The only reason I couldn’t give Viceroy a 5 Star Rating is that the Hotel is in an apparent Contract Dispute with their Housekeepers. On Saturday morning at 8 am, a group of Protesters set up drums, loud speakers and used blow horns just below the Ocean Facing Guest Rooms in front of the Hotel Lobby and proceeded to loudly protest the Hotel.for over an hour.
The Hotel did not offer any concessions for the inconvenience, We went to the Lobby Restaurant and had breakfast and the music had been turned up to muffle the sounds of the Protestors. We then left the Hotel for the day to escape the noise. We have no idea how long it lasted. But it impacted the one Full Day we had in Santa Monica. Which was unfortunate for us.
The Hotel has been tastefully updated and has a fun Lobby and Restaurant. It seemed to have a coffee shop walk up area but it didn’t seem to operate as such and was confusing. Looked as though they changed their minds about offering a coffee service. Again that was disappointing.
Staff was Excellent in every possible way.
