As far as motels go, it is great. Nice surprise was free use of electric bikes. I did not check about air conditioning before I booked. They don't have AC but they have fans.
For all the money it would have been nice to have a fridge or even a microwave in room but that’s my only complaint. It was a lovely room and close to everything.
We loved everything about this place! From the staff members Enrique who was outstanding and went above and beyond! Rosa, Sindy, and Laura who always worked so hard everyday! Along with all the other staff! You were all AMAZING!! Would come back in a heartbeat! The bikes were an added bonus we looked forward to riding every day! Thank you all for an amazing time!!
ADORABLE, pet friendly, intimate boutique hotel centrally located in Santa Monica! We found the team at SMH to be welcoming and accommodating! We were very fortunate to discover this mini oasis when we needed a last minute room, and couldn’t have been happier! SMH is in a great location, we could walk our pups around the block & were close to everything! We really appreciated being able to park (free!) right outside ur room as well.
Good place to stay for the night. Clean, easy parking, Mel’s Dinner was 4 blocks away. Staff was helpful, mattress was great and short drive to beach. Not fancy but comfortable.
