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."
Fodor's "Generous-size suites, soundproofed windows, an open-air courtyard and pool, and ocean proximity add up to a delightful boutique hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of Santa Monica’s prettiest hotels, the Oceana has flirtatiously colorful decor reminiscent of the French Riviera. Many of the large suites have views of the ocean."

Star Service " In fact, this remains the best small hotel in Santa Monica." Full review
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."

Frommer's "Design-savvy hipsters looking for cutting-edge style and familiar comforts will enjoy this 15-story, all-suite hotel near UCLA." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The chic W is full of surprises, such as the “waterfall” entrance steps and the table games in the lobby."
BlackBook "This W perfect for chic, but practical guests who actually get to bed before 1:30am. W rooms, sleek, not so spacious."
Zagat4.2
"A UCLA dorm in its former life, this "sleek" yet "quirky" all-suiter "nestled in a quiet Westwood neighborhood" makes you "feel like a star" with "beds that beckon you to sleep all day"."
Gayot "The elegant furnishings of the 258 spacious rooms and suites include W beds with pillow-top mattresses, 350-thread-count linens and fluffy goose-down comforters and pillows."
National Geographic ""Putting Westwood on the map, this hotel is a favorite to out-of-town and local celebrities seeking sexy refuge." Full review
Fodor's "This all-suite hotel provides guests with incredibly spacious digs with colorful names like the Fantastic Suite, Spectacular Suite, and Wow Suite. All the rooms have remarkable views." Full review

Afar Magazine "It's located in the heart of Los Angeles' Westwood village...if you are looking for luxury amidst the glamor and action of the city, you may have just found your match." Full review
