My son and I stayed for a few days here just exploring LA. It is a really cute place and nicely updated! However, get ready for small and quaint. Like no drawers for our stuff (I sometimes put clothes away!). Other than that, had all the basics. Parking is *tight* but it's LA and we were happy to even have parking! You can walk to the Santa Monica beach area w coffee shops etc but it's about a 20min brisk walk. The staff are in the office on and off. (Door is locked when they aren't there). Breakfast needs a bit of an upgrade I'm afraid. Just sugary stuff, all in packages. Overall, the place was pretty sweet (haha) just on the small side so be ready for that :) Would return.

Here’s a grammatically improved version of your text: “Very nice and clean hotel. Within walking distance of many restaurants, and just a 15-minute walk to the beach and Urth Caffé. There’s an absolute gem nearby — the Italian restaurant Piccolo.” Let me know if you’d like it to sound more formal, casual, or tailored for a review site.

Definitely more of a motel but the staff are kind and helpful. We originally booked one queen bed but it was way too small for two people to sleep, we got lucky and the staff were able to get us a room with two queens beds. That room was wonderful. Very quiet and excellent bath towels. Excellent location. Free parking.

Great stay

Very nice. Older motel with very nice updates. Very good value. Free parking was a huge plus. Good towels and linens. Extremely clean. No air conditioning but they did provide a box fan if needed. We slept with a window open and the ceiling fan. Mattress could have been softer.

The room we stayed in was as expected and immaculate! Staff, especially housekeeping, were very responsive and friendly. The area in general is not that great and very noisy. Because the room is not air conditioned, the windows had to stay open. We heard every car go by, as well as all activity in a very tight parking area.

A resort you are not

Charging a resort fee is outrageous. You get nothing for it. It is not a resort. Then you charge 3$ for a bottle of water. Over priced.

A convenient and good value stay

We really enjoyed staying at Santa Monica Hotel. The staff were really friendly and helpful. There was really only one downside - the room was pretty warm and there seemed to be no A/C. Overall, it was a good value for the area and a lovely walk down to the beach.
