Walkable to everything in Santa Monica and very close to the beach. Overall quiet despite being on busy road. Public overnight parking is difficult to find super close unless you get there very early. The spots onsite are tight. I would definitely stay again.

Small motel, small rooms but LOCATION near beach and restaurants etc makes the place great for the price. Room was super clean and well stocked, bed comfy, urban area be prepared for common noises. It wasnt too loud. Staff super friendly, water and coffee free. Parking is tight. Pay $38 for space at motel, wait for $17 space next door, pay the meters for 3hrs ata time.

The hotel is in a good location, walking distance to beach, food and shopping. It is a bit pricy for the property condition though. Also, parking is hard.

Close proximity to beach and pier with many places to eat and shop within walking distance. Hotel staff were all very helpful and friendly during our stay. There is parking on site but if you have a full size SUV or truck please be aware that parking spaces are small with not a lot of space to maneuver. We will stay again in the future. Thank you!

Location was great! It’s really close to the beach & walkable to restaurants, shopping, & the pier. It is hard to park there, & expensive to park there. It’s also quite noisy due to traffic on the road, but it was clean & perfect for our needs.
