Top Camera Obscura Hotel Reviews

Viceroy Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"Paying extra for amenities I’m not going to use is an issue for me."

The Pierside Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"The iconic Santa Monica pier is just one block away. This conveniently located boutique Hotel has a hip skater/surfboard, motif, but also an elegant bicycles are available to take on the beach. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. My only disappointment was that the pool was closed for maintenance, but they did give me a voucher to use a neighboring hotels pool. I was given a free breakfast coupon, but it was only for one particular item on the menu, which was not vegetarian. My suggestion would be to allow choosing any breakfast dish on the menu. The non-vegetarian was one of the most expensive things on the menu, so I would imagine that having a bowl of oats which cost less would not be an issue. For a hotel with a bicycle, skateboard, surfboard, motif, I think they should lean into the Health food a bit more other than that, I had a wonderful time and a great sleep in a very comfortable bed in a very well designed room."

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"Every single staff member I interacted with was friendly and helpful. You can tell they are a tight team. Room was comfortable and we especially appreciated having a small couch. Gym was great. The hotel is very close to the pier and beach access and walkable to lots of restaurants and coffee shops. Plus Target and Trader Joe’s right down the street. Very enjoyable stay."

Sea Blue Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for our anniversary night in Santa Monica and it was wonderful. The location is unbeatable, the price was great for the area, and it felt very safe and secure. The view from our room was gorgeous. My only tiny wish is that the room had been cleaned during our stay — but honestly, it didn't bother us at all. Would absolutely stay here again."

The Eden

Fairmont Miramar Hotel
