Great location near a lot of local spots and the beach. Having some beach supplies on hand such as towels and ice was a great value add! Major old school motel vibes and very clean but not the most comfortable bed out there. Friendly staff!

Classic motel

Loved the man at check in and his dog. The place is kind of retro and cute. Having parking was absolutely key for me. The noise from upstairs was annoying and Saturday night the noise on the street was quite loud.

A perfect place to stay to explore Santa Monica.

We had a great time at Sea Shore Motel. It’s clean and quiet in a friendly neighbourhood. We had ample room for a family of four (with 2 teenagers). The free parking is a definite bonus and there is a fabulous bakery right on the corner of the property. Walk to the sea front is 10 minutes and 20 minutes to the iconic Santa Monica pier. We were able to borrow beach chairs and towels. The motel staff are very efficient and friendly.

Our two night stay at the Sea Shore Motel was perfect for our family of five. Our room had a bedroom, a pullout couch and a full kitchen and was very clean. The property is in within walking distance to Venice Beach and the Santa Monica Pier as well as many restaurants and shops.

No cellular service, no Wi-Fi

The location is perfect, quick 5 minute walk to the beach. Air conditioner worked great, no problem there. The parking is excellent, convenient, and very safe. The only problem we had was with the WI-FI , no signal, and the outlets wouldn't work, the only one that charged our phones was the outlet in the bathroom, the girls had to go upstairs on the balcony to get some signal, other than that, the motel is very decent.

Great Value Steps from the Ocean

The room featured a clean, well-maintained shower and bathtub. The locked gate at the street entrance added an extra layer of security, which I appreciated. The motel is within walking distance of the beach. Although the building is older, it has been nicely renovated and felt very secure. I felt completely safe during my stay—the rooms were quiet, and we were not disturbed by our neighbors. I especially enjoyed the spacious room, which included a bath, two queen beds, an armoire with a television, a dining table, and a refrigerator. The manager was very accommodating and even provided a microwave upon request, which made our stay feel even more comfortable. I also noticed extensive security camera coverage throughout the property. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend the Seashore Motel to anyone looking for a place to stay in Santa Monica.

We enjoyed our stay here; this super cute, quaint motel is right in the middle of everything. ( piers and beaches)They even let you use chairs and boogie boards at no cost. There's a wonderful bakery next door, Bread and Butter, that we went to daily. Would definitely stay here again. Traveled with my two girls 11 and 13.
