This is a "hidden gem" of sorts because of its great location, affordability, friendly staff, comfortable rooms and free parking (including some covered spots). I only stayed 1 night, but because it's less than a mile to the beach I spent a lot of time at the beach, walking to some cool breweries and restaurants, and even going for a run in the area. There's such a laidback, friendly vibe in this area, and the staff matches that with their friendly service with a smile.

This gets 5 stars for what it is: an fine inexpensive hotel in an excellent area at a reasonable price. It has large clean rooms that contain comfortable beds, a sitting chair, desk, refrigerator and microwave. It's almost like having your own studio apartment. The couple that owns and runs the place are warm, alert to guest's needs and live on the premises. I would stay here again anytime. In short, this is a clean, inexpensive, conveniently located, well-run hotel.

This place is right on a major street so don’t expect tranquility - at night it’s fairly quiet but an occasional siren may wake up light sleepers. I stayed in a renovated room which was very nice with clean modern, minimalist decor and LED lighting, built in wireless charging in the nightstands and desk. But the faucet was already showing serious mineral deposits - hard water. Bed is very firm but was otherwise comfortable.

Room had most everything needed in it and was clean, but quite dated with some paint peeling. Hard to sleep: Hot, stuffy room, and A/C wall unit blasted off and on loudly all night, waking me up regularly. Even "downstairs" rooms required lugging suitcases up two small sets of stairs. Would not recommend unless you cannot afford anywhere else.

The staff was top-notch. I was struggling on how to leave this review because it’s hard to leave a proper review for the property as a whole, because depending on which room you book, it’s as if you are in two completely different hotels. It seems like they are in the middle of a remodeling project. I saw photos of the hotel on Google and booked based on those photos and then when I walked into the room, it was as if I was in a motel from 40 years ago. So then I went into the Expedia app and saw that the photos did match the subpar room that I had just walked into. So then I took a walk around the block and considered if I have to just suck it up and accept it because my time was limited or if I complain. So I went to the front desk and they said that I had booked a standard room and that an upgraded room would be an additional $30 a night which altogether came to an additional 60 or 70 bucks. When they showed me the upgraded room, it was as if I was in a completely different hotel. It was jarring how much better than my original room this new upgraded room was. So I decided to pay the extra and take the remodeled room. The rest of the day was good. The cost was probably reasonable? And I get it, if you’re in the middle of a remodeling project, some of the rooms are gonna be upgraded. But the quality difference between these two rooms was comical. Anyway, the staff was great. If I knew I was gonna pay the extra amount I would’ve probably chose in a different hotel

This place is really nice and convenient lots of food options and supermarket close by with the greatest guava pastries and a sushi place in a mile walk to Manhattan Beach. It could do with a bit of a facelift for some rooms and the pool area but that’s happening in the future apparently

Staff was kind and attentive. Room, while a bit dated, was clean and comfortable. I slept in earplugs, because it's on a busy road, and there was construction across the street, but it was fine. I really appreciated the parking and being walking distance to multiple restaurants and, most importantly, the beach. A short drive to Trader Joe's and has a fridge and microwave in the room. I would definitely come back here. It's a great part of Manhattan Beach.
