Bayside Hotel at 2001 Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica, California.

Could not get a better room for the price! 5 minute walk and your are at the Santa Monica pier or 3rd street shops. Could see the ocean and beach from our window! Definitely would recommend if you are on a budget but want great views and want to be close to Santa Monica beach!

This is, without a doubt, the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.

The duvet cover was stained with... something. I rather sleep in my car than stay here ever again. I then proceeded to ask for another duvet. Most hotels can do this, but apparently, they do not have any spare duvets. They did, however, have another cover, which was also stained. They handed us the duvet cover and said they can not come up to change it. Strange.

What takes things to a whole new level, is that the night manager said he would discount our stay. How kind we thought until we asked him whether or not it would be credited back to our card. The manager then said that he was not able to do anything about the charge after we booked the room.

I would highly suggest everyone avoid a hotel that has dirty linens and a staff that will lie to their guests.

The only convenient thing about this hotel is the location to the beach.
