Not at any price, thank you. The rooms are dirty and there are strange comings and goings throughout the night. The front windows could be simply lifted out and in the bathroom, where there were more tiles missing than in place the window wouldn't close. Felt vulnerable and was relieved to see daylight the next morning, get up, get out... More

My daughter and I we're traveling for a business trip and she got a bad vibe right away. I brushed it off but it got worse. Poor locking system and no screens on the windows. We had to find another hotel after paying for this one and it being unexceptable More

If walls could talk! The first room i was provided scared the hell out of me..The curtains had red splatter marks on them and the bathroom window was jarred open like it had been broke into, the room smelled like sweet bread (a very strange sensation) which just spooked me out. I changed rooms and the bathroom window seemed semi... More

The lady who works the front desk/ phones here is one bad day away from going totally postal. She totally freaked out on me during a completely mundane conversation. I was asking her if I should forward her my reservation email to her since it wasn't coming up in their system. I wasn't pissed or agitated or taking a tone,... More

I spent two weeks in Santa Monica the past december, we were a party of 7 so we booked two rooms. The rooms at Santa Monica motel are surely not that big, nor luxury either, but there's everything you need, it's clean and it's dirty cheap!! The motel is on Lincoln ave, you can go by feet to downtown Santa... More

I stayed at this place twice during my trip in california. Had some problems with my flight home. The staff was really helpful and sorted it all out for me. Walking distance to the beach and to all the shops and restaurants. Cheap place with clean rooms and free internet. I can highly recommend this place. More

Ok so they say in life you get what you pay for...so after spending 2 weeks travelling around California & Vegas staying in decent hotels I had to bite the bullet for my final 2 nights in Santa Monica and get the cheapest place I could find as funds were running low...I didn't expect luxury, just somewhere to base and...

This place is AWFUL. DO NOT STAY HERE. We were in town for 1 night, and it was the most inexpensive place to stay. You check into your room from an outside window. There is no lobby, no continental breakfast, no coffee. You walk up to the window and speak to a person behind bullet proof glass. There is a... More
