    Surprise setup for Best Day Ever
    Heather M.

    I'll make sure to state this review only speaks to our experience at Su Casa and won't include the sad state Venice Beach is in, along with a lot of LA's surrounding areas right now--but as a local, I'll just say this was such a pleasant and amazing getaway! We celebrated my daughter's birthday and, from booking the room to check-in and throughout the stay, Kyle at Su Casa was incredible. I never expected such friendly and helpful assistance when we were booking a local two days away from home after the grueling pandemic. I think the thing to point out is that this hotel is steps away from the sand and beach. Are you also steps away from all of the homeless living on the beach, and also what seemed to be a men's recovery home next door? Honestly, yes--but welcome to LA! And as locals, it's more about how safe I felt there and never once felt regret in booking such a quaint and lovely hotel room at a great price. We wanted Venice Beach and not Santa Monica, so I think we picked the absolute best place to stay The room was lovely and clean. Parking nearby was also convenient and affordable, again, for LA. Having a kitchen, stocked with everything we needed, including a full sink, microwave and stovetop, was awesome--rare. But it truly was the personable help Kyle offered, I have to say, that made this feel more like a small town casa, rather than just a hotel. Thanks so much!

    Marijuana smoke. Do not book it if you have kids. On Thursday, December 30th, 2021, we checked in to Su Casa at Venice Beach around 7pm (see Figure 3), having reserved a two-night stay in Room #11, a second-story room with a beach view, via Expedia on 12/20 (see Figure 2). The entire hotel had been advertised as "smoke-free" (see Figure 1), which was very important to us since we were traveling with an infant and another young child. With the help of the hotel staff, we had begun carrying our luggage up the stairs to the room when we noticed the smell of what seemed to be stale marijuana smoke. It was quite strong on the second floor, and so strong in the room itself that it made us uncomfortable. We stayed in the room for a few minutes, after which our throats and eyes were beginning to hurt. We then went downstairs to the desk to discuss the smell with the hotel staff, spending at least fifteen minutes there before returning to the room to see if we were willing to stay. The smell of smoke was as strong as ever the second time we visited the room, and we do not believe it would have dissipated before all of us were feeling miserable. We do not know whether the previous occupant had smoked in the room, whether it was coming from elsewhere in the building through the ventilation system, or whether (as the staff claimed) the smoke originated from the outside the hotel, but it was in any case not a "smoke-free" room at that time, and not a place we could stay with our kids. As it was getting late and the hotel staff seemed unwilling to issue a refund, we chose to end our vacation early rather than check into a different hotel and pay for another room, canceling our reservation through Expedia (see Figure 4) and driving home the same night. It was a five-hour trip back to San Jose.

    What AMAZING place to stay at Venice Beach! This location is perfect ...just at the start of the boardwalk and within a short scooter or bike ride to the Santa Monica pier. We checked in later than expected due to a late flight and were so thankful the owner waited for us, helped with our luggage and ensured we were settled before closing up thanks Kyle!! Our room was perfect, super comfortable bed, a nice kitchen space allowing for cooking and eating, a living room area PERFECT to sit with a morning mimosa and watch the waves come in, a large bathroom with plenty of hot water and doors to close off areas for privacy. There is a restaurant directly below that makes grabbing a quick meal a super convenience. The hustle and bustle of the boardwalk wasnt much of a bother at all and we came for the experience to be on the boardwalk. The staff during our stay were just all so great. Brian always made sure we had everything we needed daily and helped with directions to get around. When we were leaving I said I had wished our room had a balcony as I was chatting with yet another great associate and turns out he says oh we have those! He showed me one of the balcony rooms and WOW .... I'm planning when I can get back to stay again :)... thanks David!!! Location - Service - Cleanliness - Cost - Views ....5 stars ya'll

    Trash of precious guest, enjoy
    Alisher S.

