Hotel Near Santa Monica Beach
If you’re searching for a hotel near Santa Monica Beach, you probably want three things: easy beach access, a clean and comfortable room, and a rate that makes sense.
SureStay Hotel by Best Western Santa Monica offers all three.
Located about three miles from Santa Monica State Beach, our hotel gives you convenient access to the sand and ocean without the premium pricing and late-night noise that often come with beachfront hotels.
You’re close to the beach — just not overwhelmed by it.
Many travelers assume oceanfront is always better. But there are practical considerations.
Higher Nightly Rates
Beachfront hotels often charge significantly more per night.
Expensive Parking
Parking fees at beach hotels are often higher and harder to reserve.
Crowds and Late-Night Activity
Santa Monica Beach and Pier remain busy well into the evening, especially during peak season and summer weekends.
Limited Space
Beach properties can feel compact and busy.
Staying slightly inland offers a quieter atmosphere and better overall value — while still keeping the beach within easy reach.
At SureStay Hotel by Best Western Santa Monica, we focus on providing a dependable, comfortable experience at a fair price.
