Got in pretty late. Valet was only option. $60 overnight charge seemed a bit steep. No one at valet at check in. Other than that, place was fine. No real dining options other than the “cafe” downstairs that was just a knock off starbucks

Excellent hotel but there is the usual LA issue- homeless insane people. Clean up LA or tourism will only keep getting worse

My family and I had a really nice stay at this establishment. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub on the second floor, and the clean and friendly lobby. It was very nice being able to text the valet to get out car ready for us before we were downstairs. I’ll definitely be back for Santa Monica trips.

Standard as far as hotel goes. Pro - location close to all. Con - water pressure is dismal. Ask for a room not facing the train. You can hear it at night. Coffee shop only open mornings and evenings. You out if you need afternoon snack. Wall and ceilings ate thin. You can hear your neighbors easily even if they aren’t making much noise.

Modern, spacious room with a decent shower and comfortable beds. I appreciated that the rooms had hard flooring instead of carpet. Valet parking sounds expensive at $55 a night but city parking was $40 and nearly two blocks away, so it might be worth the convenience to you. Close to the Pier and mall as well as a Trader Joe’s just across the street. My only gripe was the price.

Unfortunately this wasnt a good stay with Marriott.
Started off with hard to find parking. Then Valet was $70 to park when I spent $405 for a night for a small hotel where the fold out bed was broken with no blankets. Once requested the sheets were dirty. The water pressure was awful in my room to the point we couldn't even take showers. Then I text Valet for my car and it states there to busy so they can't take the text function. However there wasn't anyone down in Valet waiting nor was there 20 minutes prior. As I was down there for breakfast. Overall not a good experience.