    This review is for the house that is right next to a building with rooms. Friends of mine booked rooms and they looked very nice. Piece of . Rooms are dirty. Trash can had previous guest's old fucking socks and other trash in it. Rooms are dirty, heater is not working, only a/c in the winter, and it's freaking cold right now in Cali. We went outside on the ocean front walk, homeless people everywhere! They don't make fuss, just yell out loud once in while. I'm used to it, but it definitely not worth $500 for a beachfront room for 2 days. The restaurant though was only a mile away and the food was amazing! So I am upping my review too a 2 star as you can definitely get a good food nearby.

    Me and a friend booked here to spend a long weekend in LA. The price seemed reasonable and the location is right on Venice Beach. They were very kind when we arrived and offered us a complimentary upgrade for the room, changing from the studio to a one bedroom, which was ideal as we ended up being in 3 person. The apartment was clean, great view on the beach. Downstair they have a small cafe which has a patio right on Venice beach, serving great brunch at a very moderate price. We loved our staying here except for one thing. Right in front of the hotel there are many homelesses, who leave trash behind and at night is not the best area to hang if you are alone. We would always go out at night in different areas so that was not a problem for us. I would definitely come back.

    Beach view just off the beach in front of the hotel
    Brad M.

    I came down to LA to enjoy the beach from Redlands for a few days and found out about this place through some friends that live in the area. Finding the hotel was a bit of a challenge and the big surprise was where the hotel was tucked away. It was located directly off the beach and the room I was in had a huge balcony with a view of the beach. The hosts Kyle and Dave were great and accommodating and were more than willing to take the time to sit down and talk about the area and make us feel at home. My uneasiness getting out of the traffic went away after talking with them and settling into the room. I'll provide some pictures of the rooms but I was surprised how the hotel kept some of the more vintage architectural design but still kept a more modern feel. The room had a stove and appliances, plates, bowls, utensils, and cooking things, which allows you to do pretty much what you normally can if you wanted to pick up groceries to save money versus eating out. You're right off of Venice beach at the hotel and only a couple miles of walking from the Venice pier and fairly close to Santa Monica pier also. The beach is huge...so if you want to head out of the hotel and walk out on the beach to see an awesome sunset,while hearing the waves crash on the beach, make sure to leave a bit earlier because it's a deep beach. I will be coming back for sure and felt it was well worth it. I hope others can find this gem in the rough like I have.

    I cannot say enough good things.. truly a hidden gem. Sure you have to pay for parking off site but who cares? I mean, it is Cali. Anyways we got the queen sweet as a complementary upgrade and wow!! It is stunning and so clean and the VIEW!! It's everything we didn't know we needed. Full functioning kitchen with all dishes we need. Front desk service was so wonderful as well, thank you KYLE!! (Photos do no justice)

    My private little courtyard outside my cottage.

    Su Casa is an amazing find. I stayed in one of the 2 bedroom cottages and the experience outshined many of my stays in the Santa Monica/Venice. If you are looking for the true Venice Beach experience stay here. Clean, safe and the staff is so helpful and cheerful. I cannot wait to come back.

    This place is a little hard to find when you're driving here because you go through this back street and there's no sign from the back of the hotel. Also, you have to park in another parking lot down the street as this hotel is right on the beach so there's no parking there. The walk isn't bad though and you get to enjoy Venice Beach. Also, this hotel is on top of a cafe, which makes it even harder to find. I will say, Venice beach was a little on ghetto side for me, but inside this hotel, was very nice. The people working there for great, always willing to help, there's complimentary breakfast, free wifi, and the room was a suite, with a living room, kitchen, bedroom. Can't beat the view of the beach right out your window! There's a drug recovery center around the corner from here, but we had no problems, and like I said, Venice Beach is a little ghetto. Stilled enjoyed my time here! P.S. I don't think their walls are very soundproof.

    Super beautiful view, cozy one bedroom suite, and friendly staff! It was better than expected for being in Venice. Definitely booking again soon!

