We stayed for 2 nights in a king room. The room was small and there was a stall shower with dated fixtures/lighting. Towels were pretty thin and rough. The room was also dated, but had a table/chairs and an old TV. The staff were excellent and the location can't be beat. Parking was free and wifi worked really well. Breakfast... More

I loved santa monica and this hotel is in a great location, two blocks from the ocean, surrounded by small restaurants and boutiques. The staff is great, helpful and knowledgeable but they are out to make an extra buck: be aware of this when asking for help with tours or cabs to the airport. Not dishonest, but out to make... More

This lovely family owned motel is just what you need when you want to relax and get away from the city. It is right on Main with it's shops and restaurants and 3rd street promenade is just a 20minute walk away. Next to the Sea Shore is a fantastic italian deli for all your morning cravings!

The basic ammenities include a hairdryer, iron and ironing board, a fridge that keeps the beer "not warm" and a TV set. There is no coffee pot or access to a cup in the office nor a public computer.

I've been traveling to LA for the last 10 years--I always stay at the Sea Shore. In addition to being extremely reasonable for the area, the people who manage it are terrific. They are extremely accommodating. I also love the location. It's convenient to many stores and restaurants and has free parking. More

This was by a small margin the cheapest hotel on our trip, but by a big margin it was also the most basic. We stayed in March and at night the room was cold and draughty with tiled floors and no working heating. We used phone directories as draught excluders. that said it was surprisingly quiet, clean and comfortable and... More
