Gayot "A fresh, bright, airy and comfortable alternative to the massive, and generally impersonal corporate hotels, the Oceana is across the street from the bluffs overlooking Santa Monica beach."
BlackBook "Just steps from the beach and the 3rd Street Promenade. All suites—and really very sweet on service and private beauty."
