The Motel is about 20 min. walking distance from Santa Monica Beach and it felt safe to be there and to park the car. The biggest draw back for us was that there is NO AC. It being July, we had to leave the window open which then made it very loud in the room since Lincoln Blvd. is a very busy street. The room looked newly renovated and clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall it is a good lodging option, but with $300 and no amenities it is overpriced in my opinion.

No shower curtain liner so water gets wet on the ground when showering.

Property states its 15 minute walk to monica pier. Its takes 12 min to drive from the property so you do the math.

The room was clean and the beds comfortable but no air conditioning. You have to sleep with the window open and use a box fan. The box fan shacked an lot and made a lot of noise. The room also didn’t have outlets in convenient places.

We reserved the bikes the night before. The next morning woke up and the bikes had been given to another group. The staff said there was no notes for us reserving the bikes. Very frustrating because I talked to the night staff when we checked in twice about the bikes.
The hotel is 20 minute walk to Santa Monica pier.

Based on the standard room description, I assumed air conditioning was included, but that wasn't the case at this property; fortunately, the temperature dropped, and the fan in the room was somewhat sufficient—though I also had to open the doors and windows to cool the place down. The price was absolutely excessive.

There is no a/c on the premises which forces you to open up all the windows in order to get rid of stagnant air and/or have a chance at a cool breeze. Nonetheless, say goodbye to a quiet stay or sense of security while you sleep with unsecured windows.

Free parking for one vehicle per stay; an extra vehicle is $20.

Not the best rating for cleanliness.

Only plus is the location.

Pleasantly surprised with my stay. The room itself was clean and updated. Had all the amenities needed - microwave, fridge, desk and chair. Stay was during early June so the weather was cool. Didn’t find a way to get the AC to work but the overhead fan did fine enough to move air around the room. Snacks were available in the lobby from 7-9 (coffee, fruit cups, juice, tea, oatmeal) just simple things. Shower water pressure was decent and the water was hot.

Although I would consider the property more of a motel then a hotel, it was clean, well kept and had everything we needed for the short time we were there. It wasn't too far from the Santa Monica Pier and was a quick Uber ride to the event center hosting the event we had tickets to. If we find ourselves in Santa Monica in the future, we'll consider staying here again.

The property was cute and staff was friendly. I wish it was clear when booking the room did not have AC. It was unseasonably warm and it was a challenge to stay cool at night but the area was very quiet.

I was issued an upgrade, however when I arrived at my upgraded hotel they made it a whole thing and tried to say I wasn’t upgraded- and that I would have to pay and it was a scam. After speaking to the GM about it- I had been upgraded and they undid it on my arrival. Staff at Santa Monica hotel made our stay great- but the staff at their sister hotel ocean view were awful to us.

This is a really nice boutique type hotel that despite its age has been nicely restored. Room was modern and clean. Great location that is walking distance to Santa Monica Pier. Only complaint at all was water pressure being very low in sink and shower.

A lovely hotel with friendly, helpful employees. We spent two nights with our dog and had a very positive experience. Room 32 is on the street, but it’s a somewhat larger room. For us, the street was like white noise in the background, so we all slept great. Probably not for someone who has trouble sleeping though. There is a great dog park in the neighborhood.

No beach view although it was 15 mins walk to the beach.

However, the plus point is that the pier is about 18 mins walking distance from the hotel.

Good staff, below average place to stay

I had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. The building is quite old and the facilities reflect that. There was no air conditioning, which was not clearly mentioned at the time of booking. Fans were provided, but there were not enough proper outlets to plug them in.

The parking was very limited and congested, making it inconvenient. The worst part was the flies and insects coming out of the sink and into the room, which made the stay very uncomfortable.

On a positive note, the staff was nice and helpful, but overall this was a bad experience and not what I expected. I left feeling very disappointed.

We only stayed one night but were impressed with the cleanliness and facilities. The location was great too. We used it as a stop off on the way to LAX and it allowed us to go into Santa Monica before an easy drive to the airport. Nice, friendly staff too.

My son and I stayed for a few days here just exploring LA. It is a really cute place and nicely updated! However, get ready for small and quaint. Like no drawers for our stuff (I sometimes put clothes away!). Other than that, had all the basics. Parking is *tight* but it's LA and we were happy to even have parking! You can walk to the Santa Monica beach area w coffee shops etc but it's about a 20min brisk walk. The staff are in the office on and off. (Door is locked when they aren't there). Breakfast needs a bit of an upgrade I'm afraid. Just sugary stuff, all in packages. Overall, the place was pretty sweet (haha) just on the small side so be ready for that :) Would return.

Here’s a grammatically improved version of your text:

“Very nice and clean hotel. Within walking distance of many restaurants, and just a 15-minute walk to the beach and Urth Caffé. There’s an absolute gem nearby — the Italian restaurant Piccolo.”

Let me know if you’d like it to sound more formal, casual, or tailored for a review site.

Definitely more of a motel but the staff are kind and helpful. We originally booked one queen bed but it was way too small for two people to sleep, we got lucky and the staff were able to get us a room with two queens beds. That room was wonderful. Very quiet and excellent bath towels.
Excellent location. Free parking.

Very nice. Older motel with very nice updates. Very good value. Free parking was a huge plus. Good towels and linens. Extremely clean. No air conditioning but they did provide a box fan if needed. We slept with a window open and the ceiling fan. Mattress could have been softer.
