Yes, on lower-demand dates. This page lists five hotels that showed a dated reference rate at or below $250; live availability and final totals can change.

Compare Downtown, Ocean Avenue, the Pier, Main Street and Montana Avenue. The best choice depends on the balance of location, transport links and the current nightly total.
03When are Santa Monica hotels usually cheapest?
Lower-demand periods and midweek stays can produce more options, but prices vary with local events, school holidays and room availability.
04Are taxes and extras included in the $250 limit?
Not necessarily. Check the final booking total, taxes, room type, cancellation terms and any mandatory local charges before reserving.
