Detailed Reviews
We chose this hotel because it was the cheapest one we could find near Santa Monica Beach.
Our room was clean and everything worked. It had everything we needed for a couple of days' stay.
The main reason I would recommend this place is due to the service we received while we were there. Everything we asked for was dealt with in a timely manner, genuine smiles and respect were shown at all times, and nothing seemed to be too much of a problem for the front office staff. I wish I had thought to get the names of the staff, but they were all very helpful and professional.
I would definitely stay there again if I am back in Santa Monica.

This is a great hotel mostly, very Rt 66 vibe to end a Rt 66 adventure. The room was clean, comfortable. Looked just like what you see. Hotel very walkable to the Pier and restaurants along the beach. Price seemed very acceptable at first, but beware, there are parking charges that you aren't told about until you arrive, parking is VERY VERY tight and limited, not parking friendly.

For $160 per night room I was eventually charged $227. Dont be duped by the taxes.. I was $70!!!!! They dont tell you that til you've already signed for it. Booking .com said it would only be 190 after the taxes. Then the heater just finally kicked on at 650 am as I practically froze all night. I should have slept in my car. Soooooo miserable. It is close to the beach which was good. Chez next door has food for triple the price of normal dinners. Just be prepared. I was not

So sorry you had such a miserable time, this is a great fun place to be in. I hear you about the taxes it’s like a California thing which leads into a city thing which unfortunately gets pushed off onto the visitors who have no voice on the taxing block except for our magnificent group of hoteliers here who strive every day to provide value and service for our treasured guests. Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, we really appreciate you !

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Ocean Lodge Hotel. This Hotel deserves nothing but a 5+star rating in all areas of service. The staff at this establishment were very professional and very friendly. The rooms are immaculate and there was never a need to call in the maid staff, as there were fresh towels and linens every day. The location is very convenient and it is easy to commute within the Santa Monica area. I would definitely recommend the Ocean Lodge Hotel to anyone staying in the Santa Monica area.

We arrived in the evening after a long days travel and it took an age to check in. Our room and bathroom were dirty and very dated. Then we discovered that the Wifi didn't work, so another trip to the front desk, where we were greeted with the words be patient we're working on it. It never worked all night and of course nobody was available with the office locked up. We tried the emergency telephone to no avail. The next morning a very flustered employee turned up at 10 am and agreed to change our room, which was equally dirty, but at least had Wifi. All in all a very bad experience, where we couldn't contact any sort of management for the 3 days we stayed.

We rented a king 2 bedroom suite for 1 night so we could go to the famous Santa Monica Pier and beach. Yes the room is renovated but that is as nice as it gets, sorry. The area was so loud and we could hear street noise in our room. (not the motel`s fault but maybe you should have added sound proof windows when you renovated). The safe would not lock, we went to the front desk and the clerk came and tried numerous times. It worked for her but not once for us, not useable. In the morning when we went to check out, there was nobody on premises. My hubby talked to a security guard, by phone and said someone would be there for 8:30am, nope. We had to catch our Uber to LAX so just left our keys and was off. I messaged directly and asked if someone could come down, never hear from them, later at 8:37 pm we got our invoice. I thought someone had to remain on premises 24/7, this was not the case.

This place is great it’s been remodeled beautifully. Great location less than 2 blocks from the pier and all the great restaurants. Beds were very comfortable. This place is close to everything. People that own it are super nice. It is an older hotel but it is a great little gem. The price for the room was very reasonable also I highly recommend And tell them Carol Ann sent you Have a great time at this little gem! I can only imagine all the people that drove Route 66 and ended up staying right here. I’m sure this place is a piece of that history

This is a little gem of a hotel. It’s a retro place that’s like stepping back in time, yet it has all the amenities you need, especially the fastest wifi ever. The rooms are remodeled quite nicely with a beachy vibe. Our room was barefoot clean. Comfortable beds, great pillows. This is a unique little place, a remnant of the past, but it sure looks loved and taken care of. If you’re a fan of uniformity, don’t stay here. This place is special with a wonderful staff. A very short walk to the Pier and all the restaurants nearby.

It’s a great location within 5 minutes walking distance of the beach, bars and restaurants. The Hotel rooms for the money are pretty good and clean and tidy. The staff are very friendly and obliging. There are coffee facilities in the room and in the lobby too.
