The room was cute and very clean. Shower had great pressure and was HOT! Only downfall was no USB ports for charging and no ice machine.

Good motel.

staff was friendly but

The entire staff was very nice and friendly! My room and the property was clean! The air conditioning worked well and the little soaps were so cute!

They tried to give us a different room than the one I booked. I let her know and she fixed it. The room was pretty small, the twin beds are like 2 inches away from each other. The bathroom is very small, barely any room to turn around. The location is good. Some sketchy people in the area but we didn’t have any issues. Definitely overpriced for what you get, which isnt much.

I booked my stay for August 22 check out on August 23, 2026. I put my credit card in and you guys charged me for last night. Not Happy!

Although the room was dated, it was very clean and the location was good.

It’s a small, cute room. Good condition. Mini-fridge and AC were good. No coffee maker. The bathroom was really small with no counter space. I had a room with a queen bed and 2 twin beds. The queen bed was comfortable but squeaky. The twin beds less so. Clean.

I want to start off this review by saying the staff were super friendly and helpful when we had questions. However, we spent a little over $500 for 3 nights here, and I honestly felt like it was not worth the money. The room and bathroom were all pretty clean, so we had no complaints there. But the AC in room 8 needs to be serviced or something, as it leaves a weird musty smell in the room as it runs. The fact it worked was good, but the musty humidity it gave off made it feel weird to be in the room. Also, showering was a nightmare. It would take forever for the shower to warm up. But when it finally did, it would stay burning hot to where you could barely stay in the water without burning yourself. If I turned it any colder the shower would just turn off. The area was kinda iffy too. I know its Santa Monica, but its kinda tough to get parking depending on the time of day, and its smack right in front of a Jack in the Box. Overall it was a decent stay but it wasn't worth the money in the end.

I’ll start by saying the place is under renovation so you’re a little thrown off by checking in outside a window in the parking lot after pushing the ring doorbell but it wasn’t terrible. Overall, the room was clean, the AC worked perfectly, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We weren’t prepared to haul all our luggage up a steel staircase but that’s on me for reading no elevator. We booked the room with 1 queen and 1 twin for my husband, 14yo, and I and were displeased to see the “queen” in room 11 is actually a full or double. We brought this to the attention of the front desk and she insisted that it’s listed as a queen. We did tell her the headboard appears to match the actual queen in Room 10 where friends of ours were located but the mattress itself is not a queen like theirs. She informed us that’s how it’s listed so I figured it’d only be right to make sure to let others know what I wish I had known which was to ask for any other room but room 11. Great location, the staff we met was nice, and it’s right across from a Jack in Box and walking distance to a Walgreens which is convenient. We also were able to walk to Santa Monica Pier but know it’s a hike (just under a mile).
