I decided to extend a business trip and spend 4 days in Santa Monica. The Bayside looked like the best bet judging from the reviews on Trip Advisor but you really don't know how good it is until you get there. To start, the location is brilliant. Not only a view of the ocean across a really nice park but... More

Older motel which was remodeled into a vintage beachside motel. Rooms are nicely done up with modern facilities, had only some hot water issues due to the old appliances. No breakfast and parking comes at an extra charge of 15$ on top of the already expensive room rate of 220$+ for a motel. But it's the great location you pay... More

I was actually staying in Santa Monica on business, but like so many other business AND pleasure travelers, I was trying to keep my expenses to a minimum. (which is tough in Santa Monica!) I needed a hotel near the beach, the pier, and the other 5-star luxury hotels where my clients and meetings were held. There are a few... More

Nice smaller hotel in a wonderful location in Santa Monica- across the road from the beach and pier, with easy access to all the lovely SM has to offer. Tip: ask for a ground floor if you have luggage. There's also a small but appealing courtyard in which to relax after a long days walking! More

The wife and I were very impressed with the Bayside Hotel. After some family members suggested we try this, we noticed some pretty negative reviews that were left on Google and were a little leery of the place. But once we arrived the place was very cool and we ended up staying an extra night! The staff was very friendly... More

This is an interesting property that will only make a certain style of guest happy. The location is fantastic- you are right near a prime stretch of Santa Monica beach, within blocks of the pier and great people watching. We had an ocean-view room, and the view was, indeed, of the ocean (through a parking lot). There is a nice... More

I stayed with my family here in March 2012. I chose it for its location and its kitchen. The staff were really wonderful, friendly and helpful. The room itself is nicely decorated and clean. The kitchen and the bathroom however are in desperate need of updating and a thorough cleaning. Everything is corroding and cracking and mildewed. The location is... More