    We are back for our second stay at Su Casa!! We love this place!! It is as close to the beach as you can get, hotel wise!! There's an amazing restaurant right on the beach, at this hotel!! You get a breath taking view of the beach, sunrise, sunset!! The guys that work here are great! David, Kyle, Griffin and Oscar!! So great to go someplace that makes you feel like family and these guys do!! Another amazing stay!! So glad we don't leave until tomorrow!!

    See all

The situation after the event was even worse and I was so thankful that we had parked elsewhere. The whole event felt as it had come as a surprise to then. The whole thing felt so ... unprepared. Back down in the lobby we could not even get a coffee. Visually, it's a nice hotel. I just fail to understand how you can invite a few hundred local business executives and then fail so badly.

    A Beautiful Oceanfront Hotel with an Extraordinary Service Culture…read more My family and I just returned from a Father's Day weekend at Regent Santa Monica Beach, and it was one of the most impressive hotel experiences we've had. We stayed in a 720 Oceanfront King room, which was spectacular. The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable, but the true highlight was the view. Being able to sit on the patio and watch the ocean while our children played, read, relaxed, and enjoyed the room created some of our favorite memories of the weekend. We found ourselves spending far more time in the room than we normally do on vacation simply because it was such a wonderful place to be. While the property itself is stunning, what truly sets Regent Santa Monica Beach apart is the service culture. Every interaction felt thoughtful, genuine, and personal. Before our arrival, Deidra was incredibly helpful and responsive regarding room questions I had. Throughout the stay, Waldo made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for, taking the time to ensure our family was comfortable and enjoying everything the property had to offer. Lex checked in proactively and made certain our stay was going smoothly. The level of engagement from the leadership team was remarkable and set the tone for the entire experience. What impressed me most was how attentive the staff were to details. Housekeeping noticed we were traveling with a toddler and disposing of diapers in the room trash. Without us requesting anything, they proactively delivered a Diaper Genie to our room. It was such a simple gesture, but it demonstrated an incredible level of awareness and care. Dining at Orla was another highlight. Both breakfast and dinner were outstanding. Pia stopped by our table to personally ensure everything was going well and even made sure we hadn't left any belongings behind when we finished our meal. Ryan provided exceptional service during dinner and went above and beyond for our family. When our son preferred traditional dinner rolls over the pita bread being served, Ryan and the team went out of their way to locate rolls elsewhere so he could have something he enjoyed. They also handled special requests with grace and professionalism, making our children feel genuinely welcome throughout the meal. The food itself was excellent. The breakfasts were memorable, the seafood dishes were outstanding, the cocktails were creative and well-crafted, and the desserts were fantastic. Orla delivered the kind of dining experience that would be worth visiting even if you weren't staying at the hotel. What impressed me most about Regent was the consistency. The front desk team, concierge staff, housekeeping, restaurant staff, bell team, and managers all seemed aligned around the same goal: creating an exceptional guest experience. It wasn't one outstanding employee--it was an entire culture of hospitality. There are many luxury hotels with beautiful buildings and desirable locations. Far fewer succeed in making guests feel genuinely cared for. Regent Santa Monica Beach does both. This is unquestionably a luxury property, but after experiencing the level of service, attention to detail, dining, and hospitality we received, we left feeling it delivered tremendous value. We have stayed at many excellent hotels over the years, and this is one of the few that had our family discussing a return visit before we had even checked out. Thank you to Waldo, Deidra, Lex, Pia, Ryan, and the entire Regent Santa Monica Beach team for making our Father's Day weekend so memorable. We are already looking forward to coming back.

