We liked the bed and playing cards

We didn’t like the toilet

The Location is AWESOME right across from Chez Jay and one block from the Santa Monica Pier. If you have seen Netflix show Goliath then you know how close. The staff, especially the housekeeping staff were very nice. We had a King suite with King bed and Queen bed that had it's own room. Plenty of closet space, shower was good and TV good.

The beds need to be upgraded from hard motel style beds to more like a hotel bed with real comfort. Would not stay there for more than a couple of days because the beds were hard. They did a great job on everything else, not fix the bed and it is a TRUE WINNER all the way around. Also, beware parking is tight but we had a mid-large SUV and worked out well.

As stated above

Some guests were extremely noisy after 12 midnight. Maybe there should be a message to come back quietly after 11 pm. Also NO internet and the TV didn’t work!!!

Our family really enjoyed our time in LA. The property was right across the road to Santa Monica Pier and a short walk to the main shops and the metro train and bus stop. A nice walk to/from Venice beach especially with a beautiful sunset. The property is nicely renovated keeping its charm and character. It is clean tidy and the beds were comfortable. It had everything we needed and a great place to relax after all our LA exploring. The staff were very friendly and helpful, even with our late night flight arrival.

The location of the property couldn't have been better or more ideal. We were a short walk from the Santa Monica Pier as well as several restaurants in the area. The hotel was perfectly nice, and the room was spacious and comfortable. Location, however, is what sets this property apart. We would highly recommend the Ocean Lodge Santa Monica Beach Hotel to anyone who wants to spend a few days around the ocean and all of the fun spots around the pier.

The good outweighed the not so good to such a degree that it's almost impossible to remember anything that we would consider subpar. Some of the restaurants and bars were a bit on the pricey side, but we expected that.

My parking experience at the hotel was extremely disappointing. The maneuverability in the Parking Area was Severely constrained Due to the limited space available. Arriving Late at the hotel, I Found All The Parking Spaces Already Occupied. The Assigned Spot, which I had to navigate into, provided to be a significant challenge, requiring careful maneuvers to Prevent Potential Damage to my car or Neighboring vehicles. Regrettably, my efforts were not entirely successful, and I discovered a small scratch on one of the side doors of my car. This damage was incurred while attempting to navigate within the confined space, ultimately colliding with one of the columns present in the parking structure. This experience has left me dissatisfied, emphasizing the need for improved parking management and space allocation at the hotel.

The hotel is in the best location of Santa Monica, a couple of minutes walk to the pier, so close to the metro station. The staff is very friendly, especially the lady at my 1st day. I arrived early, she let me checked in immediately which was so so nice.

It is a little bit pricey. And if the luggage storage time can be a little bit longer, it will be great! My flight was at midnight, but the lady at the reception said I had to pick up my big suitcase at 5pm

Just two blocks from Santa Monica Pier. The room was very clean and a nice size. The guy at the desk was very nice and helpful. New air conditioning unit, which worked great. We loved staying at this quaint motel. It was a 50's style motel that had been remodeled. I would love to stay at this motel again.

Parking was very tight. I parked in public parking on the other side of the bushes just a few extra feet to walk for about $18 for 24 hours. The bathroom windows also need work.

Staff and Front desk were amazing , as well as very caring and understanding , too . We cleaned our own hotel room , so , we didn't use any other services . We enjoyed the very close location to the beach and to the amazing restaurant right next door / Chey Jays Seafood and Backyard Grill ! It was so nice not having to go too far to grab a bite to eat, and then walk a few feet away to get back to our hotel to rest up ! We are definitely booking again at this hotel / location and everytime we travel here to Santa Monica , California ! This hotel is the BEST ! Thank You Ocean Lodge Hotel for everything you did to help us enjoy our vacation this year ! We will see you next year if not sooner ! The McCarty Family 👪 ❤ 8/27/23 - 8/28/23

We didn't like that we had to leave , so soon , and , that we didn't get to stay longer? 😪

We stayed in a 2 room suite which is really hard to find! The beach decor was so warm and welcoming! The rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable! The staff was friendly and accommodating! This hotel is is within walking distance to the pier and beach! From the balcony you can see the ocean and the night life!

The parking is very tight and you have to pay an additional $33 for it! On the upside, they let me leave my car 2 hrs. before check in and 3 hrs. after check out. The staff is great and very accommodating. I would recommend paying for the parking, so you can go and come as you please! It is limited, so reserve a spot when you make your reservation!
