The staff was helpful and accommodating. Loved the proximity of hotel to the pier. However, the outside area is dirty and many homeless hanging around in the area.

The bed was comfy. Not many food options unless you leave the property. No wifi service for at least the first day. Couldnt even order food if I wanted to because I had zero service. No parking unless you pay the valet 60 bucks to park. Will never stay at this location again.

Very Good & Reasonably Priced in Santa Monica

The on-site parking valet service at the Courtyard in Santa Monica was terrific! The room was comfortable (great beds & pillows) and the bathroom was spotless. Very loud “thumping” noises from above us throughout our stay at all sorts of weird times. And the cafe was closed for breakfast on the first morning despite the prepaid charge.

Nice hotel. I did not like the $70 overnight parking. That should be reflected on ratings. Not their fault about homeless near hotel but there was on fellow sleeping in the hallway one morning.

Good clean property. Only issue is one side is facing the metro and there is a lot of noise from that station. Request a room not facing Colorado Ave/Metro to sleep better.
