It’s a great location and a decent motel. But parking is very challenging even with a pass. Overall, I’d consider staying here again - clean and friendly.

The Property was right next to the Santa Monica Pier, tons of shopping and restaurants! The room was clean and comfortable for a small family Parking was the only drawback! We had to park down the street in a parking garage for $20. The hotel charged more, and we were willing to pay it, but they were out of parking spots!
