Rooms are small with tight bathrooms and limited amenities; some guests experienced long waits or inconsistent hot water and occasional noise from the street or nearby fast food, though many found the beds comfortable. Housekeeping is generally solid but a few reports mention missed details. Overall value and location stand out for short, no-frills stays.

The motel is quaint but small. It had a courtyard in the rear but my room was clean and bed was comfy. The largest gripe was noise and closeness to the road. The bathroom was really tight only one person at a time could access it. The manager/owner was nice and friendly and very accommodating however. She allowed me to use the microwave in the office since none were in my room. The rooms are very close to the parking and you could keep an eye on your vehicle, plus no stairs! It was in a great location however in Santa Monica close to the pier and Venice beach and easy access to the freeways. Overall a clean safe stay with very little creature comforts.

There are a better bunch of choices. It’s a short shower and the hot water ran out. Sheets were not these performances. Also was a sign of the door that the balls are fit.

This motel was in an unsafe area of town. There were homeless people relieving themselves on the streets, and gun shot sounds in the night. Upon checking in I complained about a strong unpleasant smell in the room. The night manager said "respectfully it is your stuff". I believe it was coming from the window air conditionining unit which made it impossible for me to use the air. Additionally, there were food crumbs and nut shells in the bed. I thought they might be bed bugs but found it appeared either the sheets had not been changed or were improperly washed. Low cost but not work the hygene and physical risk.

Bathroom hot water had to be left on for 5 minutes before it got warm, another 3 to get hot, then it wouldn’t drain, I was afraid to use the shower because of the fear of standing in water, middle of December heater broken, dead batteries in the TV remote, double bed instead of a qween bed, had to turn sideways to get from bed to the bedroom, no place to put the suitcase rack except in front of the exit door, the only thing good about this room was it was clean

Nice, clean room in a good location with free parking and a decent price. It is a small space, and the bathroom was hard to maneuver. I'm not sure that the bed was queen size. It felt more like a full-size bed.

This is a very modest hotel, so do not expect pampering. However the price was good and the beds were comfortable and I slept well. I recommend it for budget conscious travelers who intend to be out all day and just using the room for sleeping.

So I pull into the parking lot and there is no office to speak of. There is a window with a slot on the bottom to pass things through. The room was very small but cute. No coffee pot or alarm clock but it was the first room that my allergies weren't flared up because of the overuse of air fresheners. It was probably a good thing because there was no kleenex

Motel staff were lovely, let us store our bags and check in early, very friendly. Rooms were on the smaller side, but absolutely adequate with a fridge and toiletries (shampoo.conditioner/soap), an air conditioner and windows that open to let in fresh air. The rooms, linens and towels were spotless. Location is not terrible, but maybe less ideal for female travellers, as it is off a main road behind a Jack in the Box (which runs all night), in a less lit up area. Some food options nearby, as well as a Walgreens and 7/11. Walk to Santa Monica pier was approximately 30 minutes which was great. Rooms are not sound proof so take ear plugs if a very light sleeper. Overall great for the price!

Clean room with comfortable beds which were divided in separate rooms within unit, not one room as pictured. Description states “designer toiletries and rainfall shower heads” - umm…neither. Dinky “plasma television” and tiniest private bathroom possible. Felt very much like a rushed ADU built in a Jack in the Box drive thru.

The wall to the next room was paper thin and I had to listen to some guy chatting on his phone 2-5am. If only I spoke Spanish I could have had half an idea what he was saying, but he seemed to have a lot of patience as every time he ended the call it rang again, where as I had no patience left and was ready to smash his phone to smitherines. However, it was not all bad as the lady who ran the place was lovely

This was a great place to stay. There were so many restaurants nearby, and we were able to walk to Venice Beach and the Santa Monica Pier without trouble. There is free parking out front, which ends up being worth an extra $20 per day. The other hotel we stayed at later didn't have any free parking available. The bed was super comfortable and the room was clean. There actually is an air conditioner, too! That was a bit of a surprise since a few reviews said there wasn't one. They must be new. The owner of the Motel was very friendly. He let us check in at 10am (normally it's 3pm!) and recommended some good food nearby. I'd recommend this place to anyone. It's definitely an older building, but it's not run down or falling apart. It's a good deal for the area. It was the least expensive place we could find within walking distance of the beach, and we weren't sure what to expect, but it ended up being very comfortable and the area it's in didn't feel sketchy or unsafe at any point.

Check in easy and fast ,location is nearby SANTA MONICA Pier, you can working by 15 -20 minutes to arrival SANTA MONICA Pier, drive cad near in No.10 road easy connection to where you want to go. Jack in the BOX just in hotel front side you can easy buy food in there, 7-11 store and Gas station also near in hotel location. It's good staying this hotel. I can easy go to Los Angeles local or go to Disneyland park, Universal Studios Hollywood park...etc. it's wonderful staying in the hotel that I share my experience.

What a delightful place to stay! Were there for 2 nights with my husband and 12yo son; Great location in relation to the beach, restaurants, drug stores, coffee and breakfast spots - all in walking distance. Kim was AMAZING - so kind! Our room was a great size, beds were SO COMFORTABLE - so many pillows!! I just can't gush enough how much we loved this spot. Endless thanks!!

It was a nice little motel. Walking distance to the beach and everything you need. Very quiet. Nice little garden in the back. And the most welcoming and kind staff ever. Highly recommend!

Motel staff were lovely, let us store our bags and check in early, very friendly. Rooms were on the smaller side, but absolutely adequate with a fridge and toiletries (shampoo.conditioner/soap), an air conditioner and windows that open to let in fresh air. The rooms, linens and towels were spotless. Location is not terrible, but maybe less ideal for female travellers, as it is off a main road behind a Jack in the Box (which runs all night), in a less lit up area. Some food options nearby, as well as a Walgreens and 7/11. Walk to Santa Monica pier was approximately 30 minutes which was great. Rooms are not sound proof so take ear plugs if a very light sleeper. Overall great for the price!

Staff is amazing! So friendly and accommodating!!!!! Room was very clean and comfortable. Here for a 2-day pottery course and is 5 min walk to studio. Maybe another 10 min walk to beach through some great neighborhoods. Check out Kafe K for incredible coffee and breakfast. I would definitely come back to this location if I were in area.

With the exception of a view of a Jack in the Box this place had a comfy bed, updated decor and nice staff. I’d recommend it.
