I had planned to spend 3 days in LA at the end of my holiday and had prebooked my hotel in West Hollywood. However after spending time in San Francisco, Yosemite, then driving down higway 1, I arrived a day earlier than planned so decided to stay a night in Santa Monica. It was Labour Day weekend so ended up... more

Yes, the location is good, but do yourself a favour and stay elsewhere. Rooms were clean, but the atmosphere was negative, including the hotel keeper who asked me not to use the bathroom when I asked to see the room. We just needed some place to stay at the last moment and chose to be by the beach. I was... more

First of all, the location was PERFECT. We could walk to shopping as well as the Pier. The evening clerk was very friendly and helpful. Now for the room... It was small, but adequate, and very pricy. We paid around $150 for the room. the bad part was the bathroom. It looked like it had been flooded for a long... more

The location is perfect, right on the beach & near the shopping area in Santa Monica. When we arrived, we booked a tour of LA in reception. It was amazing, we saw Will Smith & Charlize Theron filming on Hollywood Blvd. The rooms are very small but the place is good value. more

I work for a company that sends me all over the U.S. and this is the worst hotel i've ever stayed the night in. the bathrooms are very poor and disgusting. I've only stayed here for two nights and skipped taking a shower all together because I was afraid of catching a disease. I wanted to sleep in the company... more

This has to be one of the worst hotels I have stayed in. On a recent 3 week trip to Southern California this was the worst (AND MOST EXPENSIVE) hotel we stayed in. It is noisy, dirty and in desparate need of either a complete renovation or preferably knocking down. The original room we were allocated smelt strongly of drains... more

The Santa Monica Beach Travelodge is in a wonderful location--but that's the only reason they can charge up to $200 for a room. The rooms are tiny and not up to date (though the carpet was clean and newer than the rest of the furnishings). The bathrooms are shabby and minimally equipped, with thin towels. The room smelled bad when... more

Wow, $200 a night for this? I would not have chosen this motel had I been driving by, but I had a last minute business trip to Santa Monica and the company travel agent couldn't find anything else available. The shower stall floor was a thin piece of plastic somewhat glued down over the floor. It was curling up at... more