    It's a great luxury hotel. As we live in LA, we rarely stay. Yesterday, our CPA appointment ran…read moreunexpectedly short and we bridged our time until dinner with drinks on their balcony. Service, ambiance (and view) and drinks we as nice as one would expect from a place like this. We were the only table who did not get chips with their drinks. Why "only" four out of five stars? Because of the chips? C'mon, gimme a break. Of course not. Without question this is a very upscale hotel. I try to avoid to combine this with upscale expectations - how could you rate this say against a $100-a-night-motel. The motel will always fall short. So in my rating world, when I go, the place as automatically three stars. If it had not, I would not go. Depending on the experience, regardless of the status of the place, I give it more, or ... less. The place is and was really nice and I highly recommend it. By pure definition, it sure deserves five stars. A five star hotel with five star service and five star prices. Now, having lived in the world of the rich-beauty-famous for most of my life, that alone does not impress me too much. If the five star hotel would fall short - and I have seen this, my individual experience may lead to two stars or less, and sadly, it happened. In this case, we loved it and would go again. BUT: to achieve five stars in my rating scheme, I need to be willing to make a 30+ min detour just to go to this particular place. And while ambiance, view & stuff was nice, it was not nice/ special/ outstanding enough to earn its five points. And after Shutters, I went to a place that was clearly worth five stars. A place I have been to often, in walking distance - and a place to I would drive an hour out of my way just to go. But that's another story :-)

    My husband, toddler, and 5 months old stayed here for 3 nights on Memorial Day weekend…read more We had a great time from the moment we walked in: - the hotel is beautiful and location is everything - the staff is very nice, tries to call you by name to make you feel special, and everything screams quiet luxury - the room was very nice, well decorated and comfortable. The tub is the highlight. One comment would be that when we checked in with Anthony, who was so sweet to our toddler, also kept telling us we were getting upgraded to a very nice room. We got all excited. It was a normal room. The "very nice upgrade" just meant that we were on floor 5. I barely call that an upgrade but ok. - we asked for a crib, and we go a nice crib with a cute little baby soap kit from noodle and boo- very nice touch. And baby robes for the kids- my toddler loved it. My toddler was on a rollaway bed and they were super accommodating about it- great experience on that front. - balconies are tiny and I never saw anyone out when I sat out - pool staff was super nice. It was a chilly weekend and the pool could have been warmer (I couldn't get in, but I really don't like cold water). - the beach chairs are also very nice and we were surprised to find them available - they were extremely pleasant about our friends visiting us every day! - the lobby waiter during the day was almost inexistant. We had to go to the bar to ask for drinks. The woman at night was great. Now for the food...: - coast has a great breakfast, the lemon ricotta pancakes are excellent (though stupid expensive for pancakes) - pico is a good spot for shrimp cocktail and calamari. Hasn't seen shrimps that big in a long time. - overall the food was good everywhere but way overpriced.... The kids menu are ridiculous... hard to justify spending $28 on kids pancakes. That being said, the portions were the same as adult portions... maybe make the portions smaller, and price more accessible? Overall we had a great stay, and while on the expensive side, we agreed we would come back. Nicely done!

