What People Are Saying About Hotel Oceana Santa Monica

In Short – The lemonade-hued lobby hints at the 70 luxe beach house-themed suites, many of which offer equal views of the Pacific Ocean and the kid-friendly swimming pool. Screenwriters finishing their prose and families wanting the Promenade's day-time shopping but not its nightlife come for the posh accommodations. Decked in friendly pastels, the rooms' modern touches like plasma TVs, WiFi and iPod docks mesh with hospitality staples like in-room spa treatments, Italian-linen covered mattresses and L'Occitane bath products.

Best Hotel In Santa Monica and Los Angeles
by leeannebama
The hotel is beautiful with bright colors and a very friendly staff. I stayed here for a week and it is close to many things to do but away from the congestion of the busy parts of Santa Monica. The food at the hotel is delicious and so is the morning coffee. The rooms are very comfortable with lots of high tech touches. I highly recommend the Oceana.
- Pros: Location, Decor, Staff, Food

Great staff, above average food, ULTIMATE decor
by williambuchanan
Let me preface this by saying that I'm only going to comment on the restaurant at the Oceana (although the hotel itself is remarkable). You need to be a VIP, famous or super-rich just to dine there. At entrance, you feel like your just walking into a lounge by the pool, greeted by super-friendly staff. I have been up and down Ventura blvd. with 5 star recommendations for restaurants, and I've had abysmal experiences from them. This place is the real deal. Especially and SURPRISINGLY run by a very young staff including the executive chef, Jeff, who prepared a meal for us that rivals any top LA restaurant. Drinks...including SIGNATURE drinks.... Amazing. From the bartender Miguel.
My advise. Book a room for the ambiance. Stay for the restaurant.
The Details on Hotel Oceana Santa Monica
Parking:
Since most of the streets are permit-only or have time restrictions, it's best just to pay the $28 overnight valet fee--but it does come with in-and-out privileges.
Know Before You Go:
The guests-only cafe is open daily from 6:30am to 10pm and serves user-friendly options like veal bolognase, Maine lobster and hot fudge sundaes. Luckily, there's also treadmills, weights and other aerobic equipment in the hotel's fitness center.
The Extras:
For business meetings, the boardroom can hold up to 35 people.
