Hotels near Big Rock Beach

"Loved the Fairmont! Mateo was the front desk receptionist was absolutely fabulous! He was kind & accommodated my friends and I. He provided us excellent recommendations and tips for Santa Monica area."

"We booked Surf Rider based on the strong reviews, especially the repeated mentions of great hospitality-but unfortunately, our experience didn't reflect that at all. The rooms are extremely small, and the noise from PCH is constant and very loud, making it difticult to relax or sleep. I asked if there was any possibility of moving to a quieter room, but the only option offered was to pay an additional $450-$1000, which felt unreasonable. We were also staying here to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and there was no acknowledgment whatsoever—no small gesture or even a simple mention, which was disappointing given the hotel's reputation for hospitality. The front desk representative look at us like we had four heads when mentioned the celebration. Overall, for the price point, I expected a much more comfortable and thoughtful experience. This stay fell short. Very disappointed we chose this over the Malibu Beach Inn who actually provides a getaway experience reflective of the price point. There’s not a rogue one or a robe."

"Had an enjoyable stay."

"If you are headed to Santa Monica/LA this is definitely the place to stay. It is reasonably priced, the staff is incredibly friendly, the amenities are so nice, the food at the restaurant is to die for but most importantly everything is CLEAN! It’s been a long time since I’ve stayed at a hotel that hits all of the important factors in a stay. I have absolutely no complaints about the property and my entire stay. I highly recommend and ocean view room, the views are incredible! You almost don’t ever have to leave the hotel! The pool is beautiful, the restaurant is open for all 3 meals, and you have everything you could need. Our stay included access to bikes at no additional cost which was also really cool! Could not recommend this hotel more, you won’t be disappointed!"

"Very clean room, delicious breakfast, parking in the property. The staff was pleasant and friendly.Great location in Santa Monica, but you will still need a car."

"Loved the salt and stone amenities in the bathroom. Bed was comfy. Valet cheaper than a parking ticket. Close to everything but a nice retreat in the city."
