Summary: The room featured a clean, well-maintained shower and bathtub. The locked gate at the street entrance added an extra layer of security, which I appreciated.
The motel is within walking distance of the beach. Although the building is older, it has been nicely renovated and felt very secure. I felt completely safe during my stay—the rooms were quiet, and we were not disturbed by our neighbors.
I especially enjoyed the spacious room, which included a bath, two queen beds, an armoire with a television, a dining table, and a refrigerator. The manager was very accommodating and even provided a microwave upon request, which made our stay feel even more comfortable. I also noticed extensive security camera coverage throughout the property.
Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend the Seashore Motel to anyone looking for a place to stay in Santa Monica.

Summary: My daughter and I visted for her birthday and it was a fun trip. Its actually a great little spot. Can be noisy with the "frat" like parties across the street, but the noise did not bother us however it did give us some great entertainment.

Summary: We were able to upgrade to a bigger suite for a small fee and were blown away by how spacious the small apartment was: a bedroom with 2 queen beds, full kitchen, dining room, and living room with a massive sectional sleeper sofa, and a lovely, peaceful patio. High ceilings made it feel even bigger. Staff was super friendly and had boogie boards, beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas on hand to lend. Just a couple blocks to a great beach and all kinds of food and entertainment.

Summary: This is a great motel in a very convenient spot if traveling to Santa Monica. It is old, and you can tell that, but it is well maintained and almost nostalgic in appearance. Nestled into a “nook” on Main Street makes this a perfect place if you are just stopping for a night, or staying for a few. The location is close to a few good eateries, right next to a coffee shop, and just a few blocks to the beach. The pier is also a short walk away. Rooms were clean; the age show here as there is a general musty smell, not dirty, just reminded me of a “vintage” closet. We had a suite, it was perfect for us - traveling with two teenage boys this allowed for one to have a pull out couch rather than stuffing them both into a shared queen. The kitchen was stocked with adequate supplies to include a full coffee pot, though that was on its last leg because the burner was literally burnt to a crisp and flaking off (definitely needs to be swapped out). Pillows and towels is where this place falls short. If you like a fluffy pillow and a fluffy towel this is not your motel. The pillows are flat foam rubber, which is extremely uncomfortable. Towels and washcloths are very thin, but still did the job. Overall, this is about a two star motel, but convenience, location, overall cleanliness, and nostalgic charm gives it at a 4-star on hotels.com. I would 100% stay here again without a doubt, and definitely recommend it for anyone traveling through the area.

Summary: Great 1960’s SoCal beachy motel. All the necessary amenities. Very clean. New, double-glazed windows kept the room quiet. Very affordable. Close, delicious food of all kinds.

Summary: Here for just a brief stay for AIDS Lifecycle but glad we found this amazing little place! Very cool beach vibe just outside of old downtown, very walkable and an incredible bakery in front. Will come back!
