The location of the motel is great, in the heart of Santa Monica, so you don't need a car. Thought it was very expensive for the quality of the room. The furnishings were very old, the floor felt and looked really grubby, one of the towels was stained - not nice. It was also quite noisy at night - there's... More

We chose this motel based on the other reviews here and it did not let us down. The reception staff are very friendly and welcoming and were very forthcoming with reccomendations, local map and even suggestions for our next few days in Vegas. We booked a king room, but were given a standard double. As I'm 6ft 5 I simply... More

This is a really difficult motel to rate. There is much to commend Sea Shore Motel, but despite its high TripAdvisor rating it's worth being aware of a few things as well. Service: - Really, really nice people who are very helpful and pleasant to deal with. - Housecleaning is done well by pleasant staff members. Location: - Easy drive... More

We ( a family of four) stayed at this motel at the end of our west coast tour of the US. It was handy to the beach, the great Abott Kinney road shops and restaurants and a 20 minute walking distance to the Santa Monica shops. It is in a somewhat vacant stretch of Main Street but has a few... More

We stayed 2 nights in may 2013, our room was 11on the second floor (note there are no lifts so be prepared to carry your luggage up one flight of stairs) Great king size bed with lovely soft cotton sheets and comfy pillows. Room is air conditioned. Floors are tiled. Decor is in keeping with the style of the hotel.... More

Family-run, small, simple and cordial. Very well located outside of downtown Santa Monica -- but extremely close to beach, restaurants, small shops. I like to walk so this spot was perfect. Yes, decor is somewhat outdated, and a few coats of paint here and there would help. But it's clean and efficient, and the staff is very helpful and cordial.... More

Let me say Ive stayed here before and although its a great location, the owners had better beware to get off their butts and do a better job of taking care of business or they will see how fast they fall... The bedding and the rooms are outdated...Our room could use some paint and a bit of plumbing and bedding..... More

Cute motel on Main Street. We had room 11. California king bed, big plasma TV, air con, table & 3 chairs, wardrobe, drawers & bathroom with a shower. It's nothing flash but its very clean & comfortable, easy walking distance to pretty much all of Santa Monica. Try the Omlette House - breakfast there was great, we went twice! And... More

Only a block back from the beach, great location. Room was clean & spacious. Reception staff helpful and friendly. Loved our time at Santa Monica, the panini cafe down the road did beautiful breakfasts. Only complaint was the toilet didn't flush too well and got blocked over overflowed one of the days. A plunger in the room would be handy... More
