"Hi there, I've been to Santa Monica a few times and found some budget-friendly options. The Santa Monica Beach Hostel is a great choice, super close to the pier and pretty affordable (around $30/night). There's also the Venice Beach Suites & Hotel, which has dorms and private rooms (starts at $40/night). Both have a fun, laid-back vibe"

Honestly, if you’re on a budget I’d look at HI Los Angeles Santa Monica Hostel it’s super close to the beach and pretty affordable, or something like Ocean Park Hotel a bit inland but way cheaper and still decent
