Anita, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great SM location

Great location with variety of room options ideal for a family. The two br suite was great for our family (just be aware it’s literally 2 br and that’s it, no family or hangout space). Great restaurants near by with an amazing pool deck and courtyard area. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing location! Comfortable beds, beautiful pool, clean rooms with mini fridge, coffee maker, kettle, and all that you need in a room. We would stay here again for sure!
Susan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All we had hoped for!

Our second visit to the Beacon, Santa Monica. Ocean view well worth the extra cost. Unfortunately the roof top bar was closed, but hopefully be open when we return to Santa Monica in September. Keep the room rates to an affordable price, and we will DEFINITELY return.

Santa Monica is one of my favorite places! This was a GREAT location and great room!
Michelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The apartment is the perfect set up for traveling with my kids. Great to have a kitchen and two rooms with beds.
Rebecca, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Awful stay

Our room was located next to Club Coco and the music was so loud that we could not hear the TV and the room vibrated from the bass. The music played until 2am Friday and Saturday and Sunday from noon until after midnight. When asked upon check out how our stay was, I voiced my dissatisfaction and how upset we were, his response was “that’s because you were next to Club CoCo” and never apologized.

Beach holiday

Great two bedroom apartment for a family stay at the beach.
Rebecca, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A Gem in Santa Monica

We had a wonderful stay at Sonder The Beacon. The staff were super pleasant and helpful, no query was too difficult. The heated pool in the winter was an added bonus. Location was terrific, right on the beachfront and close to shopping, restaurants, cafes and grocery stores. All in all we were sad to leave and can't wait to return.
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Would stay again

Great stay, app made it easy and someone replied all the time. View was amazing of Santa Monica beach! Great location close to bars and restaurants and the beach. Made the stay perfect. Felt safe even though I was a female alone. Only thing that sucked was I couldn’t get a late checkout and there was no showers and my flight was late in the evening but other than that would stay again!

Great place to stay if you want more of an apartment vibe. Good value for the money. Nice pool area and rooftop bar.
Mark, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Such a good location. Walking distance to everything I needed or a quick scooter ride. The rooms are big, super comfortable and worth every penny.
Gregory, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the easiness for check in and out. Roomy and clean. No hotel extra riff raff. Price was great. Room w a view of Santa Monica beach and ocean. Roof top bar w great views. Pool area was nice for lounging w multiple places to sit- even around a fire pit. We will be back for sure.
