FOUND Hotels, Santa Monica, Series by Marriott

Location

This hotel is located in Santa Monica about 2.5 miles from the beach. It's on Santa Monica Boulevard so you can drive or take a bus down the road.
It doesn't have a pool or fitness room but they do give you a pass to LA fitness which is about a 15m walk away.
On the ground floor, there's an area that advertises coffee and croissant for $6. I didn't see it open since I left early. On the other side there is a separate Mexican restaurant that has pretty good food and service but there aren't many tables so you might run out of room. Across from the Mexican restaurant is a little corner shopping area with Domino's Pizza, Chinese food, Indian food, a sushi shack, and a 7-Eleven And on the other side of that shopping area is another one with a pizza restaurant and a fancier Chinese restaurant. And a Smart and Final across the street. So plenty of food options within a 5m walk.
They charge $30 for parking but the person at reception encouraged people to park in front of the hotel. If you park after 5pm, you can leave it overnight until 9am for no charge. I see why because there isn't much parking in the parking garage. The receptionist said that it was safe to park on the street and I didn't see any vandalism.
The rooms were kind of strange. They have a little window that look out onto a little patio. You can walk onto the patio through a set of security doors and you could then look into every guest's room. Of course, no one did that and most windows had their blinds drawn. The other thing is that every room and hallway has sketches of women, most of them in bikinis. With my daughter in the room, I didn't like the one in my room - two women with their bikini bottoms facing toward the room. I tried taking it off but it was firmly affixed. If I was going with family again, I would not stay there for this simple reason.
There's no drawers in the room but there is a closet and open space near the door where you could store suitcases and bags.
But if you're looking for a place to just spend the night, it's okay.

Stayed at the FOUND Hotel Santa Monica very pleased! Great location with bars and cafes nearby. The room was clean and cozy, equipped with AC and all essentials. Friendly staff, quick check‑in. Appreciated the free parking and on‑site bar. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend!

While on a work trip, we booked this hotel for the remainder of our stay and found it to be an excellent choice. Check-in was quick and efficient, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable, spacious, modern, and spotlessly clean - perfect for both rest and work. I especially loved the well‑equipped desk, which made it easy to catch up on work before bed. The Wi‑Fi was fast and reliable, and parking was convenient; we found spaces easily, which made navigating the city stress‑free. I would definitely book here again without hesitation.

I had a really pleasant stay at this hotel and would definitely consider coming back. The location turned out to be one of the biggest advantages — it’s close enough to Santa Monica attractions, restaurants, and shops, while still being in a relatively спокойном районе. It was easy to get around both by car and on foot. The room itself was modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with enough space to feel comfortable even during a multi-day stay. The bed was comfortable, and I appreciated how quiet it was at night, which helped me rest well after long days exploring Los Angeles. The staff were consistently friendly and approachable, always ready to help with directions or small requests. Overall, the hotel offers a great balance between price, comfort, and location, which is not always easy to find in LA.

Don’t stay here! If you want to get any sleep! Stay elsewhere! Their broken air conditioning system is louder than a stadium rock show. It’s so bad they have free ear plugs in every room! So Marriott knows they have a problem, and they take your money anyhow. I moved to 3 different rooms on 2 floors in one night! Same thing. Didn't sleep a wink. Just don’t stay here!

Stayed here for 3 nights while exploring Santa Moniitca. It's got that cool minimalist Marriott vibe. My favorite part was that I didn't have to hunt foor power outlets to charge my laptop and phone, they're everywhere. The walls are a bit thin, so I could hear someone in the hallway once or twice, but overall it was pretty chill. Much better value than the overpriced hotels right on the water

The accommodations at Found Santa Monica were exactly what our travel team needed: comfortable beds, quiet rooms, centrally located. Parents and athletes alike were very happy with the set up. The boys enjoyed a solid breakfast burrito offering, and the parents/coaches took advantage of complimentary coffee. The local food offerings a short walk (<5 minutes) away were spot on.
We chose the Found for its helpful 4x twin room configuration, which meant all the athletes had their own beds. This in turn reduced the overall cost for the trip, and was a huge help on the budget.
The location along Santa Monica Boulevard lends itself to quick access to the 405 and the PCH.

Lugar é bem localizado, quartos confortáveis e bem equipados. Um belo lugar para vivenciar o coração praiano de Los Angeles. Perto do Pier de Santa Mônica e Venice Beach e com acesso fácil às Highways mais utilizadas.

I was recently staying at this hotel i found, get it, cause its called found. I made myself chuckle. ANYWAYS, the staff was great, room was clean and the place is what the kids call a vibe. Id 150 percent stay here again and again.

End to end great experience from booking to checking out. The staff is helpful, the room was clean and as advertised, the food and bar were good, the location is great and overall I had no issues.

The Found in Santa Monica was such a pleasure to stay at. The new branding of the hotel has made really great improvements in quality of the rooms and superior service than before. The staff was immensely helpful and friendly. The General Manager Cory made sure our stay was as best as could be. The parking was surprisingly adequate for the Santa Monica area.

Loved this hotel! Staff was friendly, bent over backwards to help with anything I needed. Would definitely stay here again!

Location, helpful and friendly staff

Great stay! The hotel has improved a lot since joining Marriott. Ethan and August were welcoming and helpful. Perfect location for Santa Monica and Venice. Friendly team and a much better overall vibe.
