VICEROY - SANTA MONICA

Absolutely fantastic place to stay with excellent rooms, great facilities and even better staff. Attention to detail, outstanding customer service from doormen, waiters, cleaners, front desk and concierges! Special mention to Amelia and Lance who made sure that my birthday (day we checked in) was extra special by delivering champagne and strawberries to our room. Free coffee in the mornings, lovely saltwater pools make this charming hotel a top spot in Santa Monica

We stayed here on a Friday night, we wanted a nice luxury hotel and the pictures made it look that way, it was expensive, the picture looked good. However looks can be deceiving. There is nothing wrong with it but for the price and the way the pictures looked I expected more. The pools are plunge pools and don't expect to lounging by the pool catching some rays! The door was hanging off the bathroom. For the price there wasn't much extras there.

This is a nice looking hotel with very fashionable decor. We only spent 1 night here and it was 4 July, so I'm not sure if we got a realistic impression of what it would usually be like. The kitchen was serving very limited food due to the holiday - what we did get from the bar menu was awful. The pool area, while it looks beautiful is actually very tiny - so we weren't able to swim or lounge as it was quite full. The location is very good, short walk to the pier and a good entertainment area with great shops, restaurants and a cinema. The room was comfortable, but expensive.

Lance at Concierge hooked us up all weekend. Great places to eat and things to do. We would be dumb tourist without him. He's professionalism is tip top not to mention in a cool hotel. Also rent bikes and head to Venice Beach and cruise the beach.

We reserved a block of 20 rooms for our wedding weekend and everything was perfect. We love the rooms, location, and the vibe. We had a suite with an awesome view. Its def pricey but worth it to be in Santa Monica.
