As other reviews have stated, the location really makes the Bayside Hotel. It's right across from the beach and park it was also well located to some great shopping and cafe areas (Santa Monica Place and Main St are all within walking distance). The bikes at the hotel are priced reasonably and offer a fun way to see Venice Beach.... More

Got to St. Monica with no reservation, looked around for a moderate priced hotel, we found it. Location is perfect just on the shore, we loved the all white room. And provided us wifi service. The staff was friendly and the check out was easy. parking space available for a fee.

Perfectly located, clean and comfortable. Yes some things could use improvement like updating the bathrooms but if you are satisfied with a clean comfortable place at a good price...this is it! The beds are super comfy and have duvets. There is a fridge stocked with drinks at a cost and a basket filled with snacks also at a cost. Coffee... More

We stayed for a single evening at the Bayside Hotel in April 2013. The hotel is located very close to the beach however the majority of the rooms actually face inwards to the back of an apartment block so you do not get a chance to take advantage of the view from your room. The rooms themselves were very and... More

We had a great stay. The hotel in located in front of Santa Monica Beach and walking distance to the Promenade and various cafés and design stores at Main St. The service is basic, there is no breakfast, and the reception is basic too, but the room is comfortable and clean. If you are looking for a hotel under USD... More

This hotel was just up re hill from the beach (min walk) amazing views .. Walking distance to the shops and night life (about a 7-10 min walk ish) perfectly fine in the day light a little sketchy at night but the actual hotel is not sketchy at all. One thing to mention is the shower head is extremely low... More

We spent the last night night of a 3 week US holiday at the Bayside. We loved the hotel and certainly had no intention of paying the exorbitant rates on most of the other Santa Monica beachside hotels. Sure the hotel is of an older style but being just one street back from the beach is a major plus and... More

We booked with this hotel due to it's pets allowance. (we have 2 dogs) We ended up leaving our dogs at a friends place in Santa Monica, and stayed here anyway. We found it to be very inviting.

Stayed here this week, got a room with 2 doubles, maybe a better word is closet with 2 doubles. Really nothing good to say about the check in, no personality, really wasn't helpful by any means. Extremely small rooms, I don't know the square footage but I'd put it at 180 sf. Not a place for 2 people to stay,... More
