I reserved a "Superior" room...I cannot imagine how are the "Standard" ones...The room was very small and the furnitures outdated. Bathroom was tiny. Many reviewers say that this hotel has a lot of charm. To me it is simply outdated...Location is terrific (I guess this is the only reason why you agree to pay that price). No service at all.... more

The best features about the Embassy are its location, room sizes and fully equipped kitchen facilities however it lacks parking and other amenities you would expect to find in a "hotel". We stayed at the Embassy for five nights in a one bedroom apartment with our three children 16, 13 & 11 making Santa Monica the base for our trip... more

We stayed at the Embassy for 7 nights with our 8 year old child, in one of their one room suites. The living room was huge, the kitchen very well equipped, the bedroom was spacious with comfortable beds, a lovely bathroom. We all adored the charm and atmosphere of the hotel and of the garden. It is the first time,... more

My husband, 23mth old son and I stayed at the Embassy Hotel Apartments for a week at the beginning of November. We were very very happy with the size and facilities of our room. We had a full kitchen, which was a massive plus when traveling with a toddler. We also had access to a laundry too which came in... more

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Embassy Hotel Apartments. The location was fantastic - 3 blocks from the beach and 2 blocks from Third Street Promenade which had lots of restaurants and shops to choose from. The Pier was also within walking distance. Sure it wasn't 5 star but from the pictures we saw it wasn't... more

We stayed at the Embassy hotel for 3 days at the end of our tour of California. When we went into the hotel there was a terrible stale dusty smell throughout the hotel. We managed to get rid of this in our room after 3 days of having the windows open day and night. The hotel has very old fashioned... more

After a nightmare journey through the LA traffic, the Embassy proved a great sanctuary. It’s a nice old building with Moorish architecture in a quiet residential area. As a bonus the hotel is only a couple of minutes walk from both the sea front and the third street promenade. The hotel reception isn’t staffed after 6pm but the late arrivals... more

We had a very pleasant 2 night stay in August. Our room was a standard. It was clean and situated in a quiet residential area yet minutes away from the bustle of 3rd Street Promenade. Parking was not a problem and was free. I was a little disappointed at the SM Pier area as it was quite dirty. Streets were... more

We stayed in the Hotel Apartments for 4 days and we really got a warm welcome. The location is great and the people are friendly and very helpful. However, they are there only certain hours of the day (9 am - 8 pm). The room was nice and was fairly spacious. The bathroom was very small and my girlfriend and... more
