Incredibly helpful staff and great location

Incredibly helpful staff and great location - even had free use of boards and towels to take to the beach

The Sea Shore Motel is in a great location in Santa Monica. It's so close to the fabulous beach and lots of nice restaurants and bars. The owner was very friendly welcoming. The junior suite had plenty of room for a family of four.

Would stay again

Great location near a lot of local spots and the beach. Having some beach supplies on hand such as towels and ice was a great value add! Major old school motel vibes and very clean but not the most comfortable bed out there. Friendly staff!

Great visit

My daughter and I visted for her birthday and it was a fun trip. Its actually a great little spot. Can be noisy with the "frat" like parties across the street, but the noise did not bother us however it did give us some great entertainment.

Classic motel

Loved the man at check in and his dog. The place is kind of retro and cute. Having parking was absolutely key for me. The noise from upstairs was annoying and Saturday night the noise on the street was quite loud.

A perfect place to stay to explore Santa Monica.

We had a great time at Sea Shore Motel. It’s clean and quiet in a friendly neighbourhood. We had ample room for a family of four (with 2 teenagers). The free parking is a definite bonus and there is a fabulous bakery right on the corner of the property. Walk to the sea front is 10 minutes and 20 minutes to the iconic Santa Monica pier. We were able to borrow beach chairs and towels. The motel staff are very efficient and friendly.

Here for just a brief stay for AIDS Lifecycle but glad we found this amazing little place! Very cool beach vibe just outside of old downtown, very walkable and an incredible bakery in front. Will come back!

Great 1960’s SoCal beachy motel. All the necessary amenities. Very clean. New, double-glazed windows kept the room quiet. Very affordable. Close, delicious food of all kinds.

Beautiful beach bungalow

We were able to upgrade to a bigger suite for a small fee and were blown away by how spacious the small apartment was: a bedroom with 2 queen beds, full kitchen, dining room, and living room with a massive sectional sleeper sofa, and a lovely, peaceful patio. High ceilings made it feel even bigger. Staff was super friendly and had boogie boards, beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas on hand to lend. Just a couple blocks to a great beach and all kinds of food and entertainment.

No cellular service, no Wi-Fi

The location is perfect, quick 5 minute walk to the beach. Air conditioner worked great, no problem there. The parking is excellent, convenient, and very safe. The only problem we had was with the WI-FI , no signal, and the outlets wouldn't work, the only one that charged our phones was the outlet in the bathroom, the girls had to go upstairs on the balcony to get some signal, other than that, the motel is very decent.

Cute, cozy motel - walk to beach & delicious food

Friendly staff provides beach towels and chairs when you walk to beautiful Santa Monica beach. Room is really clean and cozy. Classic style motel. Delicious all-vegan restaurants or vegan options within walking distance. THE BEST vegan donuts I've ever had at Holey Grail just down the street.
