Viceroy Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"Other than our server at breakfast, staff was helpful and friendly. We had a lovely partial ocean view and the room was in pristine condition with contemporary decor. we were in town to help my son move so we did not have time to use any of the amenities. We parked at his place as the hotel only offered valet parking at a high daily fee. Location was great and walkable. Lots of great restaurants close by. We did eat one breakfast at the hotel and although the food was good, the service was terrible. It wasn’t very busy and our server never came back to our terrible to check in on us or to fill our water or coffee. He did add a 20% tip and an additional 5% service charge. So many better breakfast places nearby including Urth Cafe that we really enjoyed and sat on the back patio."
