Guest Reviews
- Betha (10/5): -
- Paniagua (9/5): - All Na
- Yanran (1/5): bad - I booked this hotel specifically because I selected and paid extra for an ocean-view room through the booking platform. However, when I arrived, the room I received had no real ocean view.
When I raised this issue with the front desk, the hotel staff did not acknowledge that I had paid extra for an ocean-view option. Instead, they told me to contact the booking platform. This was very frustrating because the ocean-view upgrade was the main reason I chose this hotel and paid a higher price.
What made the situation even more disappointing was that, even from the part of the hotel closest to the ocean, the ocean was barely visible. In my view, the way this property presents or sells “ocean view” rooms is misleading.
The hotel’s only practical response was to shift responsibility to the booking platform. By the time I checked in, it was not realistic for me to leave and find another hotel. I felt misled by the room description and unsupported by the hotel’s handling of the issue.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone booking for an ocean view.

- Declan (8/5): Easy, accessible and good price - Small motel - great location good for a quick stop/short duration. Staff very friendly which is always a plus. Shower pressure - everything else was expected being a motel style.
- Anne (8/5): séjour très agréable et parfaitement réussi. - L'emplacement est top. Près du Pear, des cafés, du Yoga, des boutiques (Apple ...).
Hôtel, chambre, bar très agréable.
Personnel très sympathique. La plage de Santa Monica pourrait être plus propre : je suis revenue deux fois avec du mazout et ma serviette est cramée ! L'hôtel donne des lingettes pour se nettoyer heureusement. La musique le matin au petit déjeuner est trop forte pour moi pour une ambiance agréable. Les autres convives ne semblaient pas gênés, donc ...
Un peu déçu : La piscine se situe près des poubelles et à proximité de la voie rapide, et la propreté n'était pas au RDV.
- Josyeli (10/5): -
- joe (7/5): - The parking next door Screen had a rip in it allowing mosquitos inside
- Aniko (10/5): -
- Monica (6/5): Buona posizione ma troppo caro - Ottima posizione davanti al molo Troppo cara per i servizi che offre.
Il parcheggio è costosissimo, ci sono molti posti economici sempre nelle vicinanze
- Sebastian Mathias (5/5): -
- Camila (10/5): Un 10! - El trato del personal y la ubicación -
- Andrew (8/5): Great location very close to beach and pier. The hotel is basic but comfortable. Staff were very nice. It’s a bit noisy - Great location. Nice staff. It’s basic but clean we were happy to stay for a short 2 nights.
- Elizabeth (8/5): - Close to the pier The parking was very tight and pillows were too thin
- Martin (7/5): Skvělá lokalita, parkování za poplatek, skvělý a velice nápomocný personál, rozumná cena vhledem k lokalitě. Určitě dopo - Skvela dostupnost, skvela pani recepcni, cistota. Ne úplně dobré odhlučnění pokojů.
- Pate Rodgers (10/5): It was perfect - Location! Nothing
- Katrin (9/5): - Hea asukoht. Hea teenindus. Teenindajad olid sõbralikud, palusime oma reisi viimasel päeval hilist välja registreerimist ning nad tulid lahkelt vastu.
- Meg (6/5): -
- Claire B (10/5): Fab would stay again - No food options on site but tea & coffee in the reception and do much nearby too
Lovely staff and a perfect location next to the beach and pier Maybe a kettle in the room not a water machine and cups not paper ones
- Dante Miguel (10/5): -
- Kevin (9/5): Brief, but nice - Close to Beach, shops Parking limited, tight, but glad I did get a spot.
- Edith (10/5): - The gentleman in the front made sure I got a good deal with parking we just stayed like 6 hours to sleep but he gave me instruction and everything since we arrived after hours!
