    Great place to visit Santa Mónica with family!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Overall, the property is well-maintained, with a very friendly and helpful motel staff. The room was comfortable overall, but the utilities are a bit outdated. The light over the bathroom sink didn't work. A great location just blocks from the beach, but it's pretty noisy with traffic and partiers since the motel is on a very busy street.

    It was a cute old school motel. The family run staff were friendly and helpful. We had a room on the first floor with 2 double beds. Large rooms with a fridge and TV and plenty of storage space. The beds were comfy and shower was good. The air conditioning was a little loud and you could hear your neighbours but wasn't overbearing. Location was perfect for what we wanted. In-between Santa Monica and Venice beach on Main street. Plenty of eateries and bars near by. We had a lovely meal at an Italian across the road. Lots of coffee places. Short walk to the seafront and we walked the whole length. Venice beach canals were just beautiful! The pier was lovely, beach too and very convenient location! It felt safe and the gates were locked over night. We used the outside top terrace. It was nice to have a bit of space outside. It also had sunbeds. Parking was a massive plus! Lots of it and it was free. We didn't use the cafe downstairs but it seemed popular. The blinds in the room were wooden slats and my husband needed an eye mask. But it didn't bother me or my son. Great stay and location. Don't hesitate to book this and just do it. Thanks!

    Location was very convenient & Parking was on site. Room was nice, air conditioner worked but is in the bathroom & not that efficient. It was also quite loud. Pillows also need to be replaced. For the price & location it was a good deal.

    From check-in to check out we were very happy with this stay. Very helpful at check-in for what was around and also personally showed us to the room. The room was awesome and was a great choice for our 2 day stay. They also have beach items to use as the walk to the beach is 5 minutes or so. The deck overlooking the busy street was actually nice for juice and coffee in the mornings. We will stay here again when we return to LA for events, or just going to the beach!

    What a great motel, so clean and accommodating to all our needs. The location was perfect for access to Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach. The best part was the hotel mascot Akiera. She made our day!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Very close to the beach, shops, restaurants, and was clean. Had an old school vibe with great character.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We didn’t stay long. It was only for a nights sleep, but both interactions with checking in and checking out were easy and the two guys were friendly. Great location. It’s right on one of the main strips so if you need quiet at night, do not stay here. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Parking was very snug but safe.

    Lovely staff. We got a roomy 1 bedroom apartment and felt very safe and comfortable. Walking distance to everywhere.

    The staff was so wonderful! Very quaint and charming property with amazing parking. Super close to the beach and they provide beach equipment you can borrow. My group and I had a great time staying here for our spring break!

    Big room! What I loved about Sea Shore was the check in staff. So helpful to us!!! Location was close to the beach and excellent for our stay.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Great location but very old property. No amenity selection in rooms so brig. Your own lotion, shampoo, etc. Mattress and pillows were terrible. Can’t say we will ever book here again. The adjoining coffee shop was fantastic!!
