My husband and I are going out of Los Angeles on a cruise and have decided to go a few days earlier. We would like to stay somewhere other than Anaheim for a few nights. Can anyone recommend a nice hotel maybe in Santa Monica or somewhere where we can walk around and look at things.

I imagine you%26#39;re looking for something moderately priced considering the Canadian dollar...if not just check the Santa Monica forums, older topics will pop up offering many more upscale suggestions.
Where to stay in Los Angeles pre cruise
There are some nices beaches and areas to walk around closer to the port. I assume you are leaving from the Port of Los Angeles or Long Beach. What would be really special is to spend a night aboard the Queen Mary Hotel in Long Beach. This is actually abaord the historic ship from the 19th century and it has been completly refurbished in grand early 20th century style. There are restraunts and shops across in downtown Long Beach as well as the pier and beach about ten minutes away. The port is only five to ten minutes also. The world class Aquarium of the Pacific, the best on the Pacific Coast is in Long Beach also, right on the water in downtown. If you opt for a more traditional hotel, there are the Long Beach Westin, Hyatt, Hilton, Rennaissance, and Courtyard Marriott all right in downtown and you could instead do a tour of the Queen Mary. I think Long Beach has enough sights you can enjoy plenty before the trip and have a lovely cruise not being too far away. Santa Monica is 45 minutes away from the cruise ports.
