Sea Blue Hotel

Ideal location litteraly next to the beach.

Nothing.

Decor and location

Great location hotel and friendly staff, very clean.

I liked the very friendly staff. The location was great, easy walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and 3rd Street Promenade. The room had a beachy feel, not like a hotel you would stay in up north where I live, far from any beaches. The 2 separate rooms were nice. The office had free tea/coffee/beach towels (to borrow) and nutrigrain bars. House keeping was very helpful, as well as office staff.

The house keepers were so friendly and helpful. If I needed anything they were quick to accommodate. The room was overall clean but the floors were a dark tile and desperately needed to be mopped. I wouldn't recommend walking around in bare feet if you like clean feet. There was a large booger on one of the headboards and some stuff on the ceiling. I think just a little more deep cleaning would make it more comfortable :) If you dont like noise from the road or other people then you may want to get a room in a larger hotel where your room is up higher and away from the road and pedestrians. This didnt bother me but I dont sleep in, otherwise this would have been an annoyance. Also, you get noise from the room above. FYI - there is no microwave. There aren't any beach views from room.

Beds are comfortable, but units get a little warm in the night time. Nothing that turning on the ceiling fans or opening windows won’t fix. This is our 3rd time staying here and the staff is always extremely courteous and friendly. 5 minute walk to the Santa Monica Pier is the biggest draw.

Extremely limited parking (8 during day, 12 at night) that is not guaranteed even with a reservation. We were lucky and managed to secure a spot as we were unloading luggage. $36 a night for parking is no joke.

Terrific location. Friendly staff. Good check in and check out. Room was big and clean. Good bed linens and decent towels. Very comfortable beds.
