This hotel has a GREAT location, its only several minutes away from the Santa Monica Pier, that is really the only PLUS. The room was clean but still a little sketchy. They used an old green towel folded up on the bathroom floor in place of a mat? Which I thought was very strange consider the hotel towels weren't even green they were white? There was […] only half a roll of toilet paper? Waste not want not I guess? There was no conditioner packets and the shampoo like fried my hair? So I'd suggest you bring your own. I wanna say... you get what you pay for BUT had this hotel been in a different location it definitely wasn't worth the money, but since it was 3 mins from the pier that made it worth it I suppose. I would stay here again it wasn't THAT bad. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The place was dingy, there was no air conditioning, no screens on the windows, there was a fan but it was inoperative, the TV was about a 10 year old model, there was no glass or plastic cup, there was 1/2 roll of toilet paper with no spare, there was soap literally the size of two postage stamps, and there was a smell outside that I could not identify […] that was quite foul. I do NOT recommend this motel. Read more

Get what you pay for, cheapest room you can find.

It was cool. I'm single so I don't need a whole lot. can walk to the beach, there is a bar across the street and food nearby. It wasn't noisy at all, slept like a baby. the room smelled a little at first but it certainly wasn't grossing me out. The bathroom was clean and I checked for bedbugs- didn't find any. The lady at the front desk was really nice […] and friendly-she was pretty too. so, It was cool. Read more

Don't go... Lousy place, mouse in the room, leaking toilet....

Genuine Expedia guest review

While the room was quite sparse (no phone, very small TV) the room was clean and they do offer free WI-FI. The staff was very courteous and even though it is on a busy street, I didn't hear much noise. It not the best hotel in the world but I would stay there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were only looking for a safe place to crash for the night at the last minute. Even so, it was the worst hotel I ever stayed at. Sure, it's an expensive area, but the room was what you would find in the ghetto district. Think flop house for alcoholics. Smallest tv ever made, and room was out of the 50's. The check in was like exchanging money with […] an armored car driver. At least five patrons were smoking outside third rooms. Read more

Checkin trough a holde in a bulletproof glass, dirty and dark room, used my hiker gear to sleep on the floor, the bed where no use. Never again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The motel was not pleasant to look at and there were people hanging outside our room that did not appear to be guests. One of the nights I was there we had a loud knock at our door at 3:30am. When asked who it was there was no reply. There is no window next to the door or peep hole on the door so it was pretty scary..It did not feel safe at all. It […] did not have all the ammenities listed on the website. The AC did not work, they provided us with a plug in the wall fan. Overall it was not a good experience. Read more

We checked in and checked out with in 2 hours. There were unsavory people (read that as people using chemical substances) living at the motel who came over to harass us (taping on the windows and calling in at the door) and there was no dead bolt on the door. We did not feel safe. There was no light above the door so we were trying to find the key slot […] in the semi-darkness. We fell into the room because the floor was several inches lower than the outside step. The curtains were light in color so that all of the lights from the side street shone in (but not on the keyhole-go figure). The final straw were the cockroaches coming up through the floor in the shower. The person in the office didn't care at all. This motel doesn't deserve a star rating at all. I have stayed at one star rated motels that were in better shape than this place. It was way over priced for what it is. If you value your safety spend the extra bucks to stay somewhere else.

You know it's bad when the clerk is missing teeth, the room has no phone, the room key is a ...key. The room next to mine was aired out with a box fan and the windows had no screens. Yuck. It was a clean beat down room, close to everything but I didn't feel safe. Never again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

From rude employee to bed bugs, roaches, overflowing toilet, broke shower, no phone, no extra toilet paper, started with one forth role, microwave in top shelf of closet unplugged. Neighbors pounding on doors, no phone to contact walk up offiice.

You get what you pay for, if your poor this is the place,its not dangerous but not nice by any means.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I have stayed in all kinds of hotels, but this is definitely the worst one I have ever stayed in. For the condition of the place, I would have expected to pay 1/3 what I did. The walls are peeling, there is no coffee maker, The carpet was filthy. I have seen cleaner hotels in a red light district. There were cockroaches in the room. Furniture is falling […] apart. No A/C, but a box fan. Disgusting!!!!!! Read more

This motel is total trash.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We were in the area for a soccer game with a bunch of guys and we were just looking for a cheap place to sleep and shower. That's what we got. The condition of the place is old and run down. Saggy mattresses, old decor, and no pool. But it is in a good location, pretty close to the pier, etc., and very inexpensive.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Self explanatory

