Viceroy Santa Monica Jan 2025p
Checked in on time, but the partial ocean view room was on 3rd floor with view mostly of parking lot and buildings. Called to get it changed and no one answered. Called again and they said there were no other rooms available -even without the partial ocean view. Hard to believe as it's quite big and we checked in early. No coffee maker in room and coffee in the lobby is $6. Pool was too cold whereas down the street people were swimming in their pool. Well decorated and good food. Comfortable beds and clean. Some staff very friendly, others cold. Will try another place next time.

Nice hotel, but I have some reservations
Nice hotel, but several hidden charges you must pay at check in. The area around the hotel is not the nicest, so it’s a bit too pricey for what you actually get. Swimming pool area is tiny.

I don’t know why the hotel still gives out small plastic water bottles. Very non eco-conscious. Also, no coffee maker or hot water source in the room. Very poor room service options as well.

Probably a 3-3.5 star hotel
The pros are location, clean, friendly staff, small bottles of water available in lobby, nice vanity mirror/area, fridge. Cons are no coffee in the room, no glasses in the room to get a drink, carpet was old. We are up early and had to wait for something to open to get coffee.

Missing basics
The hotel is in a great location but missing a lot of basics — no coffee in room and none at lobby, coffee bar has 6$ coffeee but long wait times. Internet is poor and spotty and disconnects after a day. Dog friendly property so hard to get a good nights rest. Will not return

Lacked usual Viceroy amenities
Pro—staff is friendly and pleasant. Valet brings car fast since it’s parked on the side. Bathroom has shower tub, many hotels no longer have tub. Overall, amenities don’t match Viceroys like Cabo and Chicago, my two most recent stays. Property was budget hotel they gave a facelift. You can tell…view is of a dilapidated auditorium with plywood on side and busy road that’s noisy (you want low floor so you see pool and hedges). No Nespresso machine in room, if you want coffee you go to lobby, wait, and buy from bar (no morning self serve carafes). No signature slippers like other Viceroys. Drawers in closet don’t open because too close to bed. In 419, backlit vanity mirror flickers. Other luxury hotels want you to enjoy details, if you have a headache, the desk expresses how they hope you feel better and gives you two excedrin, bottled water, and asks what they can do. Here, they gave me Advil but a $6 charge per two tablets was added to bill. When my key stopped working, they asked room number without ID or name to replace, seems a security risk. Lobby is cute (peep green tiled lobby restroom), margaritas are well made, fun bikes, but not enough to overlook that I wanted in room coffee, slippers, to unpack in drawers I couldn’t open, and pool is behind building, so half is in the sun from about 8:30-9:30a and the rest of day it’s shaded and cold. I usually stay at Proper (great pool) or Georgian (fantastic dining options), tried this out, but will go back to one of those.
