How can I get cheap hotels in Santa Monica?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Santa Monica

  1. If you're looking to travel to Santa Monica on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $193. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $313. Staying a short amount of time in Santa Monica is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Santa Monica, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Santa Monica, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Santa Monica, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

How much does a budget hotel in Santa Monica cost?
Budget hotel prices in Santa Monica vary, but you can find a great deal from $193 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—off-peak and mid-week stays are typically cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Santa Monica is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For travellers seeking cheap hotels in Santa Monica, the areas further east from the beach, particularly near the 10 Freeway and along Santa Monica Boulevard, tend to offer more budget-friendly accommodations. While true "cheap" hotels are rare in this sought-after city, these locations provide better value than properties directly on the beachfront.

Solo travellers will find that staying a bit inland still allows for relatively easy access to the beach and downtown Santa Monica via public transport or a pleasant walk. Look for hotels situated closer to public transportation routes, such as bus lines, which can reduce costs compared to relying on ride-sharing services. Exploring areas like Mid-City or even parts of West Los Angeles bordering Santa Monica can yield better rates.

Couples might consider accommodations offering complimentary amenities like breakfast or parking, as these can add up quickly in Santa Monica. Hotels in less tourist-dense areas often provide a more relaxed atmosphere and might have small, local eateries nearby that offer more affordable dining options than the bustling Third Street Promenade.

Many local events and festivals are also scheduled during these times, offering free or low-cost entertainment.
