We spent 5 nights at the hotel, which lived up to expectation. The room was beautifully decorated with a comfortable four poster bed. We could not fault the staff who were welcoming & attentive. The bar & restaurants were excellent, the food was of a high quality and live music was played most nights of our stay. The hotel was on the beach front and in easy walking distance to the city centre. There was even a complimentary car for local journeys. The pool was small but to be...

Stayed for 2 nights at the start of a road trip and 1 night at the end of our road trip. Returned at the end of our road trip and we had been moved to an upgraded room which was nice of them! Nice touches like a welcome note and cookies left on the side in the room. Staff all really helpful and friendly. A real homely feel to the place. Complimentary bikes which was AMAZING. Cycled all the way down the beach to Venice and back.

A lovely well maintained property. I travelled with my young son (age 4) and I would say that the hotel is more for adults and the food/ amenities are not really for children. However, I knew this before booking the hotel and it didn’t take away from the experience. A special mention -Alejandro, who worked at the ground level restaurant-he always made my little boy and I feel special and well looked after. I would happily stay again the next time we are in Santa Monica.

Sea Shore Motel

10/10 Excellent

The space and living area in the family suites are amazing. Coupled with the convenient location, staying here is a brilliant, affordable short break. For UK visitors, it’s a bit like an exclusive, upmarket hostel. Everything is here and largely clean and comfortable. But maintenance is general rather than detailed. The dishwasher, which we didn’t use, was grubby and smelt foul. Crockery and cutlery was rather grubby - we washed it all before using it. The table wobbled in both suites that our...

Great hotel with large suites. Only drawback is poor descriptions of suite types. We would have liked a room with a view, but were at the back of the hotel and the small balcony was facing the apartment building behind. Its a converted apartment building with room access from an open courtyard with central pool. As all rooms are slightly different, they don't all have desks, so I ended up working on laptop balanced on a pile of books because no rooms with desks available. Annoying for a business...
