We had an awesome stay...more than what we were hoping. We were given a suite...roomy...neat...The manager was so nice, helpful and accomodating and the housekeeping did a great job keeping our room nice and clean during our entire stay .The smile on their faces...the politeness...makes you feel at home...there's more....you could just walk to go places you want to see... more

The hotel was very clean. Looks like it was built in the 40's. They advertise AM coffee and internet, but the lobby doesn't open up until 9:30 or 10 AM. Lobby is 5 ft. by 7ft. with a outdated computer. If you want to get on line, youll have to wait your turn, sometimes you have to wait up to... more

i find i always sleep better on hard mattresses. Might stay here again as location great and parking in free. Slightly more money than should be paying for a basic motel though; its worth about $70-80 rather than $100+ more

The location is excellent, the value is the best in the area BUT: 1) Bring ear plugs, the building is on busy Ocean ave. There are no other buildings on either side to block any of the street noise. The noise isn't terrible but it's omnipresent. I slept soundly with the foam earplugs I always carry. 2) Parking sucks. The... more

This hotel was perfect. The staff are so friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, the location was amazing and the price was fabulous! My friend and I stayed here in the first week of January. I had been to Santa Monica before in 2008 with family and knew that this hotel would meet the needs of a friend holiday.... more

We just got back from Santa Monica...we had a great time....weather was perfect...we stayed at the Ocean Lodge...If you are wanting an affordable place to lay your body down at the end of a busy day, this is a great place....nothing fancy....no frills....but the girl that runs the office during the day is the nicest person ever.....we rode the RAPID... more

We wanted to stay as close to the Santa Monica Pier and 3rd Street Prominade as possible, but we wouldn't pay the exorbitant $500/night prices most places were charging. Ocean Lodge was the cheapest we could find at $199/night. I am a hotel snob, so I prepared myself for the worst, and was pleasantly surprised. Of course this is no... more

We were pleased with the hotel overall. Our room was clean, had a fridge, and was well taken care of by the cleaning staff throughout our stay. Sure, the room is a bit dated and is on a small side. But for this price, I could put up with the 1960's pink shower tiles and lack of space. The location... more

We stayed here a couple nights because I wanted to be near the beach, but not spend $400 + per night. I really had no problem with the place - the room was clean and so was the bathroom. The shower was the old vintage pink tile, and the grout was dark in places, but otherwise everything was ok. It... more
