My husband and I stayed at this hotel for three nights for a long weekend. We thought it was economically priced and in a great location. Great location and a good price is not everything. If we could have found another place, we would have changed hotels. Actually, it was the dirtiest place that we have ever stayed. I was... more

We stayed one night, and the hotel is okay. It's no resort hotel, but it's not a total dump either. You get what you pay for, and you won't pay much here. Pluses: It is very close to the beach, promenade, restaurants, etc. Our room was fairly clean, spacious, and warm. It did have carpet stains, which was creepy. I'm... more

My partner and I stayed at Hotel Carmel, Santa Monica, California for three nights in early September. It was our first stop on a four week trip to USA - it was booked through our local Flight Centre travel agent - obviously she hadn't stayed there. The location was great, close to shops, resteraunts, public transport and the beach. The... more

This hotel is probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. It was not clean, there was dust everywhere. The carpet in the first room they gave me was filled with holes and tears. The room was small, and there was no electric outlet close to the desk. The bed was comfortable though. The elevator was not working properly.... more

I can't fault the location. Close to the beach. Just around the corner from 3rd Street, Close to the night club but OMG, what a dive! We got the details from a paper at a tourist information centre and booked on the phone. Never again. The room was grotty. Dodgy stains on the carpet. No working AC. Breakfast was a... more

I stayed here 4 nights in July. The awesome location of this hotel is the most important aspect. In the centre of santa monica, one block from the promenade, 3 minutes walking from the pier and the beach! Inside the hotel is very basic, there is a valet parking service, for 8 $ a day your car is parked just... more

We stayed here for 5 nights at the start of our Californian fly-drive holiday and it was the most disappointing accommodation of our 3 week stay in the US. The first room we had was so noisy from the air-conditioning vents/pipes outside the window that we asked to be moved - only 2 a more dingy room which overlooked the... more
