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.

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.

This is an old retro hotel right in the heart of Santa Monica. Everything was great, but it is loud due to its location on the Main Street. Staff was great

Nice and clean hotel. Very close to everything. Get the parking for $29 on the premises, much more convenient than looking around. Walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants, want Monica Pier.

Property was very clean and close to everything but could hear everything in the next room when the neighbours were there and also partying at 3am. Also felt reception staff were not friendly. Alot of homeless people in the area and we felt unsafe at times.

The location is great. Because it's dog friendly, the room had a bit of smell to it. I'm not sure about the cleanliness of the sheets/pillow cases.

I always stay here— the location is exactly the same as a $1000 a night hotel next door—walk out the door to the beach—great restaurants (the Coast is 3 minutes away and the food is amazing)—the Pier is 5 minutes away—tha airport 25 minutes The rooms are simple but sufficient and very clean— the staff is great *****
