Ocean Lodge Santa Monica Beach Hotel

The location is fantastic and the room was perfect a one night stay for our family of 5. Parking, although at an additional (we were aware of this) was super convenient and outside our door. Ideal location for Santa Monica pier. Staff were great. There are curtains but the rooms at the back on the ground floor are slightly exposed / viewable from outside. We requested a ground floor however.

Safety box was broken no hairdryer it was clean on general

The location can’t be beat! It was such a quaint retro California vibe. My family loved it. Would definitely stay here again! Nothing! Parking was tight but we were right in front of our room.

Muy limpia

Very close to Pier and walking distance for food. Beds a bit hard. Noisy at night.

We actually didn't get to stay here for our schedules stay due to Expedia not booking this correctly for us. So when we arrived they did not have a room for my family, even though I booked months out. The staff here was nothing but amazing. Sherry from the front office was on the phone with multiple people trying to resolve this for us. We are sad we didn't stay because she was supportive of our needs and tried so hard to find a place to stay, even though everything was booked out. If they treat people who don't even stay there with respect like this, I'd recommend staying here. Expedia is another answer and hoping this doesn't happen to anyone else because it is not fun

We had to get this hotel last minute and I am a review reader and only had a few days to review and book. I am so glad I booked Ocean Lodge. The staff was super friendly from the front desk person to the cleaning person to the maintenance/landscape person. They said hello every time you walked by them. Check-in was super easy and everything was explained clearly. They had coffee and tea every day and snacks such as cookies but the office had to be open but that wasn’t a problem because I drink coffee in the morning. They also had an ice machine and a water machine outside of the office. Their place is secure with locking gates at every entrance to floors so we felt safe. The rooms were great!! The beds were comfortable, the shower was hot and great pressure and they freshened up the room and provided clean towels and wash cloths every day! The parking was small and $38.99 a day, but we used the parking lot next door and the parking meters. We did have a hard time finding parking some nights because of the restaurant next door but it’s public parking and not their fault. The location is amazing!! A block and half from the pier and the beach and the walk to the beach was easy and there was no walking traffic slowing us down to the water!! I one thousand percent recommend Ocean Lodge for your stay in Santa Monica!

The location was great. Very central to everything. The shower was disappointing and the parking was extremely tight.

Staff not always available

Loved the Fire Pit

Thank you for everything. Everything was perfect.

Loved the cleanliness, cutest decor, and location to the pier. Perk having a choice of snacks and coffee at departure along with car parked so close to room! Very friendly staff! Na

Perfect position, staff very professional and helpful, I liked the "old fashion motel" style, but absolutely TOO EXPENSIVE for what was offered. Too expensive. At a price like that I expected at least a modern bathroom, instead with an old bath tub and a really ugly shower, a moquette with a lot of stains, no breakfast, parking very expensive.

Was nice location The parking ,

Superb

Only the location was good . The price was so high for such a average motel.

Great folks at the front desk who were very helpful throughout our stay at this iconic motel.

The only negative was the parking. No good spot for a large vehicle. To be fair, I’m not the best at parking, so I’m sure it would be ok for most people.

Location, very clean, comfortable bed. The only negative was the parking. No good spot for a large vehicle. To be fair, I’m not the best at parking, so I’m sure it would be ok for most people.

The location to the pier was perfect. Lovely staff, and they were willing to work with you on parking. Highly recommend. None
