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.

It’s an old building, but the maintenance is good. Hotel management is good. I felt like home. People work there are nice and easy to negotiate. It’s close to the Santa Monica pier, a convenient area.
