Best Hotels near LensCrafters, Santa Monica

The location is very good, the transportation is convenient, the room facilities are relatively new, and the sound insulation is slightly weak

Great hotel near Santa Monica pier and walkable to many coffee shops/restaurants and shopping. The room was clean and comfortable. Strong WiFi. Bath products smell super nice. They serve Starbucks coffee in the lobby. They let us check in a few hours early and we Would stay again!

Nice clean and quiet despite being on busy Pico Blvd. I did have a room away from Pico so I'm sure that helped. Super clean, great shower and comfortable bed with fluffy bedding. Room came with a cute kitchen area. Convenient to Big Blue Bus stops which are fabulous for getting around Santa Monica and surrounding areas. I plan on staying here again!

It’s very close to Universal Studios Hollywood. Walkable distance, 8 mins walk. There is shuttle bus provided but we prefer walking. The room is spacious and clean. The stuffs are friendly and helpful. Great stay.

My daughter and I love the vibe of Venice Beach so we made a day trip from Texas out of it. Specifically because we love this hotel and the location. It is consistently spectacular. Located rt in the middle of Venice, we were able to take short breaks in our room walking distance from beach. Our room was ready when we arrived. The halls were clean, the front desk was pleasant and helpful, our room smelled like magic and sunshine. The view from the balcony was amazing and the ac worked perfectly!The front lady even told us about the complimentary bikes with our stay so we took a leisurely ride to Santa Monica on the veloway. They even come with locks. We never opened our own door as they have someone who greets you every time. We felt really special which is what you want to feel when on vacation. We checked out with Miguel who was a pleasant and happy soul who ended our stay with a smile. The hotel was amazing but the staff REALLY makes it special with their can do attitudes and pleasant and helpful demeanor! We won't even entertain any other hotels. The rooftop bar doesn't hurt either. Best views of the city...cant say enough. Stay here and you and your family will not be disappointed!

Perfect place for a shuttle airport hotel! Shuttle very 15 minutes and a great place to prepare for a trip. Pool and bar is nice. Spent way more on drinks and food than I imagined but not much around… it was fair in the end. Great bar staff.

Rooms actually look nice like the pictures. The outside looks a bit rough, but I like that the parking lot is right below. Cynthia checked me in and was patient with me and checked me in fast. I requested a room by the smoking area and an iron and extra towel at check in and by the time I reached my room the housekeeper already was waiting for me at my room door. I will be staying here again. It beats a lot of the motels on Century Blvd, and rooms are super clean.

It's best All the staff are overly friendly Help each and every erotic matter as if it were your own I didn't expect much from a hostel, but to be honest, I'd rather choose this hostel than a cheap hotel. There is nothing lacking in the facilities. The lounge on the 2nd floor and the common dining room on the 1st floor. It felt like a newly built dormitory at a university. Of course, there was no deposit, and on nights when the door to the front door and the entrance to the room were closed, you had to swipe the card 3 times to enter. I felt very safe. You can get to Santa Monica Beach within 10 minutes on foot, 1 block The bedding is also very clean. I don't think there's anything wrong with roommates here.

I would not recommend Hotel Carmel. I am frustrated with this place because I wanted to like Hotel Carmel, it's quaint and had character but the customer service was the worst I've received, hope to never experience again. I paid third party, arrived May 14-15 and took a loong time to check in, which is fine, I wasn't in a rush, but it was strange that I had to fill everything once more, provide my card and ID (standard). Once in the room, concierge came up and told me he had to swiped my card and charge me since he had not (despite having paid third party which had already been reiterated and confirmed downstairs). Figured it was for deposit. Wrong, charged for much more than I had already paid for the night, which was substantial. Then went downstairs and showed the transaction, another concierge assisted, reversed the transaction but took a looong time, guys I'm not kidding you, and I am patient. Told me the valet for $38 (it said $25 valet on my email receipt with the 3rd party but oh well) and resort fee will be waived once I check out. The next morning I mention it to the lady and she was oblivious, said it was already charged, she wasn't aware and I would need to speak to the the concierge, manager that night. I asked for a written email since I didn't want to go through the hassle a third time when I called, she did not want to, although it's a standard method of documentation amongst customer and company. Between the lack of communication, professionalism, training, documentation, process, it's a zero star.

The most caring people I have ever encountered. Upon arrival from AUS at 8.30 am my phone battery was flat and my bank travel Mastercard card wasn’t working so I was unable to pay the taxi driver. I was travelling solo and hadn’t slept in 36 hours so I was stressed and barely lucid when I walked in to the hotel. Lucia at front desk took care of things for me. We got my phone working, got the cab driver paid then she called house keeping and organised a room to be cleaned ASAP so I could check in early. I was in my room in bed by 10am thanks to her. After a lovely afternoon out and about, the next morning I woke up vomiting and running a fever. They don’t have room service so the front desk staff brought anti-nausea drugs and water up to my room within 3 minutes of me calling. They offered to phone and check in on me throughout the day as they knew I was travelling alone. The next morning when I checked out at 5.30am to get to LAX I got in my Uber and as it was about to leave the woman on front desk came running out, stopped us from leaving and said to me “you said your Uber’s a Nissan, this isn’t a Nissan, you should get out of the car”. It turned out a previous guest had taken my Uber. Once we realised this, the driver of the Uber I was in would not take me, told me to leave his vehicle and get my bags out of his car. As I had a plane to catch and was worried I would miss it, the same front desk lady rang me a cab which arrived in minutes. If you are a solo traveller STAY AT THIS HOTEL!! The rooms are beautiful, spacious and clean. To top it all off Lucia didn’t charge me for early check in; she said given how stressful getting there had been, it was the least she could do to help. Gifts from God and great beds to boot!
