Nice small motel near the beach
Nothing special. But everything you need for a night or two near the beach. Plenty of parking, which is a plus. Room lacked sound insulation so the big snorer next door seemed to be in my room. Staff friendly and helpful.

The best thing about this place is the location. Literally minutes to the beach and a central hub for entertainment. They provided lounge chairs and beach towels at no extra charge. Easy to access LA downtown and Hollywood by car. The motel itself is no frills and needs updating. We had no microwave or coffee maker in the room. It was cleanish. Really could have used a good scrub down. Bed was comfortable and lots of pillows provided. Good if you're looking for a cheap room that you’re not spending a ton of time in.

Great place to stay, central and walkable to SM pier and Venice Beach. A funky old style motel. Staff are amazing, friendly and helpful. This is a family run business and it shows in such a good way. Highly recommended..

This is a real vintage motel. It reminded me of places we would stay when I was a child. The check-in went smoothly and the man at the desk was friendly and helpful. There are coffeemakers and a microwave in the lobby and guests can choose which one to take to their room at check-in. The motel is in a convenient location, close to some restaurants and the beach. The Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach are both about a mile away. The biggest problem we had was that we stayed on a Friday and Saturday night and there is a bar across the street that was very noisy well into the night. Not the motel’s fault, but certainly worth mentioning. Otherwise, it was fine for the price and offered free, safe parking.

Very nice man and his cute dog working the front desk. The room was spaciuos and clean. My only issue was that the bed was a firm box spring and the pillows were flat. But a nice one night stay overall.

This might be the best 2 star hotel on the planet. The staff were super friendly, and the room was to die for. I can totally recommend the suites, so roomy. And the beach is a 5 minute stroll away, and they have free towels and surf boards. Sensational, I’ll be back again
