We stayed here for 2 nights in April. Location is great, walking distance to Pier and 3rd street. Free wifii, free parking. Price is very reasonable, rooms are spacy and clean. Lovely garden. We stayed in room 14 which was close to the road. Only problem is the car noise you hear while trying to sleep, otherwise a 5 star,... More

Stayed here for one night during quick road trip from Oakland. Love the Retro feel of this hotel. We got a free upgrade when we checked in, and we were very pleased with the room. It was clean and the bed was super comfortable. Will stay here again next time in town.

I was so excited to book a stay at this hotel for a big upcoming trip after seeing dozens out of my price range. Unfortunately this hotel is all smoke & mirrors! After researching (on THEIR website) the room rates and availability for my stay, I decided to go ahead and lock in the low rate. After trying several times,... More

Me and my friend had to find a place to stay one night prior to a 2 week tour we had already orgainised. We wern't looking for anything special, just a cheap place close to central Santa Monica. Seaview ticked all the boxes. We arrived early from our international flight to find our room wasn't ready, which we predicted. They... More

The motel is walking distance to the pier, beach, and great restaurants. It is a older hotel right on Ocean Ave. It is very tough to get any decent sleep, because of lights and noise(you can hear every conversation). The bathrooms are very old and need updating. The staff is friendly, but you must ask for towels and washcloth.

This is the coolest! Now if you want 5 star then prolly not your cup o tea. Close to beach, clean, nothing fancy but safe and has all you need. Awesome location, great landscaping, private patio as well as a roof top sun deck with ocean view. You cant beat it! The staff is awesome. Would highly recommend!

This was one of the cheapest places to stay in Santa Monica and its location near the beach (just one street ) was excellent. Its also a short walk to the shops and restaurants. The room itself was more like a small apartment set round a small courtyard which was quite pleasant. Bedding was clean but the bathroom felt a... More
