Sea Shore Motel

I would recommend this cute little spot. My family and I enjoyed it.

It was mostly good. Older rooms and we stayed on the bottom floor. We could hear the people upstairs most of the night. I would recommend requesting an upstairs room. Aside from that the location is great. A 5 minute walk to the beach and right in the middle of Santa Monica Pier and the Venice Boardwalk.

Well positioned motel with self parking included, Good sized, clean room, perhaps a little dated but OK. Check in was quick, if a little impersonal but disappointing that the promised on-site coffee shop was shut for holidays. This is an advertised facility and was part of the reason I chose this accommodation. There are no in-room coffee/hot drink/snack alternatives so the holiday period should have been advised at time of booking or as soon as known - even at check in. Didn't use the wifi because my security threw up an issue with the provider so didn't risk it. Air con noisy but powerful and as we didn't need it overnight it wasn't a problem. Overall, expensive for what we received.

On first arrival, a bit concerned as found it very old fashioned and a bit basic, (used to more modern establishments) however, do not be put off, as welcome very friendly, room and property very clean, good shower and bathroom supplies (which included facial wipes), free parking (kindly also allowed us to leave the car the following day after check out to explore Venus beach) and very close to downtown Santa Monica (including walking distance to Santa Monica pier and Venus beach) ideal for one or maybe two nights stay (we only needed one) but had been all we had needed. (free WiFi was also great and decent speed), thank you.

OMG what a cute and comfortable place to stay. Found this gem last minute- Great hole in the wall, near everything!!