- Halie (5/5): Would not come back. - Location Old, unsafe, nasty carpet, parking
- Annalisa (9/5): Consigliato! - La posizione
- larissa (10/5): Great location, just maybe improve on the walls of the rooms in order to block out noise from everywhere - Very easy accessible to everything loved the location It was pretty loud at night and you could here everything, from the outside to even people staying next door to us; we woke up from others alarms due to how close it sounded they were
- Willis (6/5): -
- Akhmad (10/5): -
- Ayça (9/5): -
- Antonio (10/5): Great location, clean rooms, and helpful staff . perfect for a family trip. - We had an amazing stay. The staff was very helpful and welcoming from the start. Our room was always clean when we came back, with the beds made, which we really appreciated. It fit our family of five perfectly, and the location was perfect we were able to walk to the beach, pier, and everything we wanted to do. Parking was a bit tight, but we parked next door at the public parking for about $17–$18 a night instead of the hotel’s $40. The only thing is you have to get a new ticket every 24 hours. But honestly it worked out just fine .
- Talisa (10/5): My first stay experience at Ocean Lodge is definitely a 10/10 for me. - Very clean maintenance, great customer service. The rooms were very nice and comfortable. I loved everything about the property.
- Janeth Rocio (5/5): - La limpieza Es como un hotel de paso, no tiene ningun servicio adicional a ofrecer una habitacion y por el precio en la zona hay mejores hoteles que ofrecen mas servicios
- Patricia (10/5): A perfect, relaxing getaway with everything we needed. - The location was perfect for a relaxing little getaway—quiet, convenient, and easy to enjoy. The overall stay was comfortable and met expectations for a short escape. We didn’t have breakfast during our stay, so can’t speak to that part. Honestly, everything was great and met our expectations. We didn’t run into any issues during our stay. Overall, there wasn’t anything that stood out as needing improvement.
- Aliz (6/5): Great location,but didn’t feel that my belongings are safe - Great location since it’s 2min from Santa Monica beach, clean apartment, comfortable bed, friendly staff, easy self-check in after 11pm Very noisy (walls are like cardboard, you hear all neighbors above/next to you, cars racing on the street),the window in the bathroom has no lock on it (and facing the street) so it’s not the safest feeling to leave your things in the room,safe is tiny so a laptop for example doesn’t fit
- David (7/5): - L’emplacement, personnel sympathique Les chambres, assez vétuste
- Attila (8/5): - Good location , clean, breakfast cafe For 5 people it's a little compact , no space to sit down
- Florent (8/5): Super bien placé pour visiter et se poser - Emplacement et taille de la chambre. Équipement. Un micro-onde our cafetière serait un plus
- Xavier (10/5): -
- ger (6/5): -
- Lana (8/5): -
- Roberta (8/5): - Posizione e rapporto qualità prezzo top
- Melissa (5/5): Me senti insegura pois alguém poderia nos ver pela janela do banheiro que não fechava - Confortável Janela do banheiro não fechava e ficou aberta o tempo inteiro!
- Yasemin (9/5): - Die Lage, das Personal die Zimmer, alles top.. Einziger Minuspunkt, die Parkplätze, die sich bei den Zimmern im unteren Stock befinden grenzen so Dicht an die Zimmertüre, dass man kaum mit dem Koffer ins Zimmer kommt. Und klar, wenn dann einer mitten in der Nacht ein- oder ausfährt steht man senkrecht im Bett... also Oropax oder Zimmer im oberen Stock, wenn verfügbar.
- Vila Gisbert (8/5): - La ubicación Sin opción de desayuno. Pedí cafetera pero no había y como llegué tarde, pues no quise insistir
- Andreas (9/5): -
- Sara (7/5): Super für Strand und Santa Monica Pier - Lage super (direkt am Strand und Santa Monica Pier), Personal super, Zimmer sauber. Parkplätze sind echt eng in teuer. Nur mit kleinen Autos ist das parken empfehlenswert.
