or just hang out. The best part was there was fresh coffee (regular and decaf) as well as hot water available ALL the time! I would have my morning coffee, then grab another on my way out, and at night enjoyed a cup of nighttime tea before bed. My kids also loved that they included packets of hot chocolate. This was such a treat for all of us. Pool area: The pool and hot tub are on the second floor and although outdoor, it is semi-covered. The pool is a decent size, heated, and shallow - so very family friendly. The hot tub was pretty small and got crowded on the weekends but it was a lovely treat at the end of a long day to soak our tired bones. There were times when there were no towels available, but there is also a phone next to the towel area, and the staff were quick to replenish towels once asked. There is also a fire table with lots of seats around it if you just want to hang out. The fitness area is next door to the pool, and my teenage son loved it and found it well equipped and clean. The fitness room has a water station which we used to refill our bottles. Across from the fitness room is the coin laundry; we didn't use it but it was nice to have. Parking: I read lots of reviews about how expensive parking was, so we used SpotHero and found a spot around a 10 minute walk away for our rented car. Staff: The real highlight at this property is the staff; they are all so welcoming, hard working and make you feel like a wanted, valued guest. Every single person we encountered, whether they were from the front desk, housekeeping, maintenance, etc. were all quick to greet us and say hello with a smile. It makes a huge difference when the staff is hard working and show pride in their work. Special shout out again to Ian who went out of his way to ensure our stay was incredible! I would definitely recommend the Hampton Inn, Santa Monice to anyone! It is very family friendly, has great perks and staff, and we had a very comfortable stay. I look forward to staying here again, if I'm ever in the area.
• Pilar (1/5): RECEPCIONISTAS MALEDUCADOS - llegamos al hotel y nos dieron en recepcion una habitacion con una ventana que daba a las vias del metro.Este pasaba cada pocos minutos.Nada mas entrar pedimos un cambio a otra zona porque al dia siguiente teniamos muchas horas de vuelo y necesitabamos descansar.Un recepcionista super desagradable llamado IAN ,nos dijo que no era posible cambiar porque ya habiamos entrado a la habitacion aunque fuesen 5 minutos.Fue muy desagradable y eso que tienen un cartel pegado que dice que si necesitas algo se lo digas que ellos estan para ayudarte.Muy mala experiencia.El parking carisimo. NO VOLVEREMOS
• Beth (10/5): Awesome! - I appreciated the level of security the hotel provided, the breakfast was excellent and the room clean and comfortable. Location was perfect for us - my son lived 1 block away so we could walk everywhere!! N/A
• Robin (7/5): - Sadly Breakfasts in the US are very poor with very little fresh healthy food.

• sarenel (8/5): Excellent customer service - My husband, daughter, and I booked a weeklong stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica for our Los Angeles vacation because we're regular Hampton Inn customers and usually have lovely stays. This Hampton Inn suited our needs perfectly: Central location, free breakfast, and great customer service. Shortly after we arrived in L.A., we had a major problem with our car rental booking and were in terrible moods once we got to the hotel. Guinevere at the front desk literally saved our vacation. She deserves all the accolades for her warm, welcoming demeanor, empathy for our terrible experience with our original car rental company -- and for helping us get our rental car situation back on track. It's true that the surrounding neighborhood isn't so great, and that the daily parking rate is way too expensive, but we were more than satisfied with our stay. Remember that Hampton Inns aren't four/five-star resorts, so it's important to keep your expectations reasonable. The breakfast is serviceable, not spectacular.

• Marie (3/5): So basic, really lacking in the essentials - The location was great and the free tea It was so so basic for a Hilton, there was no wardrobe or luggage stand, my suitcase had to just be on the floor the whole time. No robe either. Wanted to use the pool and there were no towels and a whole ton of people crammed into the hot tub who also had no towels and were asking ME to help them out, I went to reception and they said they’d take some up - the elevator had a wet floor, the female staff really seemed disinterested in answering any of my questions (the one older male was very polite though) there weren’t enough tables and chairs in the breakfast area so I had to stand up, other families had to do the same. The room was noisy from the metro train later into the night and sunbathing on the balcony? Forget about it! There’s a high ledge which would block any direct sunlight. It was so expensive for something that felt super super basic and I regret staying here honestly, it was rubbish and definitely not good enough for the price.

