Downtown Santa Monica

Right to beach, shopping, eating, drinking! And it's a smoooth ride! McNeil, a Metro Ambassador at this station was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about Metro system routes, how to pay via Tap, cash other, as well as warm, charming and helpful with local insights & landmarks. She's an extremely valuable representative for Metro!

A simple, easy-to-use train platform in the heart of Santa Monica. No more complicated than it needed to be, and an easy connection to DTLA.

Great destination Metro ride. :)

It was great, very safe. Lots of security pretty clean. No problem. Trains are really nice. A great way to get downtown l. A fast panchy sunny

Surrounding is very dirty and there are strange people next to the ticket vending machines. The machine itself did not work properly and it took 9$ without giving me the ticket. The metro is full of homeless people and overall it’s not so clean.

The top flight securitys scream out take your tap card line we in a damn prison

Nice Metro station just walking distance from Santa Monica Beach

I loved this station, it's nicely designed, colorful, laid-back, and contemporary in style! Especially when tied in with the surrounding street lights and apartments and eclectic community, this station feels like as if it's a beating heart of Santa Monica. Plus, the location is extremely convenient, the world-famous pier is a block away, the shopping mall is barely a two-minute walk from the station, the 3rd street Promenade is less than 5 min away, it's all in one place without needing to worry about the hassle of parking. This has been my favorite light rail station in the entire LA area, period. I don't know which rail station, if any, could beat Santa Monica's!
