Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica ★★★★

"This hotel had ants in the bed; I was on my phone at night and saw them crawling on the sheets. The facilities are ancient, seriously! The location is great, but the rooms and bedding are just too old. If the weather is nice, the full sea view room is comfortable. It's just so outdated. There's also a Hilton nearby, very close to Monica Beach. Parking is quite good with in-and-out privileges, and breakfast was decent."

Courtyard Santa Monica ★★★

"The location is super convenient, right by a subway station, and just a few minutes' walk to the mall and pedestrian street. The beach is also within walking distance. The hotel itself is reasonably clean, but it can't quite compare to hotels of the same price point and brand back home in China. There's also a supermarket close by."
