The Spotlight on Courtyard by Marriott Santa Monica

Modern Comfort Steps from the Santa Monica Scene

Modern, coastal-inspired and just blocks from the beach, the Courtyard by Marriott Santa Monica places you in one of LA’s most iconic neighborhoods. With contemporary rooms, free WiFi, and a relaxing outdoor pool, it’s the kind of hotel that balances comfort and convenience for music-lovers looking to explore the west side of Los Angeles.
Whether you're catching a show downtown or heading to a beachside venue, this hotel keeps you close to the action without skimping on relaxing vibes.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans appreciate the easy access to public transport—the Metro E Line station is right across the street, making trips to downtown LA venues a breeze. If you're heading back late, the 24-hour front desk has you covered. The hotel is also far enough from the main nightlife zone to offer a quiet night’s sleep after the encore. Check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out at 12:00 PM gives you time to sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a central, stylish base
  • Solo travelers catching a dream concert and wanting a safe, comfortable stay
  • Couples turning a gig into a weekend getaway
  • Fans seeking a quiet post-show wind-down
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality and location

Food and Drink Options

On-site dining is available with a restaurant specializing in American cuisine—great for a quick bite before or after a show. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s central location means late-night eats are just a short walk away. Plus, the in-room mini-fridge is perfect for storing leftovers or snacks. Breakfast is available in the morning, ideal for those slower starts after a big night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it’s surrounded by plenty of bars and lounges within walking or rideshare distance. Whether you’re into beachy rooftop cocktails or low-key craft beer spots, Santa Monica has you covered. Want more action? Hop on the Metro to reach LA’s legendary music venues and after-hours clubs.

What People Say

Guests rave about the location—close to the beach, downtown Santa Monica, and public transportation. The rooms are described as modern, clean, and spacious, with Smart TVs and comfy beds. Travelers also highlight the friendly staff and convenient amenities like the pool and fitness center.

Areas for Improvement

The parking fees can be a bit steep, and some guests mention that the hotel’s restaurant closes early—so make sure to plan your late-night meals accordingly. A few reviewers noted that certain rooms facing busy streets may catch a bit of city noise.

The Bottom Line

For concert-lovers who want comfort, convenience, and coastal vibes, Courtyard by Marriott Santa Monica is a smart pick that hits all the right notes.

Will definitely come back

Liked: It was in a great location. Everything was in walking distance.
Disliked: The only issue I had was with guests above me who kept walking heard and making too much noise. Called front desk and they dealt with the issue and called me back to make sure it stopped.

Old hotel in good location

Liked: Great location, very close to the pier and the beach. Also across the street from the metro station. Employees were really friendly.
Disliked: It’s pretty run down, no restaurant on site, just a small cafe, my room felt like 20 years old and super basic. The view was into the hotel wall. No frills not even a small bottle of water provided upon arrival. Pretty basic and probably the worst Marriott I’ve ever been to.

Decent stay excluding valet fees

Liked: Decent location for Santa Monica beach. Not walkable for families with little kids. Rooms were cleaned every day. Room floors were hardwood. Two queen bed with street view good. Starbucks in lobby was super nice morning coffee and breakfasts (they had sandwiches, bagels, fruit bowls, etc)
Disliked: Paying for valet ($70.80) (fees 60$ + tax $10.80). Valet service is good, but most doesn’t need it though.

Good location and friendly staff

Liked: The staff was great and the location was perfect. People complain about the noise when staying closer to the pier but that is not a problem here. One can walk to the pier and other locations near the beach in less than 10 minutes. It is also convenient to have the small cafe on the property offering Starbuck's coffee and assorted lunch and breakfast items. It is also a secure location. Another advantage is having a Trader Joes and a Target a mere half block away.
Disliked: I found the bed to be most uncomfortable as it was much too soft for my liking.
