This is a great spot. Hotel was clean and well maintained with cute decor and nice bedding, but clearly quite old. The bathroom was clean and good except very small, shower stall especially. But I highly recommend as a great value and so close to everything. Staff very nice and responsive when a fuse blew and tv went out one evening

Good stay for a family of 6! Large enough space and excellent walking distance next to the beach and Santa Monica Pier. The bathroom was outdated though.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I liked that the room was very clean and everything in the room worked. The sink and toilet looked relatively new. The shower was older but clean. The bed was very comfortable. I would describe the place as quaint, older but well kept. The location near the pier was excellent. Staff was very pleasant. Two things didn't meet my expectations. The room was smaller than I expected. Our room was upstairs on the street side. Other guests walked inches from our windows so I didn't want to keep blinds open which felt a little restrictive. There were also pictures of outdoor seating and red umbrellas on the website. I saw that area on another side of the building as I drove away after the stay and wondered if that seating was for individual rooms or for anyone. I may have missed that information on the website or at check in.

Cute and clean room with plenty of luggage and counter space. We arrived late and they didn’t have enough parking so we had to park off site. Arrive early to avoid that.

It was a pleasant stay and lovely experience staying at Hotel Sea Blue Hotel. The main attraction of this hotel is it near to Santa Monica pier. This hotel has there private access to Santa Monica beach. Hotel is located at very hotspot area and very easy to access Santa Monica beach.

Location is great. But everything goes downhill from there; the room had no amenities, is very dated, not clean, the window blinds were ill-fitted and offered little privacy. The bed was a full size (small for 2 people), but was comfortable, at least. We shall not be back.

Great Little Trip for a Family!

Very nice experience. Literally walking distance to the beach and pier. I booked the family room which literally was like a nice little 1 bedroom apartment. It's an older building... do not expect 5 start hotel service. I loved it. Parking was no issue for me as well.
