Santa Monica Pico Boulevard Travelodge

For our needs, this hotel was just fine. No frills but continental breakfast and friendly staff. Parking was free.

We arrived and checked in. The desk clerk keyed the room with the plastic cards. We drove to the parking area by the room and parked. There were several men in the parking lot. As I got out of the car one approached me and said here these are your keys and took the ones I had. My husband and I then returned to the office and the clerk was not aware of the man offering new keys. Then she got the manager. I told him this was a safety issue and we were not staying the night. He only tried to convince me to stay. He did not check out the men in the parking lot nor did he call the police. My husband and I left without a refund. ...read more

Granite (or at least granite looking) counter top in room and reception area. Friendly welcome even though we came in after midnight. They let us have a parking space that was marked reserved, because we felt it was safer than parking on the streets. Had all the amenities that we could ask for. I would stay there again. ...read more

Hotel was about 3.5 miles from my weekend destination. I would recommend it for the part of Santa Monica it was in. Parking was tight, but available. Clean, friendly professional staff. I was pleasantly surprised for a Travelodge. I normally steer clear of Travelodge motels. This was an exception. Worked fine. ...read more
