Good

This area is very nice, we decided to walk to dinner both nights and felt very safe doing so. Rooms were absolutely huge. We booked the family suite which was two full rooms and two full bathrooms. So nice with 5 people to not share a bathroom! My only suggestions for improvement: 1. Do not charge your guests for parking. There is nowhere to park but the garage, and charging an extra 10 dollars a night seems very cheap and leaves a bad taste for everyone. 2. Breakfast was nothing but carbs, so we had to spend about 150+ more on our trip to eat breakfast at a restaurant. Might have been better off booking a hotel that was more expensive but had healthier breakfast options.
Overall, we would absolutely stay here again and suggest it for other families. It was also bargain pricing compared to hotels in the area.
Great place to stay and close to downtown manhattan beach! Super chill and no problems during my 6 day stay. The only reason it wasn’t a 5 was because the breakfast was limited to fruit-cereal-and waffles

This place is a little gem walking distance from the Manhattan Beach pier. Overnight parking is only $10! Breakfast included. Comfortable and convenient.

Disliked: Room comfort
Overall was average maybe even good considering low price paid. But you could feel and hear the metal under the matress so didnt sleep well and my back and neck hurt following day. Didnt fet the extra towel requested from front desk after check in. Staff and guests friendly and did have the continental breakfast included. But you pay 10.00 per day for parking
They charged me a $100.00 deposit and refunded me only $50.00. I called the hotel and they told me the sheets were dirty and they kept $50.00 for cleaning. I stayed there only one night and the sheets were not dirty. Though, the hotel itself is a smelly filthy dump.

Buena ubicacion y limpio. Pero te cobran por el estacionamiento, si eres cliente debería cibrirlo. El desayuno era muy temprano a las 9 am cierran la cafetería

Disliked: Cleanliness
Was very close to beach, loved that. Easy to find. Plenty of parking. Big rooms .
Did not like:
No housekeeping for 5 day's. I complained twice before someone came to clean the room.
The toilet is too short, very hard to get up from
The hotel is in a prime location with lots of options for shopping, dining, and coffee within walking distance. The hotel offers breakfast and parking at a fee. The room comes with a fridge and the microwave is near the lobby. The rooms are spacious enough. The mattress on the bed is more on the firm side, but be aware of the bed frame/box. If your foot or toes slam into the edges of the frame, your soul will be frightened to the high heavens where the thunderous sound should be coming from. Overall, had a great time!
