Local Hotels Offering Cheaper Holiday Rates to Santa Monica Residents

Maybe your house is too small. Maybe you don't want your own version of Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation.

Either way, if you aren't able to host friends and family over the holidays, our local hotels won't judge. Nearly a dozen are offering deals and discounted rates through Jan. 25.

To take advantage of the offers, show proof of residency with a California ID or driver's license.
