Super! Except....

I love this place! It is such a fun beach place. Its great except the bar across the road, which is not fair for the proprietor. It is a great place if your a partier until 2:30 in the morning. We had a great time except for that.

Great Location and Friendly Staff

The location can’t be beat! I was able to walk the few blocks to the beach first thing each morning. So many coffee and breakfast places so close. Walked to Venice beach in no time one day and the next day walked to Santa Monica Pier. I was able to get to everywhere I wanted to go easily. Plus, it was easier than I thought it would be to drive to Berely Hills and the Lakers game. The staff was so nice and welcoming. I will definitely be staying at the Sea Shore again when I visit LA!

The beds are hard and rather uncomfortable and there is no means in the room to make a hot drink which was the first in our month long trip. A bit shabby too, so expensive for the standard provided.

Old but clean

It’s old but clean, typical California hotel near the beach parking was a bit tight. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

We love this place. It’s charming and spotless with an amazing location. The service is very friendly and there are many additional amenities in the lobby that you can choose to bring back to the room. It’s a gem and we would love to come back.
