OCEANA - Santa Monica, CA

[jsattapr2]

f.y.i, was in the Santa Monica (actually Pacific Paisades) this past weekend to visit a friend. We werewalking south on Ocean Avenue when I noticed the entrance for the Hotel Oceana. Since I had read about it here on LL, we decided to stop in and look around.



The staff was extremely accommodating, especially when I mentioned I had heard about the property on LL. The front desk person suggested we look at one of their suites, even though we were not going to spend the evening. The furnishing area little out of the ordinary, but the suite was huge and had a lovely view of the Pacific.



We decided totake a short break at the Ocean Lounge and enjoy a glass of wine by the roaring fireplace next to the swimming pool. Lovely environment.



I would not consider paying their rack rate for a suite, but getting a bargain here on LL might be the way to go on my next visit to the area.



This is a "THUMBS UP" property in my opinion!

kyshel & -O-, I've snagged a minimum bid auction package for The Oceana and I'm going back for another long weekend.

I love the town and I love this hotel.

Wow, I just returned from a long weekend Luxury Link package at Hotel Oceana in Santa Monica. All I can say is the place was fabulous and the entire staff could not have done more to add to the experience.

They also have loaner bicycles for guests, which are perfect for use on the bike path down Santa Monica, through Venice and all the way to Marina del Rey.

I can't wait to return!

J-s-2, my family and I are great fans of Santa Monica and Venice.

We've never stayed at the Oceana, but it does seem to be like the type if place we would enjoy.
