Best Santa Monica Historic Hotels

Reception
Casa Del Mar
5.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (805)
"Beautiful hotel - but the food service to the room was really really slow and the dining in general was a disappointment. Great service people but the menu is undesirable and the food not well cooked. The restaurant never appeared to have enough guests and it's for good reason. We prefer buffet breakfast and they did not have that and the menu options weren't great. I think for the number of stars and price - they should really improve their food."
