Great views, but awful beds

Everything was great except the bed. It was like sleeping on concrete. The grounds could have been a little cleaner, but the view from our room was spectacular! The distance to anything was impeccable!

Excellent location near the beach, our room had a view of the ocean and was one of the cleanest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed in. Very nicely updated older building. Safe area, walkable to both Santa Monica Pier and to Venice Beach. Super friendly and accommodating hotel staff. Will definitely return.

The staff is extremely accommodating and friendly. They were kind enough to let me into my room a little early because it had just been cleaned, which was a big deal to me after a long flight and a spinal condition. Let me just tell you the place is very clean which is my most important factor when staying somewhere. They are close to everything and have the most incredible beachfront view. Highly recommend staying here! Ill be back!

We weren't at the hotel much as we were in town for a family funeral but the stay is always good. Great location for us and the beach is always comforting to look at. We have stayed at the Bayside often so we know it is comfortable, clean, and accommodating for our needs.
