Great Location and Friendly Staff
The location can’t be beat! I was able to walk the few blocks to the beach first thing each morning. So many coffee and breakfast places so close. Walked to Venice beach in no time one day and the next day walked to Santa Monica Pier. I was able to get to everywhere I wanted to go easily. Plus, it was easier than I thought it would be to drive to Berely Hills and the Lakers game. The staff was so nice and welcoming. I will definitely be staying at the Sea Shore again when I visit LA!

Old but clean
It’s old but clean, typical California hotel near the beach parking was a bit tight. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

Charming with a perfect location
We love this place. It’s charming and spotless with an amazing location. The service is very friendly and there are many additional amenities in the lobby that you can choose to bring back to the room. It’s a gem and we would love to come back.

Well located neat and tidy motel in Santa Monica
Well located neat and tidy motel in Santa Monica, two blocks back from the beach, close to loads of restaurants and cafes etc. Rooms could do with a bit more supply of plates / cutlery / coffee & tea etc.

Room was clean and comfortable. It’s not a trendy, recently renovated type of place if that’s what you’re looking for, but it’s in a great location at a great price! Every worker we interacted with was kind and helpful. No complaints whatsoever!

Nice small motel near the beach
Nothing special. But everything you need for a night or two near the beach. Plenty of parking, which is a plus. Room lacked sound insulation so the big snorer next door seemed to be in my room. Staff friendly and helpful.

We had a full suite with a kitchen- very spacious and great location, so there price was unbeatable for that. The staff were friendly, and it was nice to be able to use the beach toys.

The best thing about this place is the location. Literally minutes to the beach and a central hub for entertainment. They provided lounge chairs and beach towels at no extra charge. Easy to access LA downtown and Hollywood by car. The motel itself is no frills and needs updating. We had no microwave or coffee maker in the room. It was cleanish. Really could have used a good scrub down. Bed was comfortable and lots of pillows provided. Good if you're looking for a cheap room that you’re not spending a ton of time in.

Exacellent motel in an excellent location. The room was spacious and came with a lot of amenities. The staff was friendly and provided us with a lot of items upon request (clothes steamer, beach towels etc). Highly recommend!
