Hotel is small but in a good location. Basic facilities but rooms are clean and beds were comfy. Boys appreciated the vending machines and the location was very quiet compared to downtown LA. We walked to Santa Monica Brewery which was awesome and felt very safe along the way. That had cheap craft beer beer, amazing pizza, brilliant staff and vibe. We went there a few times. Easy drive into the town area for shopping, eating and drinking.

The hotel was more expensive than others but you pay for the location in a safe neighbourhood with lots to do compared to downtown LA so we were ok with the cost.

I stay at the Gateway each year, up until 2020 was twice a year. Location fantastic for my friends pub O'Briens Wilshire and then the Pier and 3rd Promenade. I have friends that live in Santa Monica

The room size is exceptional, i like the Sun Deck area on the Roof, such a chilled out feeling and also on the Ground floor where Breakfast is served, have outside area which gets the sun all times of the day. Breakfast area calming and relaxing all day and easy for taxi's for tours etc as Reception desk next to it.

Nice comfy beds, great rooms, updated and with all usual standards like fridge, cable TV and coffee maker. A very nice touch was the complimentary breakfast (all items packaged except for pancakes, so many single use paper/plastic plates etc and a lot of trash) Breakfast staff was utmost friendly, helpful and attentive. Great service. Area felt safe and walkable to Trader Joe's /Wholefoods, restaurants. Good parking garage with two subterranean levels accessible by the elevator. In the evening you could still chill outside in the balcony.

Breakfast area is much too small for the number of guests. Parking was about 17.Dollar extra per night (which is an OK price for the area for parking but should be included)

Decent location, short ride/bus/trolley to downtown Santa Monica or to downtown LA. OK breakfast, (only one flavor yogurt, pancakes, fruit, energy bars, cereal, no toast, tea/coffee/juice). There was little seating in the lobby. we took the stuff back to the room. Our room was in the back (x01, x02 stack) and was nice and quiet - except for the lead-foot upstairs, though they stopped early so we could get a good night's sleep. The parking exit was strange, took you down an alley to a side street.

Parking was extra, the bathroom faucet had a small leak. No USB ports. On-screen TV guide listed just the stations, not the programs, so you had to scroll through each station to see what was on and, even then, could not see what was next.

Wonderful area and near the UCLA medical offices- if I owned that hotel, I would include that information in the hotel information. Great coffee and small breakfast. Room was Very quiet-great mattress! Slept better than at home. Finally, the front desk staff were great and made me feel very welcome. Obvious pride in the property. The elevators were also very convenient to the parking.

Nothing, except parking was a bit tight. But, I manged with no problem.

We really liked the location, it is 10 minutes drive to the pier/beach. There is a restaurant downstairs, very convenient. There are a few other places to eat within 10 minutes walk. I really liked Uppers cafe and bakeshop for breakfast, 5 minutes walk. The room was very clean and well equipped. Just a nice place to stay, close to all the action and yet very relaxing. Garage Parking was cheap 17$ per night. I recommend this place. There is also free breakfast, but we slept in.

It was a little bit noisy, because our room faced the street. However it did not bother us much.

They provide free breakfast. (tea, coffee, pancake, fruit.. milk, cereal..) which is very good for guests.

The bed was comfortable. The room was big. The parking was tight, but free. They had a free cold breakfast. It was good a mix of cereals, fruits, yogurt, eggs, milk, tea, and coffee. The place looked very clean. I was visiting my father at the hospital. The location was close to the hospital. I could walk to the UCLA extension. The staff super helpful. They answered all your questions. My battery died and the worker there gave me a jump. So greatful. God bless that young man.

Just having to take the elevator and walk a distance. It can be a bit confusing finding your room. It was well lite and safe, so no big deal. Would stay again if I have a family member at UCLA.

No-nonsense room with everything one needs, I'd think. Very clean, comfortable bed, nice bathroom, great room maintenance, air conditioning, wi-fi. Coffee, tea, water for you in room. Few meters to bus stops for Metro busses and the BBB (Big Blue Bus) that provide reliable, save service to many parts of LA - really convenient. For example, with the bus it takes about 10min to reach Santa Monica downtown/beach promenade, 15 min to get to UCLA/Westwood/Century City, ~ 20min to reach Beverly Hills.

Nothing.

We traveled for medical reasons, and the hotel's location to the medical building was ideal. The room was clean and had all the necessities we required for our stay, plus the continental breakfast while a tad small had everything we needed to hold us over until we could go out for a larger meal.

The room location was a bit noisy because we could hear the garbage trucks and other vehicles, but the convenience of being near our doctor was worth the inconvenience. The thermometer was also a bit off, making the room colder than expected.
