A fun place to stay with an amazing location

This was a fun little trip! The hotel is just a few steps away from the beach! Check in was fast, easy and friendly. We parked the car and walked all over town to shop and dine. Can’t wait to come back!

Not that nice

Read the fine print about reserving hotel parking. Staff was not friendly and did not inform us of the building construction that started at 8 am with jackhammers that ratted our room until about 3 pm each day we were there. Maybe there is a beach view from a higher floor but not on the first floor where we were. For the price, there are other options close by that are better.

I loved how quaint and unique and maintained it was. Robert gave excellent dinner ideas and history of the place and his and his wife's taking over. It was nice.
Tammy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s a great location and a decent motel. But parking is very challenging even with a pass. Overall, I’d consider staying here again - clean and friendly.

Do it, pick here to stay

Cute motel one block off the beach and the pier. The staff were awesome. Super comfy. Has in room mini fridge. Walking distance to everything in the pier area. And refreshingly affordable.

Enjoyed Our Stay

We stayed for one night as some of our family members were running the Santa Monica Classic and didn't want to drive in the morning. The proximity of this hotel to the playgrounds as well as the boardwalk was a huge advantage of staying here for us. We did not have any issues with parking like what was specified in a lot of the reviews for this place however, it's important to note that we were there right at check in time. The beds were comfy, the room was spacious, the shower was small but it had good pressure. They have hand soap and lotion by the sink in the bathroom and shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in the shower. It's not a fancy place but for the area, I think it's still worth its overnight price. Front desk was friendly, offered us coffee but it was the afternoon and we didn't want to stay up too late. Would book here again.
