We came for a couple nights to LA as part of our coastal family vacation. I hit the jackpot with the Santa Monica Proper. Everything was perfection, from the outstanding hospitality of every single employee to the efficient communication (to help time room cleaning, check out, special requests, etc). We dined at The Palma for breakfast - again perfect staff attention. Delicious food. Enjoyed pool time w classy nosh from the rooftop restaurant (i told my 14-yr-old how lucky she was to eat charred octopus poolside!). Location is top notch, just offset from the busy Santa Monica boardwalk and pier, so it’s quiet but super accessible by car/foot. I can’t say enough about this hotel- all great things. Would love to stay again.

Crowded on holiday weekend. Couldn’t get into pool. Hard to get into restaurant. Nice place. Thought it was over priced for experience.
