This beachfront area offers 3.5 miles of coastline. It's a short drive down Lincoln Boulevard to LAX and has easy access to Interstate 10. The hotel places guests within walking distance of the area's finest restaurants, cafes, shopping, and art galleries, including the Santa Monica Pier and the Third Street Promenade, located within 7 blocks.

Services: Accessibility Focused

Santa Monica Motel is committed to ensuring everyone, including people with hearing or vision loss or any other disability, can access information about the motel and book a stay. The hotel's privacy policy is important to Santa Monica Motel and its affiliates, including Shore Hotel and Ocean View Hotel. Corporate travelers can take advantage of the Internet connection available. First responders, doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers enjoy discounted rates and waived destination fees.

“This is a practical choice that stands out for its excellent location near Santa Monica beach and the pier, with the added perk of free electric bike rentals; the friendly staff and community breakfast create a welcoming atmosphere, further enhanced by pet-friendly policies. While the ambiance evokes a certain nostalgia, the rooms are well-equipped with modern necessities. I think it's a solid pick for budget-conscious travellers.”

small room unfriendly staff
The room was small, I almost could not walk around the bed. It did not have a refrigerator. I found the price to be too high given the offering. This impacts value. Staff at reception were not very friendly.

an okay stay

free parking early check-in reasonable distance small room low pressure safety advice
i liked the free parking a lot. i found a spot right outside my room. early check-in was nice and i liked it. the distance to the beach felt okay too.
my room were small and didn't have much space for my luggage, it's true. the water pressure was very low and it made it hard to shower good. the staff told me not to walk around the area alone at night, so i didn't feel safe.
