Best Hotels near Douglas Park, Santa Monica

The location is very good, the transportation is convenient, the room facilities are relatively new, and the sound insulation is slightly weak

Great hotel near Santa Monica pier and walkable to many coffee shops/restaurants and shopping. The room was clean and comfortable. Strong WiFi. Bath products smell super nice. They serve Starbucks coffee in the lobby. They let us check in a few hours early and we Would stay again!

Nice clean and quiet despite being on busy Pico Blvd. I did have a room away from Pico so I'm sure that helped. Super clean, great shower and comfortable bed with fluffy bedding. Room came with a cute kitchen area. Convenient to Big Blue Bus stops which are fabulous for getting around Santa Monica and surrounding areas. I plan on staying here again!

We are Hilton Honors members and stay exclusively at Hilton properties whenever possible. They are dependable and consistent, but are always missing the small details that would bring them to great in my opinion. Service is always excellent and property is always well maintained. The details that are consistently missing: GOOD COFFEE, lighted magnified makeup mirror, nice fluffy towels and lots of them, more than one bar of soap, extra pillows. At this hotel we had three pillows, if you are going to sit up and read you need at least four. There was not a single wash cloth so I used a large towel to wash my face. Only one bar of soap and no shower gel so the soap travelled from sink to shower a few times. No top sheet on the bed so we were sleeping directly under the quilt, kind of creepy wondering if they wash the quilt after every guest. This hotel had excellent security which I appreciated because the neighborhood is a bit sketchy. You could not enter the hotel at all or use the restrooms in the lobby without a hotel key. If you didn’t have a key the receptionist would have to buzz you in. Valet parking only and expensive at $49, but worth it for convenience and safety. I did not take advantage of the pool or breakfast, but nice that they have them.

Rooms actually look nice like the pictures. The outside looks a bit rough, but I like that the parking lot is right below. Cynthia checked me in and was patient with me and checked me in fast. I requested a room by the smoking area and an iron and extra towel at check in and by the time I reached my room the housekeeper already was waiting for me at my room door. I will be staying here again. It beats a lot of the motels on Century Blvd, and rooms are super clean.

It’s very close to Universal Studios Hollywood. Walkable distance, 8 mins walk. There is shuttle bus provided but we prefer walking. The room is spacious and clean. The stuffs are friendly and helpful. Great stay.

Perfect place for a shuttle airport hotel! Shuttle very 15 minutes and a great place to prepare for a trip. Pool and bar is nice. Spent way more on drinks and food than I imagined but not much around… it was fair in the end. Great bar staff.

I would not recommend Hotel Carmel. I am frustrated with this place because I wanted to like Hotel Carmel, it's quaint and had character but the customer service was the worst I've received, hope to never experience again. I paid third party, arrived May 14-15 and took a loong time to check in, which is fine, I wasn't in a rush, but it was strange that I had to fill everything once more, provide my card and ID (standard). Once in the room, concierge came up and told me he had to swiped my card and charge me since he had not (despite having paid third party which had already been reiterated and confirmed downstairs). Figured it was for deposit. Wrong, charged for much more than I had already paid for the night, which was substantial. Then went downstairs and showed the transaction, another concierge assisted, reversed the transaction but took a looong time, guys I'm not kidding you, and I am patient. Told me the valet for $38 (it said $25 valet on my email receipt with the 3rd party but oh well) and resort fee will be waived once I check out. The next morning I mention it to the lady and she was oblivious, said it was already charged, she wasn't aware and I would need to speak to the the concierge, manager that night. I asked for a written email since I didn't want to go through the hassle a third time when I called, she did not want to, although it's a standard method of documentation amongst customer and company. Between the lack of communication, professionalism, training, documentation, process, it's a zero star.

Suited my needs perfectly. It’s the basics with a spacious, shared bathroom. The bed was comfortable, and the price was right.
