Palm Motel, Santa Monica CA

Spacious, neat rooms with shower and toilet. Ideal for 1 or 2 overnight stays. No air conditioning, but a fan. It wasn't too hot, so fine. Own parking spaces and a friendly man at the reception. Behind a gas station where you can get coffee.

You cannot beat the price in the Santa Monica area. Nice staff clean and safe parking included This place is older but cute. Greek style bungalows with outdoor seating 14 blocks from the beach. Would stay here again

Very nice older motel looks like it's right out of an old 40's movie Very clean I will most certainly be going back there again the owner and his baseball loving manager and staff are so nice the rooms with two beds that have another room would be better if they had a TV and a fan in them but it's still a great place to stay I can't wait to go back again

One of my booking mistakes on this road trip through the western US. Taxes and fees added the cost to $169 per night for a really poor motel. In the middle of the night, the compressor in the neighboring tire workshop probably started up. The bathroom could only be described as sad. Only the pleasing exterior painting of the building and the colorful national flags saved you from depression. The operator should either start renovating the bathrooms or drop the prices down to $50, that's all it's worth to stay here. If this review was useful or even helpful, I would be happy about a thumbs up.

Found this little gem looking for dog friendly motels near the beach.
If you want a “cookie cutter” room with standard features, this might not be for you…We wanted a classic beach area rental and loved it!
It felt like an old Route 66 motor inn! …reasonable price, clean & safe, absolutely…plus lots of charm & local flavor…adorable bungalow style…each with a table & chairs outside! So much fun! What more could you want? ! By the way…. The owner is wonderful, friendly & helpful…and, your dogs are welcome! Pennie & Joe say paws up for Palm Motel

We had to stay here for only one night thank goodness. We were here for a funeral so we needed something convenient.

No heat in the room and the bathroom had hair that was not ours.
I tried to call front office about the heat and no one answered.
The beds were hard and made lots of noise, pillows were awful and it was difficult to sleep.

I would pay more money to stay somewhere more comfortable.

Best place that is affordable and very scenic. Lovely staff and always a great night of rest.

Stayed off season. Owner was kind and very helpful.
Rooms lil dated but clean.
Was cold when there and heater set of smoke detector. Then chirped until I removed. Came back to room around 11: 30 after been continuously raining to a roof leak that flooded most bathroom floor. Needless to say overnight stay was not a good one.
Rooms are good location serve purpose.
Unfortunately being off season owner not on premises as much so unable to discuss experience. Neither would happen in typical vacation season, not much rain and no need for heat
