Top Santa Monica Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place LAX/Century Blvd

Hyatt Place LAX/Century Blvd

8/10 Good
"Overall wonderful staff and fantastic amenities. My only critique would be the water pressure being a bit too strong for my liking for it to not be adjustable. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings and nice mini bar selection. Definitely coming back in the future!"