    Shore Hotel - from street

    I found this hotel through ChatGPT--yes, another gem discovered with the help of AI!…read more After I entered all the places we planned to visit during our trip, ChatGPT suggested that we stay in Santa Monica. I was a little hesitant because Santa Monica hotels are known to be expensive, and I preferred to keep our room under $300 per night before taxes and fees. The Shore Hotel offers a great package if you don't mind staying in a room without a beach view. We booked a room with two queen beds--Pool Terrace, if I remember correctly--using their Coastal Getaway rate. The package did not include in-and-out valet parking, daily bike rentals, or access to the gym, but it was perfect for us since we planned to spend most of our time outside the hotel. Our ground-floor room faced the swimming pool, but trees provided privacy by blocking the view into the room from the pool deck. We really liked the room, especially how easy it was to access the pool. It was only about a 60-second walk from our room to the pool entrance! Unfortunately, at around 1 a.m. on our first night, the toilet began having plumbing issues, and bubbles started gushing out of the bowl. About half an hour later, I contacted Manny at the front desk. Since the bubbles continued and an engineer was not on-site, Manny eventually had to move us to another room. It was not fun waking up the kids at 2 a.m. after a long day of driving, especially since they had already settled into the spacious room--and we all loved that room! There was enough space to lay out all four of our carry-on suitcases. However, Manny acted very quickly. He asked Chris and another staff member--sorry, I forgot his name!--to prepare our new room and help move our luggage while my husband and I hurriedly repacked everything we had just unpacked. By 2:30 a.m., we were in our new room. At first, my kids thought we had been downgraded because we went from two queen beds to one king bed, and the room seemed slightly smaller. However, Manny arranged for a rollaway bed--and the room itself turned out to be a major upgrade! He moved us to a third-floor room with a balcony directly facing the beach. The new room was an accessible room, so the bathroom had additional grab bars. That worked perfectly for us because the bars were great for hanging our wet swimsuits to dry! Our original room only had a large rainfall showerhead, while the accessible room also had a handheld showerhead. That was especially convenient since we were traveling with young children. Overall, I really appreciated how well Manny handled our situation! I almost want to gatekeep the Pool Terrace room because it offers such great value. I was initially concerned about noise because I was told that the pool stayed open until midnight on Saturday. However, I can attest that the glass doors do an excellent job of blocking outside noise. My husband and kids had no trouble falling asleep before the plumbing issue began. Honestly, I think the Pool Terrace room would be my go-to choice for our next visit because my kids really enjoyed spending time at the pool. The pool is not very large, but it is more than adequate for cooling off on a hot summer day. We were also fortunate that none of the children using the pool were overly rowdy. Everyone behaved well while still having fun. The hotel offers cabanas for rent, but we had no trouble finding chairs on weekdays or later in the evening on the weekend. I can definitely see myself staying here again the next time we visit Santa Monica!

    Unbeatable location, but the housekeeping fell short. If you…read moreare looking for a vibrant, modern spot right in the heart of the action, Shore Hotel definitely delivers on atmosphere. You cannot beat the location--it is literally steps from the Santa Monica Pier, making it super easy to walk everywhere, grab food, and enjoy the beach. The overall vibe is bright, fun, and energetic. The pool area is great for lounging, and the bar serves up fantastic cocktails. The hotel itself feels sleek and updated, with modern amenities that make the stay comfortable and convenient. Unfortunately, the experience was bumped down a few notches by the cleanliness of the room. While the design of the room was sleek, it clearly hadn't been thoroughly cleaned before we checked in--there were noticeable spots left un-dusted, and the bathroom floor needed a much better sweep and wipe-down. It's a fantastic hotel with awesome perks and an epic view, but for the price point, management really needs to tighten up their housekeeping standards. Would consider staying again, but I'd definitely inspect the room first! There was food left in the mini bar. The bath tub had sand and hair. Disgusting! Thus the 3 stars!

    I stayed at Ocean View Hotel for three days. The location was excellent, right by the ocean, and…read morethe service was very good throughout my stay. However, the rooms were quite small and did not feel as spacious as we expected based on the photos on the website. Unfortunately, I found the price to be far too high for what the hotel offers. There is no on-site restaurant or breakfast included, and parking costs more than $60 per night, which is especially expensive. When you add the room rate, the high parking fee, and the lack of basic amenities such as breakfast, the overall value simply isn't there. There are several other excellent hotels nearby that offer more amenities and much better value for the money. In my opinion, with this hotel, you are mainly paying a premium for the fact that it is directly on the beach. Personally, I would rather pay less, have more services and amenities, and walk a few extra minutes to the beach than pay such a high price just for the location. Overall, the service was excellent and the location was fantastic, but considering the price and the limited amenities, I don't feel the hotel offers good value for money.

    From the time we walked in, we felt welcomed. Took a cruise out of Long Beach so upon returning, we…read morewere told we could check in early, which I love since we have 3 small kids. While waiting for our room, took a walk to the pier and beach, got some food, and when we got back, the room was ready. Walked into a bright, clean room and bathroom. Heidi was amazing! She gave us information for bikes and WiFi. Told us that towels and sand toys are provided to guests to enjoy at the beach. You have to have a hotel key to access the elevator and the lobby doors are locked after business hours. You'll receive 20% off if you dine at the Shoreside restaurant a couple of doors down. She even gave our kids bubbles before we went to our room. Less than a five minute walk to the Santa Monica Pier and beach and a lot of food places around in both directions. I would definitely book here again

As an Amex Aspire member, we use our free night stay here annually. The rooms are super spacious, beautifully designed, and have the highest quality amenities. Service is always top notch and love that the hotel is walking distance to many wonderful restaurants and the pier. Love the pool area which we look forward to lounging around every stay. Food and drinks are also really good. 10/10 recommend!

