great access to beaches and local eateries for relaxing strolls

I really enjoyed my stay, especially with how close it is to 3rd street and just a 15-minute walk to the pier, allowing for some great leisurely walks through Santa Monica. The rooms were clean and spacious with the bonus of a full kitchen to make my own meals when I wanted.

I had a great time with my family! The pool area was fantastic and well heated, making it perfect for our kiddos. The suite was spacious with a lovely living area and a full kitchen. Everything felt fresh and clean during our stay.

We had an awesome group trip! The beach was just a few blocks away, and we loved hanging out at Third Street Promenade for shopping and food. The rooms were spacious, perfect for chilling and cooking. The pool was a great spot to relax after a day in the sun, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Check-in took forever, which was a bit frustrating after a long drive. We waited over 20 minutes and that could definitely use some improvement.

Charming, Charming, Charming

I just had the absolute best stay! The retro vibe of my apartment felt like a throwback to the cool 60s California era, complete with vibrant tiles and cozy furnishings. The location was unbeatable, just blocks from the beach and surrounded by cute cafes

The Cal Mar Hotel Suites has a charming, vintage vibe that feels welcoming, with spacious rooms and easy access to all areas, making it comfortable for seniors like me. The friendly staff was always helpful during my stay.

Could use more accessible seating in common areas.

Santa Monica was a blast! We loved chilling by the pool and taking short walks to the Third Street Promenade, which had great shops and eateries. Our dogs felt right at home in the spacious suite, and it was perfect for our big family vibe.

My kids wished for soundproof rooms. we heard everything! Maybe some sound insulation would help families who want uninterrupted sleep.

The location is fantastic, just minutes from the beach and local shopping. The room was spacious, with a well-appointed kitchen, making it ideal for families. However, the furnishings felt somewhat outdated, and some appliances were not functioning properly. Additionally, the lack of an elevator made carrying luggage up the stairs a bit challenging.

serene oasis steps from the beach with charming retro vibes and helpful staff

Wonderful location, charming retro feel.

The room was super spacious, like an apartment with a big living area and separate bedroom. It had a nice kitchen with everything you need—definitely felt homey. Everything was spotless! They had two TVs which was cool. The only bummer was that the place seemed a bit dated, especially the bathroom and shower. But it was all clean and comfy overall.

100% recommend for a weekend trip

Spacious suite, cozy atmosphere, with a great outdoor pool that was heated, perfect for enjoying after a day of exploring the nearby attractions.

Nothing, all great.

Good for Families Seeking Space and Location

Our recent stay was quite enjoyable. The large suite fit our family perfectly, with enough room for everyone to relax. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the beach. For families, some shared meal options could be handy. Be prepared for morning noise from garbage pickup!
