After reading the reviews of Santa Monica Motel, online, I almost cancelled my reservation! But guess what? I'm delighted that I didn't! I stayed at Santa Monica Motel for 5 nights at the end of September. So here is my review: THE STAFF The staff is very prompt, professional, courteous, and accommodating. Early check in is available if the room... more

My experience was a nice clean 3 day stay. 2 minutes from 3&7 bus lines,(LAX to here 75 cents with 1 transfer on the bus takes about an hour, or $45 by taxi, across the street from Jack in the box and Arbys restaurant along with others. It was a great clean room with good service and free internet, remote... more

To be honest, I don't think this place is as bad as the other reviews say. Maybe I got the good room, maybe the place is starting to get its act together, or maybe I'm just not used to the luxurious places, who knows. In all fairness, $50/night for a place thats 2 minutes from the Santa Monica Pier is... more

This was our first trip to mainland US and we were looking for reasonable priced but comfortable accommodation for 2 nights. The location was ok but there were many problems: (1) there was not even a glass in the motel room for my husband to put water into when taking his medication; (2) the shower may have been hot but... more

Warning: The stories about broken locks and dirty smelly rooms are unfortunately all true. I paid $49.00 for each night and I knew it wans't going to be the four seasons but at least I thougt the place would be clean. My girl friend's eyes were all red after she took a shower there and there were hand prints on... more

This place was so unsafe! The chain on the door was missing, and the widows did not lock. There was no air conditioning, no screens on the windows, and the room was run down and dirty. The other guests were seedy and questionable. I felt very unsafe and vulnerable. It was like a motel that rented "by the hour," if... more

Management response from

Thank you for staying at the Santa Monica Motel, and I apologize that your stay was not to your expectations. Although our property is an older building overall, we do pride ourselves on guestroom cleanliness and excellent customer service. We did research your concerns, and have since addressed the issues of cleanliness with our housekeeping staff. Our rooms do not...

It is a very budget motel and the lowest price in the santa monica city. It provided with free parking and the rooms are as good as expected from the low prices. Staffs are friendly and not too many problems seen to really complain about. It's best for a low price motel that would save money for other things and... more

Please see photos for confirmation - the chain lock on the room was ripped off, so we requested another room. As the photos show, there were bugs in the shower and a tear in the window screen. The tear wouldn't be so bad, but this motel has no air conditioning. Also, the toilet handle fell off the first time we... more

Please, please do NOT even consider staying here. I couldn't find anywhere else in Santa Monica as I arrived towards the evening and had no reservations. This place was recommended by the receptionist in the Pacific Sands Motel (I suspect that they might be under the same ownership - see the reviews for that place too). I should have trusted... more
