Service was poor. Only one elevator working. Pool areas are very small. There is no separate kids pool as described. I returned my food for poor quality. I experienced other Viceroy properties and this one is truly disappointing. From check in to check out my experience was less than satisfactory.

It was ok
The hotel was nicely designed but located on. It is super busy street. The ocean view was great, but you could not open the window because of the loud noise of the main street in front of the hotel. The service and staff was wonderful. The pool was, very unimpressive, it was too small and not enough chairs. We couldn’t enjoy the outside because there were too many families with little children everywhere.

Not quite 5 star
A decent experience. Not quite the elevated one promised by the brand, but close. Lack of air-conditioning for our first two days and nights made sleeping unbearable. Hotel staff refused to give us a fan and then on our next request told us they were all booked out. Once AC was fixed, a much more enjoyable room. We had a higher floor room with a “balcony” which was in fact patio doors to a railing. It was nice to have the air flow but the noise from the boulevard did make it hard to relax on the weekends. Lack of coffee maker or kettle in the room is baffling, but then again they charge $6 per coffee in the lobby, so lucky us. The hotel is located one block from the beach and close enough to walk to the pier and main areas for restaurants and shopping. Onsite restaurant is great. Service is attentive. All in all a pleasant stay, just not quite the elevated one we had hoped for.

Great stay. The hotel is very clean, and in close proximity to lots to do in the area. I thought the service was excellent as well. In fact, I'd like to give a special shoutout to Lynette at the restaurant and coffee/bar area. Lynette, you made my trip and birthday great fun! Thank you for your A-game service. The one remark on the downside that I'll make is I had construction going on each morning in my room. While the view and setup and room were lovely, the noise was a bit tough to have that early in the AM each day. Overall, would I stay again? Absolutely.

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay at the Viceroy. The hotel is located in easy walking distance to the beach, Santa Monica Pier and great shopping and dining options. Loved our eighth floor city view room. You do need to be careful of the bathroom sliding door. It was nice to relax by the pool after a day out sightseeing. Staff was amazing and attentive.

Enjoyable stay
Our first time in Santa Monica and very much enjoyed the stay. Location- convenient for walking the beach area or quickly getting on I-10 or PCH, or heading to main street Santa Monica. The corner it is on is not congested like further up the street. Staff - very nice and welcoming, front desk, parking, restaurant/bar they were great. Valet parking is what it is, but they were fast and friendly. Restaurant- we only ate breakfast but very tasty and reasonably priced. Room- comfortable. I like the hotel size, not too many people or waiting on elevators. So that’s it, I enjoyed the stay and if we ever come back will stay there again.

I use Expedia ALL the time and love it but this time for the first time I was VERY Disappointed with My stay I recently stayed at Viceroy and unfortunately, my experience was far from what I expected. I paid nearly $700 a night, and I feel like I didn’t get what I paid for. Firstly, upon arrival, we were not informed that the hotel was hosting a wedding. This meant we had no access to the patio with the fire pits or the outside bar, which completely changed the atmosphere of the hotel. We had planned to enjoy a nice dinner at the hotel on Friday and a beach dinner on Saturday, but with the wedding happening, it felt like we were missing out on the amenities we were looking forward to. I rented a cabana for over $300 and out cabana was the only one that didn't have a carpet causing my daughter to fall since it was so slipper We hat to lay towels all over the floor Additionally, the elevators were out of service during our stay. Being on the 8th floor, we had to take the stairs twice because only the maintenance elevator was available, and the wait for it was far too long. Overall, I left feeling very disappointed with my stay. I expected a much better experience for the price I paid. I hope the management takes these issues into consideration for future guests.

Best downtown Santa Monica stay
I have stayed in several hotels in the downtown Santa Monica area over the past several years, and the Viceroy stands head and shoulders above similarly priced hotels in the area. We stayed for 5 days on this occasion and the staff were unfailingly kind, helpful, professional, and excellent across the board - from the valets to the front desk to the restaurant. Our only slight issue was an air conditioning problem one morning that was remedied within 30 minutes of being reported. The restaurant food is not inexpensive but was excellent and the pool area was lovely and relaxed during our stay. Housekeeping was also impeccable. In my opinion, this hotel is the best in its price range in the downtown SM area and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
