The hotel has a lot of potential. It’s very cute, but there’s a bar across the street that is very loud.
The room was semi clean. There was an old wad of gum on the night stand.

This place would be amazing for families! We were upgraded to these apartment suites they have in an adjacent building. Had a full kitchen, living room with pullout and even its own patio! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hotel has tons of beach equipment to loan out too! We were set! Highly recommend!

I am a single mom and stayed on the first floor with my teenage son and had a wonderful stay! I was anxious about outside entrances but this place had great reviews and we were not disappointed. The room was very clean, comfortable and felt very safe. The walk to the beach was short and easy and the staff were outstanding when I had questions or needed something e.g. beach towels, iron, coffee. Parking was easy to access. We never turned on the AC but it was available to us. We walked to Venice for dinner and walked around town at night to get ice cream and snacks. There are lots of very busy bars and restaurants so we returned to our room before 10 to avoid too much excitement but I felt safe walking around. I would definitely stay here again and have no hesitation recommending this place.

Overall, the property is well-maintained, with a very friendly and helpful motel staff. The room was comfortable overall, but the utilities are a bit outdated. The light over the bathroom sink didn't work. A great location just blocks from the beach, but it's pretty noisy with traffic and partiers since the motel is on a very busy street.

We chose this accommodation for our 1 night stay in the area.

It was a cute old school motel. The family run staff were friendly and helpful.

We had a room on the first floor with 2 double beds. Large rooms with a fridge and TV and plenty of storage space.
The beds were comfy and shower was good.
The air conditioning was a little loud and you could hear your neighbours but wasn't overbearing.

Location was perfect for what we wanted. In-between Santa Monica and Venice beach on Main street. Plenty of eateries and bars near by.
We had a lovely meal at an Italian across the road.
Lots of coffee places.
Short walk to the seafront and we walked the whole length. Venice beach canals were just beautiful!
The pier was lovely, beach too and very convenient location!

It felt safe and the gates were locked over night.

We used the outside top terrace. It was nice to have a bit of space outside. It also had sunbeds.
Parking was a massive plus! Lots of it and it was free.
We didn't use the cafe downstairs but it seemed popular.

The blinds in the room were wooden slats and my husband needed an eye mask. But it didn't bother me or my son.

Great stay and location. Don't hesitate to book this and just do it. Thanks!

From check-in to check out we were very happy with this stay. Very helpful at check-in for what was around and also personally showed us to the room. The room was awesome and was a great choice for our 2 day stay. They also have beach items to use as the walk to the beach is 5 minutes or so. The deck overlooking the busy street was actually nice for juice and coffee in the mornings. We will stay here again when we return to LA for events, or just going to the beach!

We didn’t stay long. It was only for a nights sleep, but both interactions with checking in and checking out were easy and the two guys were friendly. Great location.

For the price paid it was a very nice hotel. It is very dated and the A/C unit was loud. We were on the first floor and it was surprisingly quiet. The bed was very comfortable but the pillow cases were old and yellowed. We had our own pillows so it was fine. The sheets were clean but not soft. It was a nice location and close walk to the beach and about 20 minutes to the Santa Monica pier. I would stay there again but hope they do some minor upgrades.

The room was terribly dated actually the whole property is dated, it is definitely a MOTEL, however it was okay for a shower and laying our heads, we didn’t spent much time in the room or at least we tried our hardest not to spend time in the room as it wasn’t too comfortable it was small and I had to carry the microwave from the office to the room. We stayed due to the room had already been prepaid for the 3 nights we were in town for. I wouldn’t stay again or recommend.

Loved the location on Main Street. One of very few properties to have convenient free parking behind the two story motel. Loved having the quick entry and exit that comes with smaller motels and close parking. Lots of food choices surrounding area. The rooms are retro so a bit dated but clean and I personally love that basic retro vibe. We asked for a coffee maker and it was provided so that was a bonus (there are kitchenette rooms available) There was a refrigerator in the room as well. Sounds like they were still working out the kinks with their VIP status as we didn't receive the bottle of wine or beer as the VIP designation through Expedia. When asked about it the following day we did receive a bottle of sparking water. We did not require housekeeping during our day so can not comment on that. There is an air conditioner available. Wi-Fi included too. Overall I would stay again. Great Santa Monica area motel.

We had a great experience here from start to finish. It’s in the heart of the area. You could easily stay here for a weekend and not need your car the whole time. The pastry place attached the building is wonderful too. Also, I didn’t notice until we were checking out that they have a library and other items you might want to borrow for your stay in the office.. like, a tea kettle. They also provide towels and other beach supplies there.

The Sea Shore Motel is simple and clean in the perfect location. A block from the beach and my favorite beachside café, Perry’s. At the corner of the motel is an amazing bakery with out of this world croissants and other breakfast treats. Don’t expect anything fancy, but if you want to be in a fantastic neighborhood, away from the tourism of SantaMonica, this is a great place to land.

The reviews from people saying this place was good, are lying. It's old. It hasn't had updates in years, the pillows are stained and flat, the TV's are straight out of the 90s, and \"you get what you pay for\" was the big lesson I learned this trip.

There are no benefits of this hotel.

The location of it was perfect! Only 3/4 blocks away from the beach walking distance. They also offered things for the beach as well which is a plus! Our room was clean and luckily we were able to get early check in as well so that was a plus! I’d stay here again for the location and price! Definitely recommend :)

The rooms were a bit dated. They were updating some but we stayed in an older one and it needed some work.
Could use breakfast as there are not a ton of affordable options in the immediate area. If traveling with a family this area gets expensive quick.
The area is awesome. Walk or quick drive to some awesome places.
I will for sure return to this hotel.

Two blocks from the beach. Saturday a jazz combo was playing during the day in a park across the street. Farmers maarket there on Sunday. Popular breakfast spot on property. Classic two-story motel with doors opening onto a courtyard. Well-kept rooms. Great water pressure. Friendly staff. Free off-street parking. Good stay.

I loved this place! Fabulous old-style motel, right down to the real room keys. Your kids won't even know what these are! Room was large and comfortable; same for the bed and the bathroom. Everything was spotlessly clean. Front desk staff was helpful and friendly, offering me a microwave, beach chairs, beach towels. Plenty of parking. Terrific location, two blocks from beach and half block from great Irish pub / restaurant. With the fridge and microwave, table and chairs, and large closet, a couple could easily enjoy an extended stay here. I wish I went to Santa Monica more often so I could stay at the Sea Shore Motel!
