We were happy with the accommodations. Parking was not the greatest experience. The parking lot is very small, and larger vehicles cannot park there.

Simple Room to Take in the Town
Perfect location, Clean and simple with most basic amenities you need. We walked the pier, went to a beautiful restaurant on the way back, got drinks next door to the hotel, got coffee in the morning down the street before check out (coffee also provided but we did not have). There is a park next door with great views. Even ran to target for a last minute item. Rooms are small and there is not any room services. parking is paid and is a bit tricky for new drivers but not as bad as it seems. Also its a touristy area but you can't blame the hotel for that.

Great location for Santa Monica Pier. Check in was simple, the service was quick and friendly . Housekeeping was friendly. Room was clean: we would stay again. It was a little noisy on the street I. Saturday night with cars driving by but it wasn’t really bothersome. We loved the nostalgic feel of the motel. The Backyard next door was great with fast friendly service Bruno’s had great Italian across the street.

The property was great and well maintained. It was close to the pier and was only a 15 minute drive to the Getty Villas museum .

It was a lot of fun (and very convenient to the Santa Monica Pier/Beach and downtown Santa Monica) to stay at the Ocean Lodge. The check in was quick, friendly and easy. The housekeeping staff did a fantastic job of cleaning the room and making the bed every day. I felt very safe with the lighting and card key system. The fact the this property is where the fictional attorney played by Billy Bob Thornton in “Goliath” lives just added to the fun. Having the iconic Chez Jay bar next door was also a hoot. There are some street people in the area because of the large park behind the property, but I never had an issue when I walked through the park to get an Uber in front of the Santa Monica City Hall (on the other side of the park). I highly recommend Ocean Lodge for a stay in Santa Monica. Good value!
