Avoid this place at all costs if you don't believe me call the Santa Monica Police and ask them about this rat hole and i mean rat hole. This is A SAFE AREA but this place is the pits and the people that run it are nasty and unfriendly. DON'T STAY AT THIS PLACE! more

we wanted to enjoy los angeles for a few days in september and this motel turned returning home into a total nightmare. on first look it seemed okay, clean and equipped with parking lots and all that ... after waking up and using the bathroom we encountered a blood stain on the bathroom door, about the size of a small... more

I stayed here this past weekend with a buddy of mine. We walked away on Sunday giving each other a high 5 and saying that THIS...PLACE...IS...AWESOME. First of all the "clean" towel were dirty with some mystery stain. I asked the front desk for a new towel and he graciously gave me something slightly larger than a facecloth. The shower... more

If you are looking for a really cheap place to stay for a couple nights and don't mind getting what you paid for, stay here. Its fairly close to the beach and promenade but expect to walk a little bit if you don't have a car.... more

this place is gross -- no air conditioning, sticky linoleum floors in batbhroom, tiny and thin towels, no shampoo, tiny little soap bars, scary clientele and drug addicts, smelly rooms, small tvs, no alarm clocks -- avoid this place at all costs! more

I booked the room online. I should have known that the value wasn't worth it.

This is a scary place and I didn`t feel safe there.More like a homeless hostel then a tourist motel.There were a few homeless guys hanging around the car park who I think were staying there,they kept staring at me.The windows weren`t very secure there either and I stacked the furniture against the door. more
