You can definitely hear people outside of your room as they walk by, but it didn’t bother us too much!
They provide beach towels and coffee and tea at all times! The staff was lovely. The room was very clean and comfy and the location was amazing! We walked to Venice beach in under 30 mins and the Santa Monica pier is less than 5mins!

The wifi of our room was really bad. Almost not existing. Probably too far away from the closest router. Had to wait really long if you wanted a hot shower.
Great location. Close to the beach, and Santa Monica Pier. The room/apartment is OK.

Tiny room, old furniture, only window blocked by staircase, cheap and worn furnishings, Had to go to the office personally to ask wi fi access, no phone in room, plastic cup for drinking water, tiny dark shower, water temperature in shower cycled rapidly between too hot to too cold Big rip off, web site is misleading.
Staff kindly allowed me a late check out.

Nothing, it was a very pleasant place to stay in.
Location was the big wow for us, it was within walking distance to the pier, the beach, Starbucks and restaurants. I really like how the staff took care of the parking. We would definitely stay there again.

“Basic California Charm”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights

The motel needs to prioritise guest comfort and connection to the outside world. This starts with a reception that matches the building. We had major problems with the wifi, as mentioned in other reviews. In summer it could be torture, as there is no air conditioning, nor heating. We had to keep moving our heaters from room to room (we were there in January). Value for money: The whole area is overpriced, so for a short stay in future between flights, I would book the cheapest budget chain not on the waterfront, and take cheap Ubers or Lyfts everywhere. Others staying were complaining of the high parking charges, as it added 20-25% to the nightly price. As stated before, we were very comfortable but felt isolated without wifi, and for the price, it should have climate control.
It is like a motel next to the beach. Has some nice touches and features that feel like the old days of what the beach must have been like. The beds are super comfortable, and the staff very friendly. Free coffee at reception, which was cool, but the reception is beyond ugly - a missed opportunity to impress and create a consistency with the old world surfer charm of the refurbished rooms.

Unfortunately our room was on the first floor in the parking lot - our view was of other people's parked cars and we could hear the busy road all night. Our room therefore had no natural light since we had to keep the shades closed so people walking past didn't look right in. Also beware the parking fees are high and spaces fill up fast, we knew about this in advance and chose to use Ubers rather than hire a car, but as we were checking out another couple arrived and were surprised by the charge: $36 per night. They were told they'd read the listing wrong: it said parking FEE rather than parking FREE.
Great location, very comfy bed.

“There are much better options in the area for the money.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
The room that we stayed in (front side, second floor) was old and outdated. There were thick coats of paint covering the walls and moldings with very few modern upgrades; I think there were three power outlets in the entire room. When we arrived there was no hot water. I didn't bother to let the staff know, because I had no plans to take a shower in the tiny, old 30x30" shower stall in the morning. The heating system is a very old gas-powered unit built into the wall. In order to change the temperature, you need to turn a knob which increases the visible blue flame?! I have no idea how this is legal or up-to-code in a hotel room. Overall, it was a disappointing stay, especially for $300 a night plus the $40 for parking onsite.
The location is close to the pier and the beach and the staff was friendly enough, although there wasn't much interaction with them besides the check-in and out process.
