My wife had to have surgery and they let us check in early so she could do her prep for the surgical procedure. Staff was very accommodating for us. Clean, nice rooms and good parking below. Great restaurant Socalo downstairs that is excellent! The restaurant is one of the best eats I've had in a long time! Will be staying here again!

Not a particularly friendly welcome

Not a particularly friendly welcome. No smiles. No engagement. No upgrade was offered despite being a VIP Parking cost not advertised upfront 17 dollars. Breakfast offering could not be described as a "healthy" one, consisting mostly of sugary foods.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They went above and beyond! Clean up rooms, I appreciated no rugs in the rooms. 30 minute walk to the Pier. Short walk to bus and metro. Good coffee and breakfast. Very reasonable rates for a great stay.

A great Hotel in Santa Monica where hotels nearby can run $400 a night. I chose this hotel a few blocks north of the ocean and saved a lot. I have stayed at a hotel in Santa Monica next to the ocean and to be honest the Gateway room was just as nice as the hotel that cost $200 more. It’s just as convenient to restaurants as the other place. I have found my new Santa Monica hotel.

The property was great, very clean and convenient. The staff were helpful. The only issue I had was they asked for a credit card for the file, which is fine. At the time I asked if the card would be charged or just held on file for damages. They said it would be held on file. I was charged but then refunded slightly less than what they charged. I also left the room in immaculate condition and have not had a reply yet about this.

Serviceable and clean

This hotel is clean and functional. While the decor is all clearly new and well maintained, the style is a bit dated. Think pastels. Staff was friendly and helpful. They shut down loud music in the room next door within a few minutes. Breakfast was not impressive, however neighborhood is convenient. Famous restaurant next door and a great little coffee house across the street.
