Sea Shore Motel - Motel in Santa Monica - 2637 Main St, USA

Such a cute motel, in a great location of Santa Monica! |Only issues we had was the noise from other rooms (hearing the upstairs neighbours, or others outside late at night), and the double beds are on the short side - make sure you book a room with queen beds. Everything clean, otherwise comfortable, and a good amount of space.

I've stayed here every Christmas for quite a few years (over a decade) and it is something I look forward to, still, to this day, every year. It is family owned and affordable lodging in an amazing location. It is a few minutes walk to the beach and lots of interesting cafes and coffee shops along Main Street. While it is nice to come out and see my family, who live in Santa Monica, during the holiday season, it is hard to beat the experience of staying at the SeaShore motel and exploring the local area. Thanks to the family ownership of this establishment for keeping such a great locally-owned lodging option open for folks - it delights me ever year!

Unfortunately, the hotel did not meet our expectations. The main building looks inviting, however, our apartment was located in the neighboring building, which is accessible via a staircase directly from the street. The apartment was unfortunately not well maintained and the floor was relatively dirty (when walking barefoot you got dark soles). We wanted to stay longer, but after one night we looked for another hotel. At least the reception was very accommodating and has completely refunded us the other nights.

I've been here twice now while vacationing in and around the LA area. It's quite nice for a motel. Good beds, decent bathroom. The only thing is the bad water pressure in the shower.

Used to be awesome familly run motel. Since covid it is missing that extra charm Sad to see the change. We used to be treated like familly. Now we are just another tourist|Miss that personal touch. was our go to palce in Santa Monica

We recently stayed for 2 nights at the Sea Shore Motel and enjoyed our stay. Highlight was definitely Akira the super star dog (Tom was ok too 😀). We had opted to stay in the economy room (#C) as we knew we only needed a bed. This was a small room but met our needs. The motel is in a great spot, could probably do with some type of renovations as the room was dated. Room C was fine for a short stay, it was clean but a little worn and surprisingly quiet. Motel has free parking which was a bonus. Cheap and good value accomodation for a short stay. We would stay again if we were visiting Santa Monica. For the Aussies Tom (manager) likes Tim Tams.

This place is nice. It's a 5 minute walk to the beach. Lots of restaurants, bars, sights and sounds to see around the area. The owners are kind, the rooms, although dated, are very charming and bring you back a couple decades. Very clean, perfectly air conditioned, nice hot water for showers. We were in a suite so we had the stove/oven, dishwasher, sink, microwave, toaster etc. We were able to ask the front desk for towels for the beach and they even offered foldable chairs if we needed. There is onsite laundry as well as paid laundry nearby which I found extremely convenient on our 2 week journey from Canada. (Only brought 7 days worth of clothes.) Liquor store within 30 second walk. Bars within 2 minute walks. I love this area and I would recommend this motel, yes, a MOTEL, to other visitors. Also, the little dog at the front desk is cute and chatty. Make sure to pet him/her.

Like many other reviewers, we found the SeaShore charming! It has a great location to the beach, Santa Monica Pier, and many restaurants and shops. We stayed two nights with no issues, thanks to Tom (the loveliest host) & Akira (the super adorable 'guard dog'). We did not experience much noise, though did hear the room above us walking about when they checked in. Not enough to keep us up at night. The shower does have plenty of hot water and great pressure. There is parking, though limited. The rooms have a mini fridge and the lobby had a microwave to use (though we were offered a room microwave which we declined). A little perspective...it is a two-star hotel in a fairly expensive area, and we couldn't be more pleased with the cleanliness, service, and hospitality. We highly recommend this gem and would definitely return.