Parken kostet ca. 40€. Direkt hinter der Hecke sind öffentliche Parkplätze für 18€. Nutzt lieber diese
- Pedro (10/5): Muy satisfechos - Ubicaciones excelente junto al embarcadero
- Valérie (9/5): - Près de la plage Santa Monica. Parking.un peu cher mais possibilité de laisser.la.voiture meme apres avoir laissé la.chambre. Motel assez cher
- Marius (10/5): Wir waren sehr zufrieden - Die Lage ist perfekt und das Personal sehr zuvorkommend
Im gesamten waren wir sehr zufrieden mit unseren Aufenthalt
- Emily (8/5): Great location -
- Maria (8/5): Alojamiento correcto muy bien situado en Santa Mónica. - La situación Un poco pequeño para 5 personas pero bueno
- Edwin (10/5): Loved it ! - Great location Nothing everything was great
- Maylin (5/5): - At det var bra beliggenhet Lytt mellom rommene og housekeeping banket på døren (kl. 09:00) selv om ikke forstyrr skiltet hang ute.
- christopher (10/5): Clean, close to everything, Staff cool, Bed comfortable, shower good, parking good and good value - Clean, close to everything, Staff cool, Bed comfortable, shower good, parking good and good value for dollars.
what more do you need? nothing
- NANCY (10/5): This place was a great deal and everything we needed - Prime location, great for families in terms of the space. We enjoyed
- Anna (7/5): First trip to Santa Monica - I loved the Retro Vibe. The room was small but neat and clean. The location was great, just a short walk to the Pier and promenade No kettle or coffee machine in the room. It was available in the office but the office was not available 24/7. I am a morning coffee person and I didn’t like having to get dressed to walk down to get one. Also one morning I went down at 8am and there was a note on the door stating that the Office would be closed until 9am .. no prior notice given.
- Kary (2/5): -
- Lijing (1/5): -
- Glenn (10/5): -
- Ferry (8/5): - Locatie is perfect voor lopende verkenning en ontdekking omgeving zoals Beach en winkelcentra.
'Sobere' maar nette, schone kamers.
Verder géén 'facaliteiten', maar genoeg vertier direct om je heen.
En vriendelijk, behulpzaam personeel. Prijs, maar is LA én direct aan zee, bij de Pier én bij (winkel)centrum.
- Johanna (9/5): - Muy bien ubicado El espacio de los estacionamientos estaba un poco justo.
- Sharon (8/5): Just right for our one night stay at the pier. We had a very nice breakfast at Sweet Maple one block away. - Close to pier, comfy beds. Very nice staff.Extra room with a door was nice. The water/ice machine by the office was great to fill up our water bottles. Nice to be able to park in a covered space off of the street. One of the light switches in the bedroom with the door didn’t work. Street noise because of location.
- Povilas (9/5): -
- john (10/5): - Location, locations, location.
Very very clean rooms.
Friendly staff.
It's not a resort, but makes up for it with value/location.
- Barbara (8/5): Alles hat perfekt gepasst, ich würde dieses Hotel immer wieder buchen. - Die Nähe zum Strand, die superbequemen Betten, dass man sich in der Lobby Kaffee und Tee zubereiten konnte.
Das Personal war extrem freundlich.
- Nicholas (8/5): Good value, great spot - Location was brilliant. Loud road noise and thin walls.
- James (9/5): Wonderful stay very close to Santa Monica Pier. - We had delayed flights from the east coast and arrived after the office had closed: there was an envelope taped to the window, containing clear, secure instructions for how to access our room. The room was not fancy, but comfortable and spacious. An ice machine by the office meant refreshing ice water after a long day. And the front desk staff were amazing in terms of helping us store a pile of suitcases when we explored the nearby Santa Monica Pier. Can't say enough about how great they were with us.

