Honestly, this cute little hotel was worth the stay. Very close to the beach and the freeway. The parking was easy and secure. The hotel is close to restaurants, stores and Mel's Dinner. The room was big enough, and the beds were comfy. We loved our stay there!

Conveniently located. Rooms were clean but small. Staff were friendly and beds were comfortable. The free e-bikes were a nice bonus. Worth a stay for a night or two to explore Santa Monica and Venice.

It is an older motel but amazingly maintained. Room was super clean and the ladies on the front desk were so friendly and helpful. We were able to leave our car here and walked to Venice Beach and to the Santa Monica Pier. We would definitely come back.

Although I would consider the property more of a motel then a hotel, it was clean, well kept and had everything we needed for the short time we were there. It wasn't too far from the Santa Monica Pier and was a quick Uber ride to the event center hosting the event we had tickets to. If we find ourselves in Santa Monica in the future, we'll consider staying here again.

Pleasantly surprised with my stay. The room itself was clean and updated. Had all the amenities needed - microwave, fridge, desk and chair. Stay was during early June so the weather was cool. Didn’t find a way to get the AC to work but the overhead fan did fine enough to move air around the room. Snacks were available in the lobby from 7-9 (coffee, fruit cups, juice, tea, oatmeal) just simple things. Shower water pressure was decent and the water was hot.
