Rest Haven Motel is a charming, cozy, and affordable place in the heart of Santa Monica. It is not a five-star hotel or an Airbnb setup, but a simple, cheap, and old-fashioned little motel that provides a roof and a place to wash up. The location is great, quiet, and tucked behind the main street, yet close to restaurants, the beach, the pier, and other amenities. The staff is very friendly, kind, accommodating, and helpful. The motel features a small, neat, and nicely cared for locked inner courtyard garden, offering a sense of privacy and safety. Rooms are clean, neat, small, and simple with no weird odors. Some rooms face the courtyard, others face across an alley or a residential street. The area is generally peaceful, though noise from connected units can be heard. It is a place to sleep comfortably and safely while saving money.
I think ALL hotels for the most part are pretty expensive but I guess it's the location. This is a very charming and cozy place. Nice to snuggle up to your favorite 🧸 and REST!

We were greeted warmly upon our arrival, and had an early check in even though we didn't inform the property ahead of time. There is a small and neat garden we all loved. The room was clean and neat. It was quiet during the night. Food places and the beach are walking distance. We are really happy with our stay.