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Although old the hotel could have provided at least a plastic glass in my room for water. There were 4 hand towels, no bath mat or bath towel. It had two TV's one didn't work and the clicker on the other didn't work. There were no phones in the room to call and ask about the clickers. The room was clean and the shower was new.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I know Santa Monica well and needed to save some money this trip so took a chance with this motel. The folks at the desk were very polite, cordial, friendly; couldn't have been nicer. But the room was atrocious -- there were hundreds of flies buzzing around, no air conditioning and smells of smoke coming from outside where a dozen people were smoking […] and drinking. I have asthma. It was painful. The shower was great but no soap and the towels were the size of napkins. I understand they are trying to save money in this economy, but it was disappointing, though the people who run it were very old-world polite. Read more

Good God, what a dump! Wouldn't take off our shoes in the room because the rug was filthy, and the sheets, although washed, were stained, as were the comforters and the blankets had holes in them. Our room was at the back, and there were 5 or 6 full garbage cans with no lids right outside our window, which was described as "being able to open." Not […] only would we not open the window because of the garbage, but there was NO SCREEN either. My daughter went out and bought a small fan so we could have some kind of air, and a candle so we could get rid of the smell in the room. It appeared that the bathroom had just been renovated, yay!! There was constant snow on all the tv channels, and the remote was taped on the back so the battery would stay in. Still, you had to hold the battery while you tried to change channels or volume. What they charged for this room is unbelievable to me. If I hadn't had to take my daughter to UCLA Medical in Santa Monica, I would NEVER have stayed here and will NEVER stay here again. Read more

The Santa Monica Motel is a no-frills basic place to stay in the heart of Santa Monica. The location is very good, just a few blocks from the ocean. The staff was responsive and helpful. If you're looking for a great deal and are less interested in hotel amenities than location, this is a good option.

Genuine Expedia guest review

My wife and I ended up in Santa Monica after an extended stay in California and stayed at multiple motels/hotels while there. We decided on this motel because we were tired and wanted something relatively close to LAX. The irony is that this location cost us the most and was the least favorable of all the places in which we stayed. Front desk help seemed […] nice enough but service was an afterthought. I received a key and a remote control for the TV as I guess the remotes don't stay in the rooms long. And the power button on the TV had been completely removed. I carry a cell for all my calls but couldn't help noticing no phone in the room. This location was the epitome of an owner or owners who are more interested in profit than in maintenance or upkeep of the property. No deadbolts on the door which means there was no more protection than what I have on my bathroom door at home. I wash my car with better towels than what were provided. The parking lot was very small with little to no room for manuevering a car, and I was driving a COMPACT car. I watched some poor guy arrive in a cargo van with no room to park it. He had to put in the adjacent parking lot as there was a portable building installed at the end of the lot taking up a considerable amount of room. Trust me, I am not a whiner nor am I impractical. But times are tough on consumers these days and this motel is NOT worth what I paid. If I could have gotten my money back, I would have and would have gone to the airport and stayed with my carry-on as a pillow. I did not/do not expect or want to pay for 4-star service or accommodations. I find it worthless as I see a hotel room as a place to stay between sight seeing and outings. With that said, what I experienced at this motel did not qualify for even 1-star service or accommodations. This place actually reminded me of some of the dives I stayed in when I was younger and did not know any better, nor did I care. But for the price, this place is ridiculous. Hotels. Read more

Cheap as chips, on the wrong side of the tracks, but still close to the posh part of town for a fraction of the price. Not 5* luxury, but what do you expect for £50 a night!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was clean, safe & secure. If your aim is trimmings & that real "hotel" feel, then go somewhere else and pay double if not more. For the price and location it's a very good purchase. It was an easy walk (maybe 20 min) into downtown and Venice beach. I'd recommend it for the person who wants a good night's sleep at a good price.

Genuine Expedia guest review

In a seedy part of town, with very little hotel facilities,e.g. no kettle/coffee maker, no hairdryer(though frequently requested), few towels. Was cheaper than other hotels we looked at for these 2 days in Santa Monica, BUT wasn't cheap.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This Motel is quite old and tired but if you require a one night stop over on the bus route it is OK. Quite far from the main Santa Monica area you would be better finding a motel of equal price closer to Fishermans Wharf.

Arrived at motel with 14 friends of mixed ages. We'd booked & paid for 1 night earlier in the year and expected plain, clean & tidy accommodation. Instead it was very worn & dreary and we all decided to leave for the long journey to Vegas instead of staying the night. Very disappointed.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Good basic motel suitable for travellers who do not expect any extras. The room was quiet, the bed & bedding were very good, and the bathroom was clean. The housekeeper exchanged the towels each day and emptied the trash cans, but did not change the sheets or make the bed. I stayed for 7 nights. The parking lot was fairly full each morning so this motel […] gets a lot of business. The beach is a 15 minute walk from the motel. The pier and main shopping areas are about a 20-25 minute walk. The price is good for the area Read more
