We flew in early to LA and arrived early to this accommodation.. unfortunately for us there were so many there checking in at the same time as we wanted to get our bags checked in, so we had a long wait while we were extremely jetlagged. Apart from this small thing, we found the location was fantastic - close to... More

I have stayed at a few other DoubleTree's before and this is by far the nicest one. The rooms are huge and they clean daily with no problems. The staff is extremely friendly and willing to help you out with whatever you may need. We did not spend time eating at the hotel (not a lot of options), but the... More

We came to Santa Monica for a destination wedding over Memorial Day weekend. It was a short ride to the wedding venue in Topanga Canyon (great place to visit) and an easy ride to Malibu. The hotel is a short walk--14 minutes--to Third Street Promenade and all the Memorial Day festivites, and a slightly longer walk (20 minutes?) to the... More

Right off the freeway easy to find , fantasy rooms ,bar could be better the only down side but overall a 8/10 for me !!

We stayed two nights here during our visit to California, very nice hotel, great room with a separate bathroom and sitting room. The hotel is within walking distance to the Pier, Shopping Centre where there is a lively nightlife of restaurants and street performers. Lots of places to eat, a very young environment, hard to spot anyone over 50 which... More

Like many comments here already, I found the location of this hotel to be nice and convenient. It's only a block or two from the main shopping strip and the pier. I've stayed a bit closer in previous visits, but didn't find the extra distance a problem, as long as your don't mind a 10 minute walk. The hotel itself... More

Hotels location was excellent, walking distance to the pier and also to Third promenade. Only complaint was that we couldn't check in until 5pm which was awful as we were jetlagged having flown into the US that morning from Australia. Staff were friendly and very helpful with directions etc.

We stayed on points in room 205 which is right above the ballroom and Friday evening a prom was happening in the hotel. The music was so loud that I called the front office and was told it would end about midnight which it did. I tried to keep in mind it was a special event and the kids were... More

We too loved this hotel during our 3-night stay. We were anticipating a not-so-enjoyable stay given some comments about the location. For us, the location was great. A short walk around the corner to the 3rd St Mall and its food court and "upmarket" (ie expensive) shops, and walk a bit further and you're by the beach or on the... More
