10/10 Exceptional

Very accommodating with parking. Rooms are spacious and beautiful view of the beach. Walking distance. Will definitely stay here again.

A fun place to stay with an amazing location

This was a fun little trip! The hotel is just a few steps away from the beach! Check in was fast, easy and friendly. We parked the car and walked all over town to shop and dine. Can’t wait to come back!

Fernando, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s a great location and a decent motel. But parking is very challenging even with a pass. Overall, I’d consider staying here again - clean and friendly.

Do it, pick here to stay

Cute motel one block off the beach and the pier. The staff were awesome. Super comfy. Has in room mini fridge. Walking distance to everything in the pier area. And refreshingly affordable.

Enjoyed Our Stay

We stayed for one night as some of our family members were running the Santa Monica Classic and didn't want to drive in the morning. The proximity of this hotel to the playgrounds as well as the boardwalk was a huge advantage of staying here for us. We did not have any issues with parking like what was specified in a lot of the reviews for this place however, it's important to note that we were there right at check in time. The beds were comfy, the room was spacious, the shower was small but it had good pressure. They have hand soap and lotion by the sink in the bathroom and shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in the shower. It's not a fancy place but for the area, I think it's still worth its overnight price. Front desk was friendly, offered us coffee but it was the afternoon and we didn't want to stay up too late. Would book here again.

Euwwww

We had to park 4 blocks away.. beds were very hard. It’s old and uncomfortable couldn’t wait to leave …. Price was very high for what you got.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful historic property! Easy walk to the beach. Property was secured with gate. Parking is $29 extra and you’re going to have a rough time with a larger vehicle in the tight spots. If you’ve got a larger vehicle maybe take the time to find other parking or park at the civic center
Amanda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is an old retro hotel right in the heart of Santa Monica. Everything was great, but it is loud due to its location on the Main Street. Staff was great
Elizabeth, 3-night trip

Great value for location

Great location near beach and pier. It’s an older place but quaint and clean. We have stayed several times and love the location.

The location is great! So many restaurants nearby and easy to get to the pier. The street is front is quite loud tho.

10/10 Exceptional

I always stay here— the location is exactly the same as a $1000 a night hotel next door—walk out the door to the beach—great restaurants (the Coast is 3 minutes away and the food is amazing)—the Pier is 5 minutes away—tha airport 25 minutes The rooms are simple but sufficient and very clean— the staff is great *****
