    From check-in to check out we were very happy with this stay. Very helpful at check-in for what was around and also personally showed us to the room. The room was awesome and was a great choice for our 2 day stay. They also have beach items to use as the walk to the beach is 5 minutes or so. The deck overlooking the busy street was actually nice for juice and coffee in the mornings. We will stay here again when we return to LA for events, or just going to the beach!

    What a great motel, so clean and accommodating to all our needs. The location was perfect for access to Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach. The best part was the hotel mascot Akiera. She made our day!

    Very close to the beach, shops, restaurants, and was clean. Had an old school vibe with great character.

    We didn’t stay long. It was only for a nights sleep, but both interactions with checking in and checking out were easy and the two guys were friendly. Great location. It’s right on one of the main strips so if you need quiet at night, do not stay here. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Parking was very snug but safe.

    Lovely staff. We got a roomy 1 bedroom apartment and felt very safe and comfortable. Walking distance to everywhere.

    The staff was so wonderful! Very quaint and charming property with amazing parking. Super close to the beach and they provide beach equipment you can borrow. My group and I had a great time staying here for our spring break!

    Big room! What I loved about Sea Shore was the check in staff. So helpful to us!!! Location was close to the beach and excellent for our stay.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Great location but very old property. No amenity selection in rooms so brig. Your own lotion, shampoo, etc. Mattress and pillows were terrible. Can’t say we will ever book here again. The adjoining coffee shop was fantastic!!

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Nothing I would improve on. Clean, great staff, on site free parking, AC, fan, fridge, wifi, beach equipment, two blocks from the beach and many restaurants. We had room 7…great!

    For the price paid it was a very nice hotel. It is very dated and the A/C unit was loud. We were on the first floor and it was surprisingly quiet. The bed was very comfortable but the pillow cases were old and yellowed. We had our own pillows so it was fine. The sheets were clean but not soft. It was a nice location and close walk to the beach and about 20 minutes to the Santa Monica pier. I would stay there again but hope they do some minor upgrades.
