Clean but overpriced

Location is beachside, motel is truly just that, it’s pretty overpriced but the staff is very competent and they do a good job keeping it tidy. The fact it’s so expensive a night and an additional $33 in parking! We could have stayed somewhere upgraded for that rate!

It’s an older property. When we got there, the office was locked up. I tried to call the front desk probably a good six times and ring the bell at least eight until someone finally came to let me in so I could check in. It wasn’t even late at night it was about 6:00 PM. After a long drive from Vegas, I wasn’t impressed having to sit and wait for someone to come to the front desk. The rooms are definitely “tired” but it was clean. Parking is very limited. The location to the pier however it is nice and close.

Great location a couple blocks from the Santa Monica pier, downtown Santa Monica and walkable to Venice Beach. Cute “old school” motel experience, with clean and updated room. Two women traveling and felt safe although you are in a busy tourist area so always be aware of you surroundings. Definitely would stay again.

Location Location Location

If you're looking for a hotel in Santa Monica with an unbeatable location, this is it! Just steps from the beach and pier, and right next door to the iconic Chez Jay and Sweet Maple, it's the perfect spot to experience everything the area has to offer. The room was comfortable, especially the bed—I slept great every night. Parking was convenient and reasonably priced (which is a rarity in this area). And the best part? I spent time on the beach every single day during my stay. Whether it was a morning walk or catching the sunset, having the ocean so close made my trip even more special. If you're visiting Santa Monica and want easy access to the beach, great dining, and a comfortable place to stay, I highly recommend this hotel. I'll definitely be back!

This property was located near the beach, which was perfect! Plenty of scooters nearby so you don’t have to worry about driving to nearby restaurants, etc or being stuck in traffic. The parking stalls are a bit tight, but other than that I would stay here again.
