This hotel was super nice despite being a bit on the older side. They had a Machine Gun Kelly coffee pop up so the music was bumping upon arrival, our kind of vibes! The front desk worker, Burke, was super accommodating and friendly. We had the 2 bedroom suite on floor 4 with corner view and could see the beautiful palm trees, beach, and Santa Monica Pier! The pool and hot tub were great, our kids loved it. The rooftop lounge was great, the bartender was super friendly and the drinks were delicious. America isnt shy pouring the booze! We would definitely stay here again!

This review comes from an additional day I stayed at this wonderful historic hotel. Staff were beyond awesome. Family friendly which keeps us coming back to this hotel. The outdoor pool is perfect in temperature. Each window from my room had an ocean view which I love and appreciate it. Julien, Burke, and Ihor, were wonderful hosts, made my family happy and welcomed. Very kind and friendly, thoughtful and extremely helpful.

The historic hotel is a charm so beautiful. The room I stayed was incredible, ocean views everywhere. My twins ages 6 had a wonderful time in the pool and hot tub. The pool area has a lot of seating are, towels, and tables. The temperature of the pool was just perfect. All the employees were above and beyond excellent in customer service. They definitely made me and my family feel welcome and special. Burke and Ihor were wonderful I like to recognize their outstanding work ethics and professionalism/ customer service. I been a few times at Santa Monica and the Eden hotel is by far my number one choice for hospitality.
