On Santa Monica's busy Main Street, the Sea Shore is a charming throwback to Route 66 and to '60s-style, family-run roadside motels and is surrounded by an ultratrendy neighborhood. Just two blocks from a popular beach and bike path, it features rooms with tile floors, quadruple-pane airport windows, and basic amenities. The rooftop sundeck is a prime spot come sunset, and Amelia's, the motel's sidewalk café, is popular with locals. Santa Monica's Big Blue Bus line passes out front. This hotel is popular in summer: book early.
