Liked: Staff & service

The room itself was average. The shower was tiny and clean. The bathroom in general was very small. The air conditioner unit was terribly loud, so loud that we had to turn it off, which meant sleeping in a hot room with just the ceiling fan. The parking was also over a block away, which was unfortunate because the site I booked through said that there was parking and the photos showed parking. I guess you get what you pay for, unfortunately, the price for staying near the beach in a subpar hotel is still really expensive.

This place is so bad. It’s full of black mould. I turned on the AC and got a whole lung full. Not a safe feeling area at all. The beach sidewalk picture is very misleading. The rooms were fairly clean, but super run down. Outside door doesn’t seal well. Black mould on bathroom window. Staff was nice and location was close to the pier, but better to walk a little further. There was no benefit to being that close to the pier or beach even.

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.

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

Great little place ocean front

At first glance we were a little concerned but the staff and room was perfectly accommodating. We enjoyed the short walk to the Pier and enjoyed our stay.

Hair in the bed and no heat.

The hotel is very charming and I was excited to stay here. However, the rooms have no heat and it gets cold at night on the ocean. They provide a small, very loud electrical space heater. I was very uncomfortable sleeping with it running. My bed had A LOT of long black hair in it. I fell asleep on top of the covers and got into bed sometime during the night. I woke up in a mess of someone’s hair. There was the same hair next to the bathtub. I checked out and paid my bill. Once the bill was settled I showed a handful of hair to the manager at the desk. Without looking up he replied “sorry that happened; thank you for letting us know” His complete disinterest in the situation makes me believe this is a common complaint. If I was the manager, I would have been mortified. Don’t stay here. Spend a few dollars more for a clean bed and heat. You deserve better than what this motel can offer you.
