I brought my Mom to Santa Monica on a Mother/Daughter trip, and we highly enjoyed our stay in Room 5. The staff at Patrick's Roadhouse were all so pleasant and friendly - not to mention EVERYTHING on the menu was delicious and the $15 pp food voucher each day was nice! Other than the beach, there is not much to do in the neighborhood, but you can catch the #9 bus (1 block away) to go into Downtown Santa Monica. We paid for the $4 all day bus pass or you can catch a Lift or Uber for a about $25 to Hollywood or other areas of LA.
The ONLY draw backs to this place were the mattress and the highway noise at night. The mattress was uncomfortable as you could feel the springs digging into your back, and the Pacific Coast Highway is located directly in front of the property so you can hear motorcycles, buses and cars zooming by ALL night. We used our portable speaker to play music all night to help drowned out the noises and were able to sleep better.
Overall, I would recommend this place and would stay here again if ever in Santa Monica area!
