Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This motel was in an unsafe area of town. There were homeless people relieving themselves on the streets, and gun shot sounds in the night. Upon checking in I complained about a strong unpleasant smell in the room. The night manager said "respectfully it is your stuff". I believe it was coming from the window air conditionining unit which made it impossible for me to use the air. Additionally, there were food crumbs and nut shells in the bed. I thought they might be bed bugs but found it appeared either the sheets had not been changed or were improperly washed. Low cost but not work the hygene and physical risk.

Looking for clean safe and comfy bed...this is it!

The motel is quaint but small. It had a courtyard in the rear but my room was clean and bed was comfy. The largest gripe was noise and closeness to the road. The bathroom was really tight only one person at a time could access it. The manager/owner was nice and friendly and very accommodating however. She allowed me to use the microwave in the office since none were in my room. The rooms are very close to the parking and you could keep an eye on your vehicle, plus no stairs! It was in a great location however in Santa Monica close to the pier and Venice beach and easy access to the freeways. Overall a clean safe stay with very little creature comforts.

A really nice, quaint place. It's not super fancy, but the staff are very friendly and helpful, and our room was very nice and adequate. It's also very convenient for walking to the beach.
