Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica

The location was great. We wanted to be able to see the ocean but not right on the beach to avoid noise and crowds, so our ocean view room with a balcony on the 8th floor was excellent. The complimentary bottles of water were given out generously. The restaurant serves good breakfast and dinner. If one wants a cheaper choice for breakfast, there are strip malls with many convenient stores nearby. We loved the Donut King, where the people were friendly, frequently giving us free donuts, and their freshly squeezed orange juice was the best. From the hotel, it is safe and pleasant to walk to the beach, to restaurants on Ocean Avenue. It's also convenient to Uber to downtown Santa Monica, Malibu, Venice, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, etc. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. They helped us to settle in and resolved minor issues for us. The room didn't have enough lights, but it didn't matter after we got used to it. With two queen size beds, the room was too small to have chairs put in, so we sat in the chairs on the balcony. The sheets were changed every day and the house-keeping ladies were very nice. The fuse blew out in the middle of one night when a hair-dryer and tea-pot were put on at the same time, but the maintenance person came quickly to reset it. We loved our stay!

Clean and very convenient location to Santa Monica Pier

It is an excellent location - walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shopping. The heated pool and gym were great. The complementary cruiser bikes and yoga on the beach was such a nice perk!

Staff was amazing, service and kindness makes you want to stay more and come back, though there was no buffet the American breakfast with all the choices available was amazing! Bedroom always comfortable, clear, clean and nice, location was very good.

The bathroom was roomy and well-appointed. I requested a robe and a coffee machine and both were delivered quickly. We were able to find street parking and avoid the $57 daily charge. The hotel was close to Walgreens for items we forgot to pack. The heated pool was a big hit with the teens in our family and the fact that it was open until 10:00 p.m.
