Location is great. But everything goes downhill from there; the room had no amenities, is very dated, not clean, the window blinds were ill-fitted and offered little privacy. The bed was a full size (small for 2 people), but was comfortable, at least. We shall not be back.

Great Little Trip for a Family!
Very nice experience. Literally walking distance to the beach and pier. I booked the family room which literally was like a nice little 1 bedroom apartment. It's an older building... do not expect 5 start hotel service. I loved it. Parking was no issue for me as well.

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.

great location
walking distance to the beach, pier and shopping. nice spacious and clean rooms. microwave and coffee maker addition to the rooms would be nice.. they are in lobby, but one in the room would be super convenient. parking is separate at $29/day but worth it, given you can pretty much walk to everywhere else.
