Lock in a great price for Gateway Hotel Santa Monica – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

Big and comfortable bed Clean shower and bathroom Continental breakfast was sufficient with cereal, breads, pastries and fruit Free parking

Lin, United States of America

Location in Santa Monica. Good value for this close in. Minutes to shopping and beach.

Gary, United States of America

This is a great value for Santa Monica! Modern and updated, a small but very clean and comfortable room in a quiet area and close to both the beach and restaurants without paying beach prices. I will definitely stay here again and great value for the money, especially free secure underground parking, most local hotels charge up to $50./day for parking. I used to live in Santa Monica for four years so I can assure you this was a steal for the price we paid.

Heidi, United States of America

Was amazing and for the price it was beyond expectations . Supper happy

Mario, United States of America

The check-in staff were amazing. They kindly made a room available at 11am even though check-in wasn't until 3pm. Good parking underneath the hotel, free of charge with a validated ticket.

Joshua, Australia

Beds very comfy! Requested a crib for our toddler, when we arrived it was already set up in our room! The AC worked great! Check in process was a breeze and they got us an early check in ASAP due to our flight getting in early

Trent, United States of America

It’s a very nice looking room, large and well-equipped. The bathroom is very nice, I like all of the finishes and design choices.

Vegas, United States of America

The staff was really friendly and helpful. Room staff was excellent.

Lizzy, United States of America

Love the design and decor of the rooms. Modern, tasteful, and comfortable (especially the beds). Also of particular importance to me (and actual inclusion in the rooms) are the reading lights! on the bed headboards! something few hotels have! Yay!

N/A - great establishment.
Couldn't be happier with The Gateway Santa Monica. Great location (right on Santa Monica Blvd, a 5 min drive from the pier). Helpful, friendly staff. Great, affordable rates. The rooms were clean, the beds comfy and the facilities (incl. the bathroom) perfect for a travelling family. In addition, on-site parking was free of charge which is a huge win for a travelling family, considering the average rate across most US hotels is $67+taxes in a major city. We also received a free continental breakfast each day of our stay. Again, given the food costs for a family of 4 when traveling and eating our three times daily, this saved us a bunch of money as well as giving the kids a comfy, easy meal to start the day.

Disappointing

One of the worst hotel experiences we’ve ever had. The hotel floor is old or just very damaged, because we could hear every step from upstairs, the staff kept telling us it isn’t that bad, but after a night of no sleep offered to give us another room, although we asked for a quiet one at the moment of the reservation as our trip was for business purposes and rest was very important. We had to repack and move to the last floor. Every night at 2-3am the security man ran on the roof and woke us up. The staff kept saying they’ll make him stop, but they didn’t. They couldn’t give us the invoice at our departure and asked for an email address to send it later that day. The email never arrived, and as I wrote them for this, the staff refused to send it unless I gave them sensitive information about my card via email. Last but not least, the breakfast was simply horrible, nothing healthy to eat, except 2 fresh fruits, everything was processed and wrapped in plastic and had tones of sugar or just tasted awful. For a hotel running in the 21 century it’s just wrong to use all those low quality plastic plates, forks, knives and other and nothing was reciclyed. Overall we had an awful experience. I highly recommend booking another place.
The rooms were clean and the cleaning staff was ok.

Pillows were too thick and worthless for a belly sleeper, mattress or its pillow cover thing caused my back to hurt every morning. Breakfast was very underwhelming, so we only went once during our entire stay. You could walk to the beach and shops but you’ll most likely want to take your car everywhere, it’s not a very interesting walk. For $200+ a night our expectations were a little higher, the experience felt more like a motel than a proper hotel.
Room was clean and modern albeit smaller than usual.
