This is a nice enough stay, but is in need of some updating and upkeep for it to be impressive. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I'd stay here again...but my wife would just as soon have us find something nicer.

I'm going to try for as unbiased and objective of a review as I can: Palm Motel is a good place to stay, for the money. It has a colorful, eclectic appearance. Plants line the driveway. Seems safe and clean. There's nothing fancy about it- no A/C, no coffee machine, no microwave. I think there was only one available outlet in the room, so you might have to get creative if you have multiple devices to charge at once. The beds are also a bit too firm. However, the place is clean and the staff seems pretty nice. The owner has obviously tried hard to take a really old motel and turn it into a pleasant place to stay. I think it's still a work in progress. If none of the above things bother you and you're on a budget, then this might be a really good way for you to stay in Santa Monica.

Loved it. So quaint. Easy access. Thinking when it gets later in the summer AC would be needed.
