We just returned from Santa Monica and stayed at the Ocean Lodge Motel for four nights. We had a very nice stay and our room was clean and just what we expected. We like staying at family run hotels so we were very pleased with our accommodations. The room was small but we weren't there to stay in the room.... More

Stayed for two nights, you cannot beat the location, nealy across the road from Santa Monica Pier. They put us in 108 which is street side, very noisy and it's as if all the street traffic is in your room. We were lucky we were dead tired when we crashed but the noise did not let up. The Staff are... More

We got stuck looking for accommodation in LA due to changes to our flights made by Virgin. Options for the last minute arrangements were limited due to the increased number of bookings during the American summer season. With only a mobile phone to search the net and make this booking, we chose the Ocean Lodge because it was mid price... More

We didn't want to pay an arm and a leg to stay in Santa Monica so we drove up to this motel saw the room and thought the price was good. The person @ the front desk said the room had a queen size bed and a twin but the queen was more like a full size. It's on a... More

Good location, 2 minute walk to muscle beach & Santa Monica pier. 5 minute walk to town centre. Easy access to Hollywood, Beverley Hills. Hotel very basic, but clean. Certainally not a chandelier and spa resort, but perfect if your trip is for exploring the area. Chez Jay bar next door was ok for food and drink, but there are... More

Last hotel of our trip and the worst by far. The best thing about it is the location and the fact that there were 2 rooms - if you have a family with you. Other than that the rooms & bathroom were very worn. Stained carpet. Cracked tiles. Probably was clean - but looked dubious. More

Great value, close to the pier and shops. The girl at the front desk was great help with tourist activities. A bit small but comfortable. More

I have stayed at Ocean lodge on more than one occasion and each time I have stayed I have been extremely pleased with my stay. If you are looking for a place that is seconds away from Santa Monica pier and extremely close to shopping, food etc. then this place will meet your mark. I loved the easy access to... More

We are a family and travel often throughout California. We have stayed at Ocean Lodge several times over the years and will keep going back whenever we are in Santa Monica. The staff are friendly, hospitable, the rooms are spacious, it is blocks, literally walking distance to the beach and the Santa Monica Pier. Our favorite is to be able... More
