Perfect.
Pros:

Location, facilities, cleanliness, comfort.

Cons:

Nothing at all. Some people had mentioned noise disturbances from the nearby Tram. Yes you could hear “something” but it was absolutely nothing to worry about or really disturbing. I would definitely stay here again.

Quarto bom, mas a vizinhança incomoda
Pros:

Banho excelente; espaço do quarto diferenciado; o recepcionista Aaron é muito cortês e não mede esforços para atender bem o cliente.

Cons:

Em frente ao prédio ha uma estação de metrô que funciona 24h ao dia; há barulho o tempo todo; o recepcionista Paul não presta bom atendimento ao cliente.

Customized experience and service
Pros:

America has been an amazing attendant. This is the second time she's taken care of my needs and always makes me feel like I'm the only customer. She always goes above and beyond with her service.

My daughters 15th birthday in Santa Monica
Pros:

I stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott in Santa Monica for my daughter’s 15th birthday, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The moment we checked in, the staff went above and beyond. Everyone was so friendly. They anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask.
The front desk supervisor who checked us in was especially great. He made sure we knew where everything was, including the elevators (which I really appreciate since that’s often overlooked). He provided local recommendations and made sure we knew the hours for the café and pool. They recognized my daughter’s birthday. It made her feel so special
The valet attendants were also super friendly and helpful every time we came and went. It’s clear that everyone here genuinely enjoys making guests feel welcome.
We’ll absolutely be staying here again next time we’re in Santa Monica. Thank you to the entire team.

Incredible service
Pros:

I travel a TON and can confidently say that Jordan (front desk) at this location was the most polite, helpful, and friendly person I’ve dealt with in a long time. Rooms clean and accomodating. Will always recommend
