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!

Cute place with nice rooms. No A/C when there's a heat wave in LA is not good. Very uncomfortable even in Santa Monica. The shared patio is odd and guests are right outside your door/window making privacy non-existent. Not much walkable for dining so plan to drive or Uber. Not my return choice but again cute.

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.

Disliked: Amenities
The Motel is about 20 min. walking distance from Santa Monica Beach and it felt safe to be there and to park the car. The biggest draw back for us was that there is NO AC. It being July, we had to leave the window open which then made it very loud in the room since Lincoln Blvd. is a very busy street. The room looked newly renovated and clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall it is a good lodging option, but with $300 and no amenities it is overpriced in my opinion.

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.
