Top Camera Obscura Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Miramar Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The best service and accommodations!"

Shore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Hotel was mid."

The Huntley Hotel

8/10 Good

"Been staying here for over 40 years. It is good"

Viceroy Santa Monica

10/10 Excellent

"From arrival to departure, the staff was extremely helpful and always on hand."

Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica

"Jajaj"

Sea Blue Hotel

8/10 Good

"Easy trip to the beach through a cute alley with lush plants and an incredible view of the beach. Our room was perfect for two adults, and a child in a second room. Small bathroom but manageable. The housekeeping was thorough. Parking was convenient, if not already sold out. But they sell more spots than they have, requiring you to give them your keys if you are one of the last few in for the night. Ocean avenue is very loud late into the night but if you like city sounds like me, it’s all good. Overall, great location and cute vibe but consider parking and bathroom space."

Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica
