Avoid only summer, when morning fog can hang over the coast and the boardwalk gets crowded.
Fodor's "A school of 300 ceramic fish crossing a lobby wall sets the tone at this stylish property." Full review

Oyster4.0
"A design-conscious, thoroughly un-beachy 18-floor hotel in the center of a beachside community with an exceptional restaurant." Full review
Time Out "There's something of the W chain about this operation, located in the building that previously housed a branch of the unremarkable Radisson chain." Full review
Star Service "With that said, travelers here may have to work to get to the action, but they are still within strolling distance of the pier, beach, shopping and entertainment." Full review
Gayot "This intimate residential tower is set amidst quaint seaside apartment buildings and cottages just blocks from the sea cliffs above the Santa Monica Beach and Pier."
BlackBook "Ocean chic is what it's all about at this it hotel on the shores of tawny Santa Monica. Seaside retreat, but with a touch of cool."

Request a room facing the alley -- the view is terrible, but you don't get the 24-hour road noise off Fairfax Avenue.
Concierge "You won't find actual farmers here, but the famous Farmers Market is just a short walk from this cute, family-owned hotel."
Fodor's "A favorite of The Price Is Right and American Idol hopefuls... this motel has a tongue-in-cheek country style: rooms are upholstered in blue gingham with denim bedspreads." Full review

"Denim bedspreads and rocking chairs give this flirty motel a groovy farmhouse vibe." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The “price is right” at this motel opposite the Original Farmers Market and CBS, which explains show contestants taping at the TV studio."
Rough Guide "Conveniently located across from (naturally) the Farmers Market,this is a newly renovated boutique property with internet access, DVD players, flat-screen TVs and elements of Midwestern kitsch."
Travel + Leisure "Straddling the line between Hollywood and West Hollywood/Beverly Hills, the Farmer’s Daughter Hotel offers travelers a bit of Southern hospitality in the City of Angels." Full review
Time Out "You can tell instantly that this was once a basic motel. It's a credit to the new owners of the gingham-giddy Farmer's Daughter that it feels pretty fresh." Full review
Star Service "Solo travelers will fit comfortably into the single rooms, but the larger double rooms are best for two travelers. Rooms with glimpses of the Hollywood sign are popular." Full review
Gayot "In a city where facelifts don't always work out the way one hopes they will, this family-owned motel has nothing to worry about."
