I stayed one night at the Seaview, but it wasn't a good one. My room, at the Ocean Avenue end of the building, has intermittent noise all night. It wasn't that there was a ton of traffic at 3 a.m., but the traffic was going fast and was therefore loud. As previously mentioned, the windows are too thin to keep... More

My wife had never stayed in santa monica before. It is one of my favorite places in america, and I have been there a couple times prior to our honeymoon. Each time I stayed in a small, mom and pop hotel right off the beach. They are disappearing rather quickly. Which is a shame, because those hotels are what connect... More

Our room backed onto the main road and I found it quite noisy at night. Maybe new windows would keep more noise out as the current ones are just thin slats. Apart from that nice, clean room for a great price. No frills as previously stated by other reviewers. Would stay again though and recommend to others for a short... More

Great location, good size room, clean, terrible stay. My room, next to office, had a primitive gas heater that was not properly vented. The room smelled of gas and I was forced to manaully shut it off. This is a real hazard. When I told the person in the office about it the next morning, she shrugged. Why didn't I... More

We arrived at Seaview to spend the first 2 nights of our 8 night stay in California, my first impression was OMG, the premises looked a bit tired and when we went to check in the chap in the office was curled up asleep in the armchair with the TV blasting out, when we got his attention he advised us...

We had a 2 night layover in LA and wanted to stay in Santa Monica so booked this place mostly because it was substantially cheaper than anything else in the area. First impressions aren't great but don't let that put you off. Our room was spacious and clean with a huge bed which was very comfortable. The room was tastefully... More

We love this place and wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else in Santa Monica. It is kitch, homely and just a great place to stay. Now, it isn't luxury but it is real down to earth place with great rooms in an amazing location - it is minutes from Santa Monica's amazing beach and pier and a short stroll to... More

Stayed at the Seaview for 3 nights in June. We wanted to be in Santa Monica and only really stayed here based on price, as all the other hotels were quite expensive. The positives were HUGE very comfortable beds - the most comfortable I think I've ever slept in! The rooms were also on the large side, so plenty of... More

I stayed here on a Friday night, my first night in California. I arrived in the area an hour before check in, and the lady in the office was nice enough to let me put my luggage in my room even though it was not quite ready yet. The location is fantastic! Less than a five minute walk to the... More
