10/10 Excellent
We loved the Montage! We have stayed in many great hotels, and on this trip to California also stayed in the Biltmore Four Seasons in Santa Barbara, and Shutters in Santa Monica. The Montage was far and away the best of these three. The service was faultless, the hotel and surrounding grounds beautiful, and dining options excellent. The views are wonderful, and little touches (like a complimentary champagne in the room bar), make all the difference - great attention to detail.

Room and bathroom were great, loads of space and a great view of the beach from the balcony.
Staff all polite and friendly and the valet parking works like a dream. Breakfast was quality and plentiful. Would prefer a proper bean to cup machine for coffee rather than gas station filter coffee, but apart from that 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We had a pool view balcony. Room was nice, spacious and clean. Would love a sea view next time. Pool was small but very nice area with a deep end for jumping in and shallow end. Steps down to the beach and there is a patio area with sun beds / loungers and tables and chairs which was great, especially at high tide. Watching and listening to the waves was amazing. Swimming in the sea was great but be careful if there are big waves. More so at high tide but there is a life guard only meters away....
