Concierge "Snuck in among the posh apartment buildings on the north end of Santa Monica's beachfront boulevard, the revamped Oceana looks and feels more like a home."

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."

""Gorgeous" rooms and suites (with Frette towels, Egyptian cotton linens and high-def TVs) in a "beautiful deco building" across from the beach in Santa Monica set this "lovely, intimate" find apart."
