Hilton Santa Monica Hotel & Suites

Hotel was clean, super comfortable and very spacious! Really glad I chose to spend my money here and not some fancier hotel (with a much smaller room). Very comfortable place to "live" out of for a week. Felt like home. Super friendly concierge and valet as well.

The Santa Monica Hilton is a great hotel. While not new, it is very refreshed and everything worked as expected - something not too common in too many hotels.|Check-in was quick and the staff was efficient. We had two rooms:|The king room was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of drawer storage, and a closet, as well as a roomy safe. The second room with two queens was very cramped. No drawers with barely any room for two people to unpack. |The rooms were clean and the bathrooms were modern with a great flow from the showers. There was some noise seeping across rooms - a loud kid offered a 4am wakeup.|The hotel is located in an efficient, but not very scenic address. It is walkable to downtown Santa Monica and the beach, as well as Santa Monica's charming Main Street. You are also right

I used to stay at this hotel years ago before its renovation (thank goodness). It was a bit of a dump but its location allowed me easy access access to beach volleyball at the pier, shops at the mall and promenade and plenty of F&B offerings nearby as well as those on Main Street, which I love. The rooms are now better and decently appointed. The lobby and atrium are also tastefully done. Much better than the tired before version! The staff has been super friendly, kind and attentive, including those of valet, porter, front desk and restaurant / bar. I’ll try and add a few more photos prior to departure. Enjoyed the stay and would do so again! Thank you!

Positive: The hotel was nice and the staff were friendly Negative: The breakfast buffet was $28 per person and they added a 20% tip. I'm normally a good tipper but on a buffet you serve yourself. It was the same exact buffet as the last 3 hotels I stayed in but they were included. $75 for 2 for breakfast was ridiculous.

I want to begin by saying I've had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel on two occasions and I thoroughly enjoyed both stays. I must say that I enjoyed my most recent stay that much more because of the front desk agent, David. He was absolutely perfect and he is the epitome of great customer/guest service. He was so friendly, professional and accommodating. He made me feel valued as a guest and customer of Hilton. David, if you get the opportunity to read this I hope you plan on moving into management (if you aren't already) and I pray you duplicate yourself and train those under you to provide the same excellent service you do so well. As a former hotel manager myself I must say Hilton Santa Monica is fortunate to have you, Sir. -Bernard B. (Room# 840) 12/4/2025
