I will be one of the few to do five stars. The star rating has nothing to do with cleanliness. You have to look past that, as clearly it is an old facility. The rooms are old and just a little icky visually, mostly just the bathroom area. If you are a visual clean freak, then, close your eyes.
The stars are because it's an amazing location, within walking distance of the pier and anything else fun. The staff was friendly.
The rooms are "cute" and quaint. They sleep 4 with two beds. The space heater didn't really keep it warm but there were plenty of blankets to make

Older beach bungalow style hotel. Great location for a quick overnight pit stop. Decently clean room, there were a few random hairs in the sink, shower and on the shower curtain. There was no table in the room to eat so we had to use the ironing board. Make sure you get confirmation and clarification on where you room will be. Our room faced the parking lot and busy main road. The website is a little deceiving. Thin walls, you can hear your neighbors and outside. Single pane windows made it hard to sleep at night with all the cars zooming and crazies walking by at night.

My room had a sea view, it was filled with light, and it was every bit the vintage California I remember from my childhood. The staff are friendly, the bed was very comfortable, and the location can't be beat. I rented a car I barely used because the hotel is a block from restaurants, the pier, and the promenad. Your experience of this hotel will greatly depend on which room you stay in as the roadside rooms are very noisy, but I didn't experience that whatsoever. My only criticism regards the water pressure which is restricted and the temperature which changes when people use water in other rooms

The room/property falsely described itself on the app we used to book. The room was said to have a shower and a bath and did not have a bath. The website also stated the parking was available and no reservation was needed come time to check in and I was told I had to park blocks away and walk the unfamiliar and homeless populated and to me intimidating streets at night (unarmed in anyway due to flying there) due to a lack of parking spaces. I would have reconsidered this location significantly if the description was accurate. These may not be big issues for others but they were for me based of

Great location, parking wasn't available to us so plan to park a block away or more every day. While the room was designed nicely with a retro feel, it wasn't fully cleaned before our stay and we had other people's belongings and shower products left behind. The shower nozzle is also approx 5'5" so keep that in mind if you're taller. A bit disappointing for a US500 a night motel.

By far the worst place I have ever stayed in my entire life. The room was decently sized but there appeared to have been no cleaning done prior to our arrival. The floors were beyond dirty with our feet turning black and needing to be washed in the tub several times on our first day. The floor was so disgusting we resolved to wear shoes the entire time while we were inside until it was time to go to bed. The tub had grime in it and a couple dead bugs which were super appealing. One of the beds had crumbs in it which gave us the impression that the sheets were not changed in between guest changes

DO NOT BOOK HERE!! A motel is a luxury room compared to this.
My poor parents had the misfortune of staying here with lies! The rooms look nothing like the pictures. My mom came back with bites all over her legs (possible bed bugs). They had asked for a full bed and ended up with a twin bed in a small room.
The bathroom is old and dirty, can't control the hot or cold water. Parking is an extra 36 dollars a night.
The list of how horrible this place goes on! Please save yourself and book somewhere else.

First time staying at the Sea Blue and we were extremely happy here. Steps from the beach, accessible to anything you might want to eat, drink, buy, or enjoy. Front desk staff was really accommodating and true beach laid back culture attitude. Not all the amenities you would want or expect in a room this price (no micro, no coffee maker, no breakfast), but I think it's all pretty standard fare in the area at this price point. Beds were comfy, pillows and linens not great. If you are looking to spend your time luxuriating in your hotel room while in Santa Monica, I would recommend spending twice

The price is purely for the location- which is AMAZING! Super close to the Santa Monica pier. Many surrounding restaurants and places to walk around.
The hotel is very plain. There's no table inside so if you have food you have to eat it in the 1 chair in the room or on the bed. Thin walls and poor window blinds. Parking is $36/night in a super cramped parking lot out front. There's not really any street parking so you don't have much of a choice.
It's a great place to stay if you're just looking for a place to crash after a fun day around Santa Monica. Very clean and

This is not the quaint beach hotel they lead you to believe. It is a run down old motel. We would give it ZERO stars if we could. The rooms facing the street are a drag strip until 2am. The rooms look NOTHING like what's pictured (phots attached). Noise so loud the kids upstairs were crying at midnight. They have more rooms than parking spaces. Charged $36 for parking and then told when arriving back from dinner to park in a garage a 1/2 mile away. Walked back in the dark with the local homeless. The sheets were stained. The GM James makes no apologies (which is why he is running this dump

Booked a room at this hotel through AirBnB. Did not get the room that was advertised. Lobby was unwilling to assist and told us our room had smoke smell, and the alternate room was all that was available. Paid $36 for parking but after leaving and coming back, lot was oversold. We were told to park 3 blocks away in a parking garage. Woke up to walk in the morning and had a homeless person sleeping a few feet from our door. Spend the extra money for one of the larger beachside hotels in the area. Yes, the location is great, but its not worth it in the long run.

Strongly suggest you forget this hotel. Walls are paper thin and it was a party house during my stay. It was dirty, unkept and management wound not stop a party of loud rap music and people at 9pm saying they had to wait until 10pm. I'm in town on business. This is not the spot for biz types. Leaving as soon as I can.

Been struggling looking for a hotel nearby the beach and Wilshire blvd in Los Angeles, we are from Vegas and I need to fix some stuffs by Los Angeles, so I decided to check hotel prices, at first I picked one across Sea Blue hotel, and dang! The lady that I spoke to, told me they have $30+/night parking fee and I was like oh okay no thanks, I called in Sea blue hotel and they have the same parking fee, but do you know why I picked them? It is because the hotel stuff I spoke to, was really helpful, even told me I can park somewhere close thats half the price of their charge. The helpfulness of the

Check in was a breeze and the location is great.
The room was clean and had everything we needed.
There was window AC which worked well for us as both a noisemaker and an air conditioner.
The beds are clean and comfortable, and the lobby was neat.
The location is exactly what we needed just steps away from the Santa Monica Pier, the Pacific Ocean, and tons of great restaurants.
I'm giving only 4 stars because parking was difficult, not enough space in the provided lot, and the views, at least from our room room were of a parking lot and a wall.