- Paw (6/5): - Clean room 3 beds close to the santa Monica pier and the staff/owners was nice Parking was atrocious and bed made my back hurt
- Romina (9/5): Linda experiencia - La ubicación y la atención del personal es excelente. La relación precio-calidad me pareció caro para el nivel del hotel, que tiene aspecto exterior de motel. Las camas de la habitacion contigua no es cómoda. Fuimos en temporada baja, con lo cual no fue ruidoso. Caro el parking del hotel. Y sugerencia sacar alfombras y agregar microondas. La cama de la habitación contigua es incómoda. Y el precio es elevado comparado con otros hoteles misma ubicación y mayor confort o lujo
- Elke (7/5): -
- Jeanine (8/5): Super Hotel. - Die Lage und das renovierte Zimmer. Zudem hatte ich anfangs Probleme mit dem Safe. Mir wurde sofort geholfen. Ich würde es jederzeit wieder buchen. Danke. Ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass das Hotel zumindest Frühstück anbietet. Ich habe aber eher das Gefühl, dass es in Los Angeles fast normal ist, kein Frühstück anzubieten...
- Jones (9/5): - Very close to the pier How dirty the floor was
- Jodie (8/5): - Very clean room and a central location. No tea making facility in the room, but I could make one in the reception area.
- Gregory (10/5): -
- PEDRO (9/5): - O fato de o Hotel não ter recepção 7x24 atrapalha um pouco entradas e saídas muito cedo.
Mas eles resolveram estas situações de forma minimamente satisfatória.
- Grit (10/5): -
- Bill (8/5): - Lo action is outstanding and the desk person that checked me in was very pleasant and helpful Everything was very good..no comllaints
- Mateusz (9/5): Bardzo przyjemny hotelik, pokoje super, znacznie lepiej wygląda niż na zewnątrz. Drogo, ale kupuje się lokalizację. -
- FENG WEI (7/5): -
- Cynthia (8/5): Nice place, friendly staff; lovely private courtyard court - Only stayed one night but Cameron in the office was very friendly and accommodating. As an older woman traveling alone, I felt very safe in the courtyard setting of the hotel since it was on a busy street. Loved the tables and Umbrellas right outside my door and the pretty garden look. Parking was very tight. When I went to my car the next morning I could barely get in the door. Cars on either sides were so close. No one would have been able to even open the passenger door
- Joseph (9/5): Good location, clean rooms, friendly staff - Convenience and cleanliness. Tight parking
- Hernandez (9/5): Loved it , only issue was small parking lots , we had a big truck and bearly fit , other than that I liked it , it was a - Locked gates Small parking
- Katarina (9/5): -
- Antti (7/5): Good price-quality ratio - Perfect location.
Bed. General condition of the room
- Andrew (9/5): - Surrounding Area deteriorating
- Estelle (7/5): Fantastic location, value for money - Location was unparalleled, less than a 5 minute walk from Santa Monica Pier. With the beach and a plethora of shops and restaurants on your doorstep, you can't fault it for the cost! Definitely more of a motel than a hotel, and the 'sea view' described on the room information is not true as you only see the sea from outside the hotel (on your tiptoes, squinting over the other buildings)
- Rogerio Aguiar (8/5): -
- Valdis (9/5): -
- Chad (8/5): Nice, clean, good location, 3 beds 5 people. Good choice. Just bring your own pillows - Location and old school beach vibe you don’t get from a giant box hotel, check in dude was hella cool. 🤙🏼 Could have used more than two flat pillows on the bed. Full size SUV parking is rough here, Very limited parking. It’s older but clean, and who comes to sit in a motel anyways
- Mike (9/5): Wir würden wieder buchen - Wir waren 1 Nacht dort , fanden es dafür top und würden es auch für mehre Tage empfehlen . Nichts
- Stephan (8/5): -
- Ella (6/5): Affordable and safe place to stay in the heart of Santa Monica - The location of this motel is phenomenal. Easily walkable to the beach and lots of restaurants nearby. The hotel could use some TLC. One of the lightbulbs in our room was burned out and the fan made a horrible noise so we could not use it at night. And with no ac in the room and the traffic outside, it got really stuffy in the room. Also, they said the second bed was a queen, which it was not.
