A wonderful experience with clean rooms, fabulous staff and comfy beds.
When we come back to Santa Monica..
This 5 star motel is our home away from home.
Reasonable price too..
Good location for the price. Very strange check in done with a robot that asked you to scan your id and show your credit card to a screen, it then dispense two keys from the machine.
The rooms have recently been updated and the Cottage was a perfect room for us. The exterior might need modernization but they seems to be working on that. Over all a good stay and we would stay there again.
Excellent hotel. Great service and a great location.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was spotless but the fridge leaked and rattled all night long. Place was quiet with easy parking and hot shower. Toilet unsteady and moved when flushed. Room small and didn’t have tea or coffee making facilities. A good half hour walk to beach.
Guest parking, both on the property itself and along the street, is limited, which we were aware of when we booked. Being aware of it still doesn't mitigate the inconvenience of not having enough dedicated spots for each unit. It was difficult to find street parking within 2-3 blocks of the resort by 9pm or so. Perhaps the owner could work out an arrangement with nearby businesses that allows their guests (identifiable by a tag, placard, etc.) to use otherwise empty parking areas overnight...?
The unit itself was attractive and functional and within a 20-25 minute walk from the beach and pier area. We drove to the pier for the evening (the street spots were taken, so we spent $20 to park in the pier parking lot!) because we weren't sure how safe it would have been to walk back to the room after dark, but we would have been fine.
If feeling safe, having a nicely maintained unit, and being in close proximity to the beach is important and you're not looking for extra frills, this seemed like a nice choice for the money compared to the high end options.
Property is being renovated, mostly the office and grounds. It clean and safe. Also small, maybe a dozen rooms. Parking is next to the rooms but not sufficient for a full house.
