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

The room and the location were great. The lack of coffee maker and microwave oven detracted. We were surprised how quiet it was as the location is on a busy street. We would stay there again. You have to reserve a parking space which we did not know booking through Expedia, however they had room for us.

It’s is exactly how it appears on the website for bookings. I would not pay extra for partial ocean view, it is a bit back from the ocean. Very clean and cute and quaint and would definitely stay here again.

Sea Blue Hotel offers a fantastic location, just a short walk to the pier and with easy access to the beach. Its proximity to excellent dining options made it very convenient for our family. The room itself was quite spacious, providing enough space for everyone to feel comfortable during our stay. However, the condition of the bathroom was disappointing. The grout in the tiles had an unpleasant mix of brown and green, giving the impression of rust or mold. It definitely needs more attention and a deep clean. Additionally, the bedcover had a visible torn hole, which detracted from the overall experience and made the room feel less well-maintained. Despite these maintenance issues, the hotel's prime location and family-friendly room size made it a decent stay, though improvements in cleanliness and upkeep would significantly enhance the experience.
