I don’t like to write negative reviews, as we understand that when traveling we set our expectations low for lodging and it’s all about exploring different places and enjoying the sites.. but this time, I simply felt the need to share.. We stayed a family of 4 for 3 nights. The room was super small with practically nothing in it. My only relief was that the beds and bathroom were clean . Everything else, very run down , musty smells, air conditioning noisy and upper floors air conditioners dripping making noise.. very noisy neighborhood across from bars and restaurants. Can hear all the guests every noise. Bathroom towels are old with stains . Everything just felt old and dirty.. We didn’t stay long in the room as we were out and about , but still for the price we paid , it was not worth it.. they can definitely do better! parking space was convenient and walkable distance to Venice and Santa Monica beaches. Very good, but pricy food options around ..

The Sea Shore Motel is in a great location in Santa Monica. It's so close to the fabulous beach and lots of nice restaurants and bars. The owner was very friendly welcoming. The junior suite had plenty of room for a family of four.

Would stay again

Great location near a lot of local spots and the beach. Having some beach supplies on hand such as towels and ice was a great value add! Major old school motel vibes and very clean but not the most comfortable bed out there. Friendly staff!

Classic motel

Loved the man at check in and his dog. The place is kind of retro and cute. Having parking was absolutely key for me. The noise from upstairs was annoying and Saturday night the noise on the street was quite loud.

A perfect place to stay to explore Santa Monica.

We had a great time at Sea Shore Motel. It’s clean and quiet in a friendly neighbourhood. We had ample room for a family of four (with 2 teenagers). The free parking is a definite bonus and there is a fabulous bakery right on the corner of the property. Walk to the sea front is 10 minutes and 20 minutes to the iconic Santa Monica pier. We were able to borrow beach chairs and towels. The motel staff are very efficient and friendly.

Our two night stay at the Sea Shore Motel was perfect for our family of five. Our room had a bedroom, a pullout couch and a full kitchen and was very clean. The property is in within walking distance to Venice Beach and the Santa Monica Pier as well as many restaurants and shops.

No cellular service, no Wi-Fi

The location is perfect, quick 5 minute walk to the beach. Air conditioner worked great, no problem there. The parking is excellent, convenient, and very safe. The only problem we had was with the WI-FI , no signal, and the outlets wouldn't work, the only one that charged our phones was the outlet in the bathroom, the girls had to go upstairs on the balcony to get some signal, other than that, the motel is very decent.
