Hotel Oceana is a luxury hotel if you get the right suites. The hotel is only 3 floors high and only has suites. The hotel has hardwood flooring so if you dont want to hear people walking around above you all night you have to be on the third floor. Also, if you want a nice view of the ocean you have to be on the third floor.

My Husband & I spent the weekend in Oceana Santa Monica and we enjoyed it very much! The hotel is located right by the beach and the boardwalk. Excellent restaurants, lots of shops, activities, and a very friendly staff. The rooms were beautiful and the view is stunning! The perfect place for a romantic weekend! The pool has a sitting area and a fireplace. I really liked the design of the rooms, lobby & pool. We both agreed that this is the perfect place for a romantic weekend!
We enjoyed our stay and looking forward to our next visit to the hotel.
Pros: location location location!, beautiful room
The room was gorgeous with a view of the ocean. We got room service our first night and it was better than we expected Super comfortable bed, luxe linens, tv was great. We loved everything about the place and the staff was fantastic and very helpful. I definitely would recommend to anyone who wants luxury by the sea. My husband and I went for an anniversary treat and were treated like royalty.
Pros: Location, location, location
Cons: none
one of the cleanest hotels ive ever been to.. i even did a black light test on it and it was spotless!
The hotel is beautiful with bright colors and a very friendly staff. I stayed here for a week and it is close to many things to do but away from the congestion of the busy parts of Santa Monica. The food at the hotel is delicious and so is the morning coffee. The rooms are very comfortable with lots of high tech touches. I highly recommend the Oceana.
Pros: Location, Decor, Staff, Food
Cons: None
Let me preface this by saying that I'm only going to comment on the restaurant at the Oceana (although the hotel itself is remarkable). You need to be a VIP, famous or super-rich just to dine there. At entrance, you feel like your just walking into a lounge by the pool, greeted by super-friendly staff. I have been up and down Ventura blvd. with 5 star recommendations for restaurants, and I've had abysmal experiences from them. This place is the real deal. Especially and SURPRISINGLY run by a very young staff including the executive chef, Jeff, who prepared a meal for us that rivals any top LA restaurant. Drinks...including SIGNATURE drinks.... Amazing. From the bartender Miguel.
My advise. Book a room for the ambiance. Stay for the restaurant.
