Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica

This hotel was not in a very safe part of town. Parking was $44/nt and street parking is not an option. Service at valet was not attentive and check in process was not very welcoming. The hotel was very bland, although clean. Way overpriced for this type of experience.

The pool area is so inviting with the pool, hot tub and fireplace. We used it every day. There is a full breakfast with anything you could want; eggs, meat, waffles, cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, fruit, smoothies, breads and pastries. There is coffee, tea and water out at all times Fantastic location for beach, promenade and metro to DTLA.

The location is just perfect, just in front of the Metro which may lead you to the LA Downtown. 5min Walking from Santa Monica's Downtown and Santa Monica's pier. However the area is full of beggars and homeless people (not hotel fault, but even though it's something to remark on it). Breakfast can definitely improve; it was almost every day the same.

Check in/ out great Jacuzzi fab, liked the idea of the laundry room. Shame no showers or changing area by pool so can enjoy after check out time. Room lovely just needed a mirror in room rather than having to wait to do make up or hair while bathroom was in use. Even tho right next to light railway we had no noise and room faced station. Breakfast definitely set you up for the day if not the week.

This could be a great place, but the service is horrendous. The staff is so unhelpful and rude. The breakfast is hit or miss. The first day was great and the next day it was like something that would be served in a prison.