    Where Santa Monica Hospitality Peaks: A Stay You'll Never Stop Talking About…read more It has been a few months since my stay, but I am taking the time to blanket as many review sites as I can with my feelings of this incredible property. As someone who has spent 42 years wandering in and out of Hilton properties -- more than 1,000 nights, countless check‑ins, and enough welcome amenities to fill a small museum -- I honestly believed I had seen every flavor of Hilton hospitality imaginable. Turns out I was wrong. The Hilton XLR Oceana Santa Monica isn't just another stop on the map. It's the destination you didn't know you were searching for. Let's start off with the man who should have the title of "Director of First Impressions". The man, the myth, the legend. Lenny. From the moment you arrive, Lenny greets you with the kind of warmth that makes you wonder if he's been secretly rehearsing for a role as "Most Likable Human in California." His tour of the property feels less like an orientation and more like a proud parent showing off a child prodigy. The "baby," in this case, includes a heart‑shaped pool, a gym that looks like it was designed by someone who actually enjoys gyms, a restaurant that smells like happiness, and pool loungers so comfortable you'll consider writing them into your will. Every lounger has its own umbrella, because at Oceana, squinting is apparently illegal. Morning brings coffee by the pool, and the rest of the day offers citrus water and lemonade that somehow tastes like vacation in a glass. Hydration becomes a personality trait. If you arrive early and your room isn't ready, don't worry -- waiting here feels intentional. That perfectly heated (but never too hot) pool has a way of making time slow down in the best possible way. Housekeeping? They deserve trophies. Multiple. They reset your room with such precision that you'd swear you were the first person ever to step inside. Considering this building once hosted Stan Laurel and Dick Van Dyke, that's saying something. If the walls could talk, they'd probably wink. Now, about the room. Mine was labeled "standard," which is adorable because nothing about it is standard. A four‑poster bed, a balcony, marble bathroom, seating area, and décor that manages to be stylish without trying too hard -- like it woke up effortlessly fabulous. The entire property radiates luxury without the attitude. Even the guests seem to float around in a state of serene bliss, as if they've all collectively agreed to leave their stress somewhere north of Malibu. The maintenance team works quietly behind the scenes, keeping everything polished and perfect -- the unsung heroes of the Oceana glow. And then there's the front desk dream team: Lenny, again, because he's basically the unofficial mayor. Daniel, who appears to be everywhere at once -- online chat, front desk, possibly running the building's electrical grid. Josh and Antoine, who remember your name, treat you like family, and could probably convince a grizzly bear to book a spa package. Ask where something is, and they don't point -- they walk with you. The lobby fireplace feels like stepping into your own private beach house. And that's the word that kept coming to mind: home. A very elegant, very sunny, very Santa Monica home. And I have to say this clearly: the general manager, and the entire management family, deserves enormous credit. Running a property that feels this relaxed, this polished, and this genuinely charming is no small feat. The atmosphere here isn't accidental -- it's curated with care, intention, and leadership that clearly inspires the entire team. You can feel it in every interaction, every detail, every moment. Yes, it's pricier than other options. But I've stayed in hundreds of hotels, and most of them blur together. This one? I'll remember forever. This isn't just a stay. It's an experience. And I look forward to staying in touch with Lenny, long after the stay. Seriously. That's what kind of place it is. A place where you WANT to engage, laugh and create friendships. Thank you to the entire Oceana Santa Monica family for making me feel like family while I'm far from my own. What a feeling.
