What guests think
Across many reviews, Pavilions Motel is described as very run-down, with frequent reports of roaches, bedbugs, mold, strong odors, and poor maintenance, while a smaller number highlight a convenient Santa Monica location and low prices.
Many guests also cite nonworking TVs, outlets, and heaters, plus unreliable Wi‑Fi and faulty locks or an open-access courtyard that make rooms feel insecure. Service feedback is mixed: some found staff friendly, but multiple reviews describe rude or unprofessional behavior, a cash-only key deposit, and difficulty obtaining refunds. Overall, expect a very basic, budget stay with significant cleanliness and maintenance concerns.

Homeless people live here. Roaches in the bathroom, on the wall, in the pictures. Stains on the bedding. Broken down cars with old supplies on and under in the parking lot. Cots for homeless to sleep on in all but one or two rooms. Did not stay there. Asked for refund. Told Expedia to remove this as a motel because it is a homeless shelter.

The hotel was shabby and rundown. There were flies and roaches in the bathroom. The electric outlets didn't work. The WiFi didn't work. The upkeep was non-existent. They charged a $20 cash deposit for the key, but the office was closed at 7:30 am so I couldn't get the deposit back. I've been in economical (cheap) motels before. This one was by far the worst.

Yes, the reviews are correct. Over 5 dady long legs spiders and 3 cockroaches appeared in the room, and met my shoe. The convenience is friendly staff and a parking lot. Its in an amazing location that is very close to the beach down the same street. Starbucks and gas station available near as well. Its not the cleanest but it gets the job done in a way.

Unsafe and unsanitary. I'm fine with no-frills places like Motel 6, but this was a different story. I booked three nights and had to leave after one. The rooms surround a courtyard that anyone from the street can walk right up to. And the doors do not have deadbolt locks (they were removed) and all that's left are flimsy doorknob locks that don't work properly. I ended up taking all my valuables with me as I explored Los Angeles. The room wasn't clean when I arrived. Bedsheets have holes, the furniture is beat up, the shower curtain was ripped. Paint was peeling. The room was full of bugs. Beetles were scurrying around the shower while I was in there, and there was chewing gum (!!!) in my towel when I tried to dry off. It was disgusting. Two other rooms had dogs in them, so there was an all-night barking fest, and I couldn't sleep. Room numbers are written on the doors in permanent marker. I could go on, but please don't stay here. For your own health and safety.

The property is currently under renovation but on a budget, doing only one room at a time. Very basic but dated - probably built in the 1930s - (no coffee service, no microwaves, no laundry. etc.). It has a very pleasant courtyard. The beds were comfortable, but had no headboards for late night reading. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The tv didn’t work. The shower head didn’t work and sprayed water in all directions. There were only two outlets so it was hard to charge our devices. We had to unplug the heater to charge our phones. The room was tiny and very rundown with grimy curtains, and peeling paint. There were a few positive things. The office managers were friendly and helpful. The parking was free. The location was very convenient to the art fair at the Santa Monica airport. And the price was reasonable.

Motel was in terrible shape, holes in the walls, bugs crawling everywhere and the reek a foul stench. The night was a nightmare of loud music and historical laughter. The bathroom had mold on the walls and tiles were missing. I would never stay at this motel.

The rooms had visible stains on the bedding and throughout the rooms. There was visible mold in the bathroom and throughout the rooms. The hotel could not give us a key to the room because the previous tenant took the key with them. The hotel did not rekey the room creating a dangerous situation where the previous tenant could enter our room at anytime. Worst experience and ended up having to leave to a different hotel due to unsanitary conditions and safety. When called the hotel the next day to describe the situation the hotel clerk began cussing at us on the phone.

This was a last-minute booking for me, although it was the worse experience. The room the door to get in wouldn’t lock from outside. Second of all the room had roaches, and then sheets and towels were dirty third bathroom had a plumbing issue where water would leak outside from the bathroom. Lastly, in the middle of the night when I was sleeping, someone open my door and were in my room for a hot minute and two I told him to leave and I’m calling the cops immediately I just got up and left, this was around 5am and hung around Santa Monica Beach until 9 AM. Went back to check out, I asked if I can get a refund since I had a horrible experience and the person has audacity to say I’m paying what I’m getting for. I stayed at motels that were less than this one and everything was clean.

It turns out the only good thing about this place was the location. I was locked out of my apartment and needed to stay for one (late) night. It was close and I had seen it in passing. The room was tiny, the dresser broken, the heat did not work and it was a cold rainy night, the soap was the size of a saltine cracker, towels mismatched and old. At least the bed was acceptable.

I showed up late at night after a long flight from the east coast looking to finally get some sleep. The man who answered the door was shirtless and confused (intoxicated?). I told him I had a reservation and he said "Not here you don't". I tried to show him the confirmation email but he said "Well what do you want me to do about it, I'm already in bed!". At which point I realized that I was not welcome. Even if I could have convinced him that I had a reservation, I would not feel completely safe or comfortable with this hostile man having access to my room. I left since I wasn't going to be given a room, and both Hotels.com and Pavilions refused to give me a refund.

The guy that runs it is nice enough. But nothing worked except the light's. It was terribly dirty and very cramped. Oh and there is a $20 CASH deposit for the key fyi. So o had to go about half a mile to the nearest ATM to get cash. Honestly its way overpriced for what you get.

I stayed a few hours at this Motel, after concluding that the combination of the lack of a smoke detector and presence of unspecified fumes was unsafe. Stains all over the bedding. I wanted to like this place. The location is great, even around the property. The receptionist was not the worst, he offered another room but what I experienced was a deal breaker.

Impeccable, friendly, knowledgeable and supportive well attired staff took great care of us during our entire stay. Would highly recommend this hotel based on the service and quality of the accommodations. Most comfortable room and the beds and all the bedding were the most comfortable I’ve experienced. Thanks to the best group of people I’ve ever met! Great time staying at the hotel only a block away from the best views and shopping and restaurants. Great not having to drive or find parking and a short walk to the pier. Love love love!!!

It turns out the only good thing about this place was the location. I was locked out of my apartment and needed to stay for one (late) night. It was close and I had seen it in passing. The room was tiny, the dresser broken, the heat did not work and it was a cold rainy night, the soap was the size of a saltine cracker, towels mismatched and old. At least the bed was acceptable.

Yes, the reviews are correct. Over 5 dady long legs spiders and 3 cockroaches appeared in the room, and met my shoe. The convenience is friendly staff and a parking lot. Its in an amazing location that is very close to the beach down the same street. Starbucks and gas station available near as well. Its not the cleanest but it gets the job done in a way.

The tv didn’t work. The shower head didn’t work and sprayed water in all directions. There were only two outlets so it was hard to charge our devices. We had to unplug the heater to charge our phones. The room was tiny and very rundown with grimy curtains, and peeling paint. There were a few positive things. The office managers were friendly and helpful. The parking was free. The location was very convenient to the art fair at the Santa Monica airport. And the price was reasonable.

When asking the front desk for a refund so we could go elsewhere due to the roaches crawling up the wall and the mold around the windows, I was told "you shoulda booked a Hilton". The bed was comfortable. That\'s the best thing I can say.
