Absolutely blown away! I didn’t go with high hopes but this property exceeded my expectations in every department. I stayed here in April for a weekend. Big clean room, clean bathroom with a lot of towels and toiletries, and great shower pressure. King size bed was comfortable and the room had a chair, tv, a table, cupboard and nightstands. Now the two absolute best features of this property: 1- FREE on-site parking (up to 80$ at other properties in the area per day on top of the room rates). 2- AMAZING location! Beach is 10 min by foot, 5 min drive or on bike. Property is surrounded by restaurants and other stores. There’s a great cafe on location for your morning coffee fix (a lot of locals were seen here too). On Sunday, I got to see the farmers market right across from the motel. 10 min drive to Venice beach! The staff here was very friendly. They treated me with respect and kindness. Whenever I visit LA again, this is where I will stay. Highly recommended!

Super! Except....

I love this place! It is such a fun beach place. Its great except the bar across the road, which is not fair for the proprietor. It is a great place if your a partier until 2:30 in the morning. We had a great time except for that.

Great Location and Friendly Staff

The location can’t be beat! I was able to walk the few blocks to the beach first thing each morning. So many coffee and breakfast places so close. Walked to Venice beach in no time one day and the next day walked to Santa Monica Pier. I was able to get to everywhere I wanted to go easily. Plus, it was easier than I thought it would be to drive to Berely Hills and the Lakers game. The staff was so nice and welcoming. I will definitely be staying at the Sea Shore again when I visit LA!

The beds are hard and rather uncomfortable and there is no means in the room to make a hot drink which was the first in our month long trip. A bit shabby too, so expensive for the standard provided.

Old but clean

It’s old but clean, typical California hotel near the beach parking was a bit tight. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance.
