Cal Mar Hotel Suites

Beware, if it’s middle of summer, NO AC, but we were here in October and were comfortable with the two large fans. If your here for longer and want walking distance to beach, this could be good.. having a full kitchen and two large rooms is great. Our room was very “dated” which was fine, but “double beds” were too small for two average size people... and need new mattresses

No air conditioning. At check in I was givin absolutely no information. Not even directions to the room. Just handed me the keys. No ice machine.

Great location and front desk people were really nice but all the reviews are pretty accurate. It was in a great location we walked to the beach with our kids through the promenade. However there were some really loud uncontrolled kids running up and down the stairs and slamming doors that went on until about 11pm. The hotel said they have security it would have been nice if they enforced some type of quiet hours. Also our room was convenient that that it is basically a one bedroom apartment however it was not updated like the picture showed.

It was a good stay, location was great !

I just don’t know where to start checked in at 11 PM person at the desk immediately charge me $22 per night for party stuff was unfriendly the room dirty no I AC horrible condition of everything inside No housekeeping for the 3 nights we stay and some of the lights don’t even have lightbulbs in it bathroom very small balcony very dirty if you want to stay in Santa Monica definitely choose another hotel

Great. Does the trick. Walk to everything around. ANY BAD REVIEWS .... are probably from those that are not humble. WE LOVED IT. KITCHEN LIVING ROOM BEDROOM. Compartments for your stuff. TV. Nice pool. It is a bit older but it’s still nice. What’s not to like?

Overnight with the in laws. Perfect location, nicely appointed rooms. Can’t say enough good things about the front desk staff!!!

It was my 50th birthday. The room I booked on line was a king size studio with a private balcony but when we checked in it did not have the private balcony. I asked the front desk person and she told me the price I was quoted on line was not the right price for the room with the private balcony. So my husband and I decided that the room we had was fine. I was a little disappointed though. We were on the first floor and the first night at about 11:30pm some people were checking in and not to my surprise they were right above us. They had some children and the children were running back and forth on the walkway and in their room which was again right above us. I had to go to the front desk and let them know that they were running and jumping. The whole time we stayed 4 days and 3 nights we had to keep telling the front desk about it. Also the hotel/motel had NO A/C. The cellingfan made a God awful squeaking noise which could not be fixed. Thank God I brought a small fan so we could keep a bit cool. Also no where in the on line reservation page does it say we have to pay for parking $22.00 a day. That was a fee that was not fitted into our budget so that took away from our vacation fund. Please have the owner update their page with the correct prices for each room and also add NO A/C in ANY of the rooms just fans and also state parking is available but will cost $22.00 a day.

Excellent staff. Arrived with a very sprained and swollen ankle and the housekeeper immediately assisted me and got me all set up with some ice and my foot up. Very thankful. I love this place and the location.

wonderful, classic, unpretentious
