It's a nice quiet hotel. The bathroom had some issues in our room. Faucet was not running properly and toilet flapper wouldn't seat itself so had to take the tank lid off and flap it down every time we used the toilet. I did enjoy the area. Lots of birds and peaceful. Internet was great and beds were comfortable.

How to book the cheapest flight to Santa Monica?
With some of the most incredible flight deals around, you’ll always get more for your money with Orbitz. The following useful tips will help you pick up cheap flights to Santa Monica — and leave you with more cash to splash:

  • Depending on where you’re leaving from, select the ‘Nearby airports’ function (located under the departure and arrival form fields). Occasionally, alternative departure points offer cheaper airfares.
  • If your plans aren’t cast in stone, click on the ‘Show flexible dates’ option to bring up the flight deals for a range of departure dates. Go with any suitable cheaper fare you find.
  • To optimize your results, click on ‘Show options.’ You can search based on airlines, seating class, and nonstop and refundable flights. You can also choose the time of day you’d like to fly under ‘Sort & Filter’ to the left.
  • Book your fare as soon as you know your travel dates. While you can get lucky once in a while, flights rarely fall in price as your date of departure gets closer.
  • Save on your trip by combining your hotel, flights and car rentals into a package with Orbitz. Your credit card will thank you.
  • Flying during the busy season means steep airfares. Try to travel outside of popular periods, such as Easter, Thanksgiving and school breaks.

What do I need for the flight to Santa Monica?
The secret to a comfortable and successful flight is being well prepared. Here are a few tips that’ll help get you ready for your journey:

  • Before you board the plane, you’ll need to present proof of identification, like a passport. You’ll also need your ticket. If you’re traveling with the kids, check with your airline about which documents they require — if any.
  • To keep you occupied on your short trip to Santa Monica, download your favorite songs or stock up the audiobook library on your phone. Food can also be a nice distraction while in the air, so take some light snacks.
  • Even if you’re flying when it’s 100 degrees outside, take a sweater or cardigan on board with you. Cabins can get quite chilly!

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Santa Monica?
There are ways of booking first or business-class tickets to Santa Monica that won’t burn a hole through your wallet. Claim a seat in the pointy end of the plane for less with these practical tips:

  • Be more flexible with your travel dates and wait for exclusive offers or sales on first or business-class airfares.
  • A lot of budget carriers these days offer top-notch business or premium-class seating without the pricey fees.
  • Make a bid for an upgrade. Some airlines hold online auctions that let you put down a price for a seat at the front of the plane. You can also try upgrading with points earned through a flight rewards program.

How to get into Santa Monica from the airport?
Step out of arrivals, jump in a Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX) car rental and head to downtown Santa Monica. U-Save has an on-site branch where you can pick up an awesome ride right from Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX). You’ll find the center of Santa Monica roughly 7 miles away to the northwest. Don’t feel like trying to find a decent park downtown? Then take a taxi into the city and enjoy a few relaxing days experiencing Santa Monica on foot instead. Afterward, you can see more of the region by renting a vehicle directly from the city center with one of our Santa Monica car rentals. Best of both worlds!
What is the best time to go to Santa Monica?
You’ll have tons of fun whatever time of the year you choose to go to Santa Monica, but February, March and November are the most popular months. Want to fill your itinerary with lots of warm-weather adventures? Book your getaway around June 20. This is when summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere. Expect the mercury to range between 65 ºF and 80 ºF at this time of year.
Travel tips for Santa Monica

  • The center of Santa Monica is brimming with awesome attractions. Places like Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach will keep your feet moving and the sightseer in you happy.
  • We also recommend exploring the sights a short commute from Santa Monica’s center. Find your way to Universal Studios Hollywood and Knott’s Berry Farm and experience another side of this first-rate destination.
  • Like to see the sights of Los Angeles’s other great cities? Pick up a car rental and take off to Pomona or Ontario. With your own wheels, getting to those harder-to-reach destinations will also be a cinch.
