“Santa Monica gem”
I’ve stayed at this hotel several times and it is a winner! From friendly hosts to very comfortable rooms to a desirable location, it exudes class. Angie,in particular,is a most hospitable manager, and always has a smile! The location couldn’t be better. Multiple coffee shops within three blocks, … more

“Good choice in Santa Monica”
This hotel has become a “go to” for me when staying in Santa Monica. It’s a very convenient location though not close to the beach or Third Street Promenade. Nice room size, good amenities including free breakfast, and very reasonable parking rates. Bed is comfortable, good WiFi, clean, updated … more

“Better with every visit”
We have stayed at the Gateway Hotel in Santa Monica many times and it just seems to get better every time. We stayed there when it was a Best Western, then an ownership change and now I understand either new ownership or new management. Whatever the change, there was a noticeable upgrade in service… more

“Very basic hotel.”
The hotel was clean and the room a decent size, but there are no frills. Free water bottles on night one, the roof decks were closed, the restaurant shut down and one elevator was out of service for 2 days. The location is ok- about a mile from the beach but plenty of restaurants to walk to. The fr… more

“Check out is at 12 noon”
This hotel can get quite noisy especially with other guests stomping their feet loudly as they move around in their rooms! Also they charge a $100 deposit at check in! The free breakfast consists of coffee, small box of cereals, granola bars, bananas, tiny oranges and small round pancakes. My room … more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