• Cynthia (7/5): Wonderful staff, clean and comfy room - The hotel is well situated near the pier, close to the beach and the 3rd Street Promenade. The staff are so friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean and comfortable - exactly what you expect from a Hampton Inn. The area, in general, is not the safest anymore. 3rd Street promenade has tons of vacant space - it’s not the bustling, energetic place it used to be. I booked this trip very last minute, so if I would have known that, I might have chosen a Hampton Inn in a different location.
• RochelleO629 (4/5): Disappointing Experience and Poor Customer Service - I was really disappointed with my stay. Our reservation was affected by flight changes, and despite calling multiple times, no one ever answered the phone. I also sent an email and never received a response, which made the situation even more frustrating. When we arrived, the front desk agent (Matt) was not welcoming and came across as rude when addressing the issue. We were told we would have to wait until the standard 3–4 PM check-in time, yet we were still charged for the previous night. In my opinion, if I’m being charged for that night—especially after attempting to reach out in advance—a room should have been ready upon arrival. The stay itself was also uncomfortable. We could clearly hear noise from the room above us, as well as frequent train noise, which made it difficult to relax and get a good night’s sleep. The breakfast was underwhelming and did not meet expectations. Overall, the lack of communication, poor customer service, and noise issues made this a frustrating experience. I would not choose to stay here again.

• Paul (3/5): Not a great stay for a brand that carries the Hilton Hotel brand - Room was of a decent size like in the description on the booking.com platform plus it was clean and tidy and in good order when we arrived at check in. Access to freshly made coffee & tea 24hrs a day was a nice touch. Breakfast was very limited and pretty much identical daily. Didn't like the fact that everything was on paper plates, paper bowls, plastic cutlery, plastic cups and paper cups and this wasn't what we expected for the price of the stay in the hotel. During our stay, the fire alarms went off during breakfast, we were told by security staff that a homeless person had got in and set off the fire alarms and that it had been dealt with. Another morning, we opened our room door to go downstairs and were greeted by 2 police officers who seemed to be entering a room across from ours due to a disturbance and another Police officer was waiting down the hall. This was a bit of a shock and not something you see that often in a hotel in the UK. We were on the 5th floor and we could definitely hear all the traffic noise from outside, such as the alarm when the metro train doors are closing or the train was moving off from the platform. Parking at the hotel was $60 per day plus taxes which seems a bit high to me even though the hotel do tell you what the costs are before booking in the description but when you are there for a week the costs rack up. Some staff were very helpful and some staff didn't seem quite as helpful, then one day there was a notice in the doorway that the hotel was being sold/change of ownership so maybe this had something to do with it. There was definitely a lot of homeless people around the hotel front which seems to be a bigger problem for the whole area.
• Carlos (8/5): Muy buen hotel, cercano a playa y centro comerciales - La ubicación del Hotel muy buena, a pasos de la playa, personal muy amable y preocupado de que sea grata la experiencia de quedarse en el Hotel Parking excesivamente caro, adicional a esto se escucha mucho ruido en la noche cuando se camina entre habitaciones superiores

• Mattias (7/5): Som förväntat när man bor på en stor hotellkedja i USA och bra läge - Bodde här två nätter och rummet var som man kan förvänta sig när man bor på en stor hotellkedja. Stort rum och fint badrum. Bra läge me endast 5 min promenad till Santa Monica beach Frukost i USA med bara sötsaker och inplastade matvaror och sedan uteliggare som kom in till frukosten. Svårt att lösa då det fanns många i området
