We've been out to SoCal twice now, both times spending a few days in Coronado. So now that we've done that twice, I'm thinking we want to stay a little closer up but still visit the beaches, so we were considering Santa Monica. The hotels are pretty expensive, so I'm thinking 3 nights max. However my main concern is more about the family-friendliness. I don't need a kids club or any specific activities for my son, but I do want to stay somewhere where I'll be comfortable walking the grounds and swimming in the pool without other guests and staff being horrified at the sight of a 9 year old kid. I was looking at Casa del Mar (first choice) or the Loews, but I just don't know if we'd be comfortable at either one. Suggestions or thoughts from anyone who has stayed in Santa Monica would be much appreciated.
