Days Inn by Wyndham Santa Monica/Los Angeles

The location of the hotel is in proximity to Tom Bradley Airport, Santa Monica Pier and Hollywood Boulevard. It is in a decent and quiet neighborhood and this gives a safe feeling walking around. The rooms are big and has all basic amenities to make your stay enjoyable. You can request for room cleaning as and when you need it. Breakfast was basic but ok for an Inn. Check in was smooth and quick. I want to give a shout out to Noah who checked us in and showed interest in everything concerning our trip and helped us to call a taxi to town. Another shout out to Manny who spent a lot of time engaging us with beautiful conversations. It's never dull around the reception area. Good job guys. You are awesome. Not forgetting the cute lady full of smiles.

The room was really light & bright and spacious with a nice large balcony. The bathroom was spacious with a lot of bench space. The hotel also had a sun room with lounge chairs for the guests to use on the top floor. The balcony had a table & chairs and looked toward the Santa Monica beach area. They also had a car park which cost an additional $10 per night - I thought this price was more affordable than previous hotels but I still think it is a bit much to ask guests when they are already paying a premium price to stay at the hotel. They did offer a lite continental breakfast in the morning consisting of either granola bar, muffin or pastry and tea or coffee which was nice.

Our room was clean, cleaning staff never failed. Beds were comfortable. Staff was friendly. There was a breakfast area. Complimentary choice of breakfast was poor (too many sweets) but you could bring your own food and eat there with hot tea and take an apple. Parking was easy, included in a room price and there was a direct elevator to your floor. Santa Monica is a good location for sightseeing LA, Beverly Hills, Venice and Long Beach. It has also nice beaches and it’s good to be away from the city hectic in the evening. Anyway you need a car. The distance to the shore or downtown is not walkable. We enjoyed our stay there.

The staff was extremely nice! Robert checked me in and even helped out with my future days, I had to book an extra day separate and he made sure I didn’t have to check out and check back in which was very convenient. Manny was also very kind and helpful throughout our stay. These folks are top notch when it comes to service! This place is more economical so you’re not getting high end hotel accommodations as far as the room. We didn’t take advantage of the breakfast but if we needed anything the front desk was very nice and helpful. You’re more likely gonna park in the garage underneath but you need your key to get into the door to the elevator. I felt fairly safe. The area in Santa Monica was pretty quiet so we could rest. I do think the people above us were partying but we were still able to rest. The place was clean and provided us with the essentials. The TV didn’t have HDMI but we made due. We also didn’t take advantage of pool. The pier and Promenade are a close drive. Universal Studios wasn’t too bad of a drive either. We went on a Sunday so traffic was awesome. If you’re looking to save a bit; I’d book here; the staff, alone, makes it worth it. Overall it was good for the money. It’s LA; it’s expensive!

Very cozy and clean! Big room and looks exactly like the pictures. Located between Santa Monica Pier and Beverly Hills which makes it perfect to drive around and enjoy LA
