This property was located near the beach, which was perfect! Plenty of scooters nearby so you don’t have to worry about driving to nearby restaurants, etc or being stuck in traffic. The parking stalls are a bit tight, but other than that I would stay here again.

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.

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!
