Bayside Hotel

Amazing location, steps from the beach, and a great view of the ocean from the hotel. Santa Monica peer was just a short walk. Lots of restaurants in the area. It’s a short bike ride or a cheap Uber to the busier Venice beach. Our room was nice and modern. Very nice bathroom and shower. Everything was spotlessly clean. Keurig and pods in the room. Cable tv. Extra pillows on the bed. Beach towels included. Ample closet space to unpack our things. Bike rentals available. Front desk man was very friendly and helpful. Gave us an early check-in, as we arrived on an early flight. Held our luggage for us when we were leaving on a late flight. The area around the hotel was nice. We felt safe there. And access to the rooms and parking was gated with a swipe of the hotel room key. We felt like it was very good value compared to other nice hotels in the area. And it was in the best part of LA, the west side near the beaches.

Would say this is a 'typical' beach hotel, across from the pacific ocean beach. No nonsense room, very clean, very comfortable bed, nice shower, and good coffee maker. Small fridge contains soft drinks, a small bottle of water and wine are offered as welcome' gesture. Really generous with checkin/checkout times, could leave luggage for several hours. Nearby are over half a dozen bus stops for Santa Monica and Metro busses, making many areas of Los Angeles accessible by bus - clean and comfortable.

Room size, Comfy Bed and Location.

Loved the location, so easy to get to everything we wanted. Bike hire is fantastic, there are also towels, chairs and umbrellas you can take to the beach. Bed was comfy and there is a small table outside the room which is nice to sit at and look at the world go by with the beautiful beach in the background.

The room was great: Very spacious room with a cute dining area and close to the beach. I would stay here again. There are 2 options for parking your car. You can park in the hotel lot for a flat fee or pay for metered parking which is super close and cheaper.
