Sea Shore Motel

2.5 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (1002)
"The location can’t be beat! I was able to walk the few blocks to the
beach
first thing each morning. So many coffee and breakfast places so close. Walked to Venice
beach
in no time one day and the next day walked to Santa Monica Pier. I was able to get to everywhere I wanted to go easily. Plus, it was easier than I thought it would be to drive to Berely Hills and the Lakers game. The staff was so nice and welcoming. I will definitely be staying at the
Sea
Shore again when I visit LA!"

"A great Hotel in Santa Monica where hotels nearby can run $400 a night. I chose this hotel a few blocks north of the ocean and saved a lot. I have stayed at a hotel in Santa Monica next to the ocean and to be honest the Gateway room was just as nice as the hotel that cost $200 more. It’s just as convenient to restaurants as the other place. I have found my new Santa Monica hotel."
