Whenever possible in LA I stay at this hotel. The rooms are quite nice, the room service food is surprisingly good, and it is right by the beach. I highly recommend it.

This is a beautiful hotel located minutes from the Santa Monica Pier & beach. Our 6th floor room was spacious and overlooked the pool area and we had wonderful views of the ocean. The staff here goes OUT OF THEIR WAY to make your stay pleasant. They are prompt, courteous(without being stuffy) and professional. I did not find the hotel... More

Every time we've come to the Los Angeles area we've stayed on this property. Located just two blocks from the Santa Monica Pier and a several minute walk to the Third Street Promenade, who could possibly pass it up? The room was quite spacious, overlooking santa monica with an oversized living area. The concierge went above and beyond every time... More

The hotel is located in a very nice place and is usually quiet. Access to the beach is very easy and the swimming pool area is nice to relax. I've been here several times and always like to stay here when travelling for business. You can walk down to Venice beach and go jogging. Cezanne restaurant is ok. Overall the... More

We recently spent 2 nights at the JW Marriott Santa Monica Le Merigot and we must say it was one of THE most enjoyable hotel stays we have ever experienced. Located at 1740 Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica, Ca., it is located one block from the popular Santa Monica Pier. Upon arrival we were greeted by 2 of the most friendly... More

It is hard to go wrong when you are across the street from beautiful beaches and tons of attractions, but Le Merigot somehow managed to match the greatness of its surroundings with the comfort of its interiors. The staff were not only attentive and friendly, they constantly went above and beyond to make each guest feel at home. They didn't... More

I've stayed at Le Merigot many times, hosting corporate events there three times. After a two year absence, I returned. The lobby has become a noisy bar. Public areas are not as sparkling as they were, carpets are stained, carpets in the hallways to rooms are dirty, with nicks and marks on the walls, just not the attention to detail... More

We spend two nights at the JW Marriott Santa Monica April 14th and 15th 2012. We arrived late and check in was simple and efficient. Our room was located on a higher floor and overlooked the courtyard and we had a nice view of the beach and the surfers in the morning. The room was very nice with a king... More

Loved the JW Marriott. Last year we stayed in Marina Del Rey at another Marriott property and ended up walking to SM Pier to experience the freak show that is the boardwalk on Venice Beach. This is almost 6 miles roundtrip so this year we decided on location closer to the pier. We booked using our Marriott points (silver) and... More
