Updating from my original review: After sharing my experience, the general manager, Helmuth, reached out personally and was incredibly kind and understanding. He took the time to really listen and assured me that they're taking steps to improve. It was clear he wanted to make things right and presented resolutions. We truly appreciate how seriously he took the situation; it showed genuine commitment to provide the best care possible and that he cares about the well-being of not just my animal, but all animals who come to thi... read more

Jai at Wag Hotels - Santa Monica is incredible! My dog Jax loves his overnight stays, thanks to Jai's exceptional care. He goes above and beyond, ensuring Jax is happy, comfortable, and full of energy. Jai's kindness and dedication give me total peace of mind. His care for Jax makes Wags feel like home. I have nothing but great things to say about the team at Wags Hotel Santa Monica! As a client for 2+ years, I'm 100% confident in trusting their staff to care for my furry friend, Jax.

I want to take a moment to highlight an exceptional employee at this facility. Joshua (Josh) is a dedicated worker with a genuine love for dogs, evident in his work ethic. He's such a helpful guy and always has a quiet smile. When it comes to my little guy, Rocky, he consistently goes above and beyond, but also ensures every animal receives personalized attention and care. Thanks to Josh's warm demeanor, Wag Hotel SaMo is a second home for Rocky. He is awesome & deserves special mention! Thank you from the bottom of our hear... read more

I had such a great experience with this location! Ive tried other boarding facilities but this location surpassed my expectations. They sent photos with updates on how my baby was doing the whole time I was away which I really appreciated. It was very clean as well which was awesome and very important. Everything was smooth. I will definitely be using this location again. The manager (Helmuth) even took time to talk to me when I came to pick up to see how my experience was. 

Business response:

We are honored to have provided such a great experience for you and your baby at Wag Hotels - Santa Monica. Thank you for sharing your positive feedback!

I had a mixed experience here. First, I think it's pretty terrible for overnight stays that you need to pay extra for play time? It's sad to think it's ok to keep your dog locked up when there is plenty of play space there. Second, when I picked up my dog from a 3 night stay, they brought her out and instantly apologized b/c they discovered she had slept on an open black marker (I assume a dry-erase marker from a staff member). My cute white fluffy dog had a huge black spot on her leg and her chest. They just gave her to... read more

Business response:

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me today Nicole! We are happy that you will still be giving us another chance to use our services and to show you that we most definitely will/want to do better for your net stay. As you stated, your fur baby should not have been Broughton out in the condition that she was in upon check out. We take any and all criticism seriously and use the time to correct these issues to do better! We hope to see your baby again for a fantastic stay with us at Wag Hotels! Sincerely, Demone Hi... read more

Had a last minute business trip and accidentally scheduled for Rook (my grand dog) at the Santa Monica Wag. We usually go to another location. Well...Rook LOVED it! Great staff who calmed my nerves when I discovered the scheduling error. Santa Monica will be our new go-to. Nice outdoor play area. He adjusted beautifully.

Wags Hotel in Santa Monica is truly a home away from home for pets. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the clean, modern facilities and the incredibly friendly and professional staff. They took the time to learn about my dog's personality, routines, and preferences, which made me feel completely at ease leaving her in their care. The suites are spacious, climate-controlled, and thoughtfully designed to keep pets comfortable and calm. I also loved the webcam feature it was such a comfort to check in and see my ... read more

I'm so grateful I found this dog hotel! The staff was incredibly kind and caring. They sent updates and made sure my dog felt at home. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly loved his stay. I trust them 100% and wouldn't go anywhere else.

My wife and I got married locally and unfortunately could not include our dog into our big weekend. We boarded her for two nights and genuinely felt relieved knowing that dropping her off at Wag Hotel Santa Monica was in fact the best possible option for our super clingy dog! The photo updates and the live cam in the MyWag Hotels app gave us so much peace of mind. We spotted our dog in the play cam and she appeared happy to play with other dogs. At night on the room cam, she seemed (understandably) anxious sleeping in her d... read more
