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.

We arrived early. Just thought we are going to leave our bags in the lobby while we wandered around Santa Monica. But they got us into our room early. We love the view love the hotel would definitely stay again.

I like that it was close to the beach and it was gated. I didn’t like the limited parking. But still a good place.

Only has 12 spots of parking or you have to park 3 blocks away great location they need more parking onsite then rooms drain smelt
Chris, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Property was right next to the Santa Monica Pier, tons of shopping and restaurants! The room was clean and comfortable for a small family Parking was the only drawback! We had to park down the street in a parking garage for $20. The hotel charged more, and we were willing to pay it, but they were out of parking spots!

The room had bugs on the floor and on the bed, when I moved the covers back to lay down and there was a bug on the bed and hairs were on the sheets.

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

One thing that I was unexpected is the car parking fee. This was my first time I was charged with the parking fee in a hotel/motel I had checked in.
