The room we stayed in was as expected and immaculate! Staff, especially housekeeping, were very responsive and friendly. The area in general is not that great and very noisy. Because the room is not air conditioned, the windows had to stay open. We heard every car go by, as well as all activity in a very tight parking area.

A resort you are not

Charging a resort fee is outrageous. You get nothing for it. It is not a resort. Then you charge 3$ for a bottle of water. Over priced.

A convenient and good value stay

We really enjoyed staying at Santa Monica Hotel. The staff were really friendly and helpful. There was really only one downside - the room was pretty warm and there seemed to be no A/C. Overall, it was a good value for the area and a lovely walk down to the beach.

Such a cute little place to lay your head. It was pretty quiet, beds were super comfy & it had a nice vibe. Easy access to beach on foot, or a quick uber ride. We’d definitely stay again.

Friendly staff and cute place, but noisy stay

This is a cute motel (cool mural) in “inland” Santa Monica. The rooms are newer, parking is easy and included, small breakfast/ snacks included. About a mile walk to beach and pier. Now for the not so fun part: we stayed in room 32, which is the first room as you enter the courtyard. The windows face the street. It being at ground level and with no AC, we wanted to keep the windows open for ventilation. Aside from privacy concerns (folks are walking right by your bed), it was so incredibly noisy all evening and night long. Ended up closing the windows and the noise was still difficult to sleep through. At 8AM, construction started right in front of the window! There was no sign of construction when we checked in. Anyway, I’d recommend asking for a room off the street. It did look like only 32 was that exposed to the outside.

Very pleasant stay

Stayed 2 nights, staff were friendly and accommodating with parking our car early and looking after our luggage. Also there was a very small complimentary breakfast grab and go offering that we weren't expecting which was a nice suprise. The room was very hot, we mentioned this to the staff and they were very kind but said there was little they could do. It didn't affect our stay overall though as we opened windows overnight. Room was well decorated and very clean. Some odd clientele but again didn't affect our stay and no one made excess noise. Rooms were also pretty sound proof. Only thing missing was a safe in the room (having said that, we accidentally left our door open most of the day while we were out and thankfully everything was untouched). Would stay again and recommend to other. Good value for money.

Ok, but not for light sleepers.

Cute, boutique hotel. It is loud, however, which is somewhat to be expected from a motel setup. I pretty much heard every car door and key lock beep throughout the night. Also, our window didn’t lock right, which was concerning for a first floor room. Overall, it’s fine, but not what I expected for the price. Not sure I would walk to the beach from here.
