Honestly, this cute little hotel was worth the stay. Very close to the beach and the freeway. The parking was easy and secure. The hotel is close to restaurants, stores and Mel's Dinner. The room was big enough, and the beds were comfy. We loved our stay there!

Conveniently located. Rooms were clean but small. Staff were friendly and beds were comfortable. The free e-bikes were a nice bonus. Worth a stay for a night or two to explore Santa Monica and Venice.

It is an older motel but amazingly maintained. Room was super clean and the ladies on the front desk were so friendly and helpful. We were able to leave our car here and walked to Venice Beach and to the Santa Monica Pier. We would definitely come back.
