Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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!

It was cute but basic and very nice and clean. The only slight discomfort was the sheets felt a little scratchy but i honestly think it was because they were either very new or starched. The location was great staff was very nice. I would definitely stay there again.

Cheaper for the area but run down.
This is a very old “Motel 6” type of place with tight squeezes barely any parking. The rooms are renovated just enough to say they are but the heat pump/ac wasn’t working well, they did not have ANY accommodation for ADA as we asked for a shower chair and they had none, the lights didn’t all work, sink backed up with just water and the closet was smelly. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Not worth the price we paid. I guess location dictated a premium 5 star price but we got cheap run-down motel 6 amenities.

Rooms are small. No kitchen, no microwave, not even coffee machine. At least there was one in the office, which was closed half of the time. Parking is limited and very tight. Park in the back of the building is full of homeless people and junkies, just as the other areas of the city. Not safe area. Someone was knocking on all doors on first floor rooms at 3 am. Anyway.. considering its the cheapest hotel in the area and its almost on the beach its probably worth it to stay there. Property is clean, rooms nice and clean and has daily service.
