Nice little hotel in a great Santa Monica location. The staff is friendly and helpful. Note that they have limited parking. My only complaint is that the rooms are outdated. The outside of the hotel makes you think "boutique hotel", the rooms remind you of a motel.

This is a great spot. Hotel was clean and well maintained with cute decor and nice bedding, but clearly quite old. The bathroom was clean and good except very small, shower stall especially. But I highly recommend as a great value and so close to everything. Staff very nice and responsive when a fuse blew and tv went out one evening

I liked that the room was very clean and everything in the room worked. The sink and toilet looked relatively new. The shower was older but clean. The bed was very comfortable. I would describe the place as quaint, older but well kept. The location near the pier was excellent. Staff was very pleasant. Two things didn't meet my expectations. The room was smaller than I expected. Our room was upstairs on the street side. Other guests walked inches from our windows so I didn't want to keep blinds open which felt a little restrictive. There were also pictures of outdoor seating and red umbrellas on the website. I saw that area on another side of the building as I drove away after the stay and wondered if that seating was for individual rooms or for anyone. I may have missed that information on the website or at check in.

Cute and clean room with plenty of luggage and counter space. We arrived late and they didn’t have enough parking so we had to park off site. Arrive early to avoid that.

Sea blue is close to the beach and to downtown Santa Monica and many restaurants, so it is convenient in that regard. There is parking on the premises at $29/night, which is the going rate in that area. There is coffee and tea available in the lobby, which we used in the morning. The property has a little patio with some tables, but we did not get to use them due to the heavy fog on the days when we there. The unit we had (#21) had two beds (to sleep 3 people) but only a single chair and no table. There was an area outside the bathroom that looks like it used to be a kitchen area, which had a safe, an ironing board, and a mini-fridge, as well as an area for clothes. One could leave some items there, but not sit. Luckily we did not spend too much time in our room, but when we did in the late afternoon before, or after dinner, it would have been nice not to just have the bed available to sit. Heating consisted of a little fan, since the gas heater that is on the wall is disconnected, but still has the thermostat on the wall. The front desk staff (4 different people during our stay were a mix of very friendly and helpful versus minimal conversation and information. One of the night people was very helpful - he called when there ere packages delivered that showed my first name (but no last name). Turned out they were not mine, but I appreciated that he went through the effort of finding the only person at the hotel with that first name on that date and then contacted me.

Perfect little beach spot. Walkable to the beach, the pier, the park, and all of the local dining and shopping. It’s an older building, so expectations should be managed
