Susan
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.

Stephanie
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!
Louise
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.
Brent
Very basic but, really comfortable and exactly what I was hoping for. The location is hard to beat. I will be back.
Juan Paulo
Great place to visit Santa Mónica with family!
James
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 The room was comfortable overall, but the utilities are a bit outdated.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.
Rachael
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!

Roxanne
Location was very convenient & Parking was on site. Room was nice, air conditioner worked but is in the bathroom & not that efficient. It was also quite loud. Pillows also need to be replaced. For the price & location it was a good deal.
Joseph
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!
Maurizio
What a great motel, so clean and accommodating to all our needs. The location was perfect for access to Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach. The best part was the hotel mascot Akiera. She made our day!
Patrick
Very close to the beach, shops, restaurants, and was clean. Had an old school vibe with great character.
Claudia
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. It’s right on one of the main strips so if you need quiet at night, do not stay here. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Parking was very snug but safe.
Lynnette
Lovely staff. We got a roomy 1 bedroom apartment and felt very safe and comfortable. Walking distance to everywhere.
Abigale
The staff was so wonderful! Very quaint and charming property with amazing parking. Super close to the beach and they provide beach equipment you can borrow. My group and I had a great time staying here for our spring break!
Steven

EDUARDO
The room was very clean and spacious. Parking available, friendly staff. I had everything I needed. Would stay there again
Tammy
Reasonable, nice staff, clean, and close to the Ocean. It was perfect for our needs.
Carolyn
Big room! What I loved about Sea Shore was the check in staff. So helpful to us!!! Location was close to the beach and excellent for our stay.
Candace
Great location but very old property. No amenity selection in rooms so brig. Your own lotion, shampoo, etc. Mattress and pillows were terrible. Can’t say we will ever book here again. The adjoining coffee shop was fantastic!!
james
Nothing I would improve on. Clean, great staff, on site free parking, AC, fan, fridge, wifi, beach equipment, two blocks from the beach and many restaurants. We had room 7…great!
Peter
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.
Matthew
Amazing staff and great location for the beach.
SCOTT
Nice, convenient spot. Ask for a renovated room.
James
Reasonably priced motel right in the middle of the nicest part of Santa Monica (Main Street) and near the beach. Very large rooms and friendly front desk.
Arron
Uniquely styled motel. Desk staff helpful and welcoming and efficient (what more could u ask for?). Parking ample and safe. Room spacious and decorated with care. Bed comfortable and slept like a rock. Walls sort of thin but expected. With the location right on a main artery…it’s Great bang for your buck . 5 solid stars.

Denise
Well-located motel, about a 10 minute walk to the beach. Friendly and helpful staff. There is a coffee shop next door, which has delicious pastries and a variety of coffees, teas, and other beverages. Our room was lovely: comfortable and clean, with comfortable beds. There are a number of restaurants on Main Street that are within walking distance of the motel as well. We would recommend this motel and would definitely stay here again.
Paul
Lovely characterful motel, clean and spacious rooms, staff helpful and polite. Local area safe with great cafes and an Irish pub nearby. Beach 5 minute walk away.
Tessie
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.
Edward
Nice secure parking lot at the motel. Close to restaurants and bars. 8 minute walk to beach.
Courtney
The perfect roadside motel. Charming, affordable, nice people, connected to a great cafe, walking distance to the beach and pier. What more could you ask for
Lori
Location is a bargain for the area. This is our third stay.
Kim
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.
Anthony
Clean room, AC was 👍. Wifi was good too. Location is very walkable and the parking was included which was a plus.
Julia
Great Location. Really enjoyed our stay. Walkable to nearby bars and restaurants and beach area . Plus the Breakfast spot connected to motel is amazing! Highly recommend.
Jason
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.
Sarah
Great location, perfect for our 1 night at Santa Monica. Free beach toys and towels for use, 1 block from the beach. Will be back!
Christopher
A nice place and a great location. Unfortunately the Internet quality was sporadic so I was unable to keep up with work.
Urszula
A very clean room, nicely furnished and quiet.
Chris
The room was basic but clean and a good location for the beach and main st for shops and restaurants.
Karen
Quaint motel in adorable setting and the absolutely wonderful “bread & butter” cafe and bakery with outdoor seating.
Melissa

Perfect place to end a long day. Close to Venice Beach. Various restaurants within walking distance. Clean and beautifully decorated rooms. Wonderful staff.

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.

Is a nice property but a bit out dated.
Alexis
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 :)
Lauren
Location is good. Great Deli next door. Room basic but clean and fine. Simple checkin.
Corey
Great location and the owners are awesome!! Love this Santa Monica gem!
Jay
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.
Steve
Terrie was really welcoming. Great stay.
Lynne
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!
