Upgrades not so much

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

Good location and value

Very good value as it is a short Uber ride or scooter ride from the Santa Monica Pier. The front desk attendant was very friendly and welcoming. Would stay here again on my next trip to Santa Monica/Venice Beach.

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.
