No beach view although it was 15 mins walk to the beach.
However, the plus point is that the pier is about 18 mins walking distance from the hotel.
Great amenities!
The staff is great and the place is clean. The beds aren’t super comfortable but I’d rather have it clean. Thank you so much for the card when I arrived!
The hotel was adorable and affordable! It was very clean and the staff was very friendly!
The only negative is that they don’t have AC so the room got uncomfortable at night . They do provide extra fans though.
We really enjoyed staying at Santa Monica Hotel. The staff were really friendly and helpful. There was really only one downside - the room was pretty warm and there seemed to be no A/C. Overall, it was a good value for the area and a lovely walk down to the beach.
Here’s a grammatically improved version of your text:
“Very nice and clean hotel. Within walking distance of many restaurants, and just a 15-minute walk to the beach and Urth Caffé. There’s an absolute gem nearby — the Italian restaurant Piccolo.”
Let me know if you’d like it to sound more formal, casual, or tailored for a review site.
Such a cute little place to lay your head. It was pretty quiet, beds were super comfy & it had a nice vibe. Easy access to beach on foot, or a quick uber ride. We’d definitely stay again.

Room was very small for four people. Good location and parking availability was a plus.
