Front desk staff didn't let me know the resort fee when checking in, but the manager was helpful and understanding, granting me a one time waiver. The AC was not working well sometimes, the system didn't let you adjust the modes efficiently.

For the rate they are charging per night, I would expect coffee/tea and daily water to be provided - at minimum - in the room. This property does not provide any coffee/tea in the room unless you ask. And when I asked, they told me there were no coffee makers available. There are two tiny bottles of water given on check in, but not replenished. That’s unacceptable for a high priced facility.

Lovely Santa Monica with a view of the beach

Great hotel with great staff. In particular the chief concierge, Alex, was amazing. The property was down an elevator during my 4 day stay, which impaired us slightly. Pool that was supposed to be heated, didn’t appear that way at all. Otherwise , food is outstanding at Sugar Palm and the rooms are comfy.

An uncomfortable rip-off. Never again.

One of the most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept in, bar none. This fresh coat of paint on the tired Viceroy works as visual comfort but not "actual" comfort. Additionally, the hidden fees and surcharges are just robbery and frankly, insulting: $58 for parking + $10.44 for parking tax, an occupancy tax of $50.95, a $7 SM tourism fee, a $40 Guest Amenities Fee (what amenities?), and more to list for a room costing $335.20. In the room there's no coffee/tea machine and no mini-bar with drinks and snacks just in case you want something. Instead, you have to order a $10 coffee + tip or have it delivered from a delivery service.

This is a really nice hotel that is conveniently located to the Santa Monica Pier. The hotel room was clean and comfortable, however, it was really noisy as we were located across from the fitness room and above the kitchen so the door to the fitness room start banging around 6am each day and there was a constant humming from AC units. I did mention this the day we checked out and the staff handled it perfectly. The shower appeared to be an eco shower, however, you had to spend double to amount of time to get any benefit. The area around the hotel was clean and the food (breakfast) was lovely with friendly and polite staff. Parking was a little pricey, however this was comped due to the issues with our room which was nice of the staff to do. I was a little disappointed not to receive a free room upgrade as part of the Platinum VIP perk, however totally understand that this was on an availability basis and the room we did have was lovely and we had a partial sea view which is what I paid for. Overall, a lovely staff with some good and bad but this is something you get everywhere. If you are ever placed in room 202, ask to be moved haha!
