It's an unassuming place sandwiched between a Jack-in-the-Box and a residential neighborhood, but don't let the location fool you. It's a lovely old-school motel with very clean rooms and a comfortable bed. Since it is an older place, the rooms are small, and a large person may have problems with the size of the bathroom and shower. The courtyard, however, makes up for any lack of space. Tucked in behind the main building, the courtyard is private, quiet, and has lovingly maintained landscaping. It's walkable to the Santa Monica waterfront, and there's access to public transportation. Plus, the Piccolo Italian restaurant just around the corner is AMAZING! I'll certainly stay here again when I revisit Santa Monica.

Small room but that is because of the age(1938). It was spotless & smelled fresh & clean. It was quiet & peaceful & a very good price for the location (close to many little cafés & Walgreens a block away).

Room is ok, very small. Older dated small motel. Staff nice. They use old fashion keys. It is literally next to a jack in the box drive thru. Felt insecure and would not do that again.

First off the room was very clean. No bugs. Bed was very comfortable. I had a courtyard room which is recommended. It is gated and secure. Lots of tables and chairs in the courtyard. It is right next to a Jack In The Box restaurant which wasn’t busy and loud but I was here in January so not as much tourist traffic. You have to Park your car right next to it so there is safety concerns there so don’t leave valuables in your car, Only bad thing: NO hot water from sink or shower. Don’t like cold showers

Bathroom hot water had to be left on for 5 minutes before it got warm, another 3 to get hot, then it wouldn’t drain, I was afraid to use the shower because of the fear of standing in water, middle of December heater broken, dead batteries in the TV remote, double bed instead of a qween bed, had to turn sideways to get from bed to the bedroom, no place to put the suitcase rack except in front of the exit door, the only thing good about this room was it was clean

room was clean but there was an OVERWHELMING smell of cleaner in the air - my clothes smelled like it the next day. Also, no hot water in the shower. That was a bummer at 5 in the morning. I was surprised it had an 8 rating on Expedia. I would put it at a 5.

There are a better bunch of choices. It’s a short shower and the hot water ran out. Sheets were not these performances. Also was a sign of the door that the balls are fit.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was reasonable, the bed was nice, but the neighborhood was a little shady. The location is viably convenient to drive from, but being located next to a Jack in the Box also brought some occasional homeless folks to seek help with food from the restaurant. I wish they kept the floors in my room a bit cleaner. Staff was friendly.
