A wonderfully renovated Inn that is conveniently located on the PCH on the edge of Manhattan and Hermosa. It’s safe, clean, comfortable, and convenient for a great price.

The onsite restaurant is currently not operational and appears to be in transition to a future restaurant. Beds and decor was outdated. Bed description didn’t match what was received. Upon check in was offered an upgraded room option for additional fees. The rooms that have been renovated appear to be really nice. Motel may be renovating portions at a time until completed. Pool was not serviced, green, and not updated in description as closed for maintenance. Nearby Target, Manhattan Village, restaurants, and beach

It's time for room updates. Outdated in many areas--bedding, carpet, television, etc. No real anemities in the room, not even the basics, i.e. an ironing board, but no iron, no coffee machine, no phone (to even contact front desk). Room smelled very stuffy and there's no ventilation system in the bathroom, hence small window had to be left open. Must allow water to run in the sink for about 2 minutes otherwise the smell of it (that of the release of air from the body after being captured for many days inside the body after a diet consisting of boiled eggs only) will not allow a human and the smell to coexist in the small space. However, front desk staff was very nice, check in process was smooth, and while anemeties were lacking, requests were quickly addressed and fulfilled. Customer service is KEY and scores big for me. We spent very little time in the room and we knew this beforehand, thus--the room, the room worked for us for our 4 day stay in the area.

Closer to the beach but not sure if it was worth the old and dirty conditions of the room. Free parking was nice but we still drove to the beach and paid to park. Zero soap or conditioner in the shower and room reeked of marijuana. We had to buy air freshener from the nearby target to kill the smell. Linens from the 1980s and the TV never connected to channels without static.

Quiet and reasonably priced.

We frequently come to the Seahorse Inn every time we come out to Hermosa Beach. It is close to the beach with easy access and parking at the Inn. They have been renovating and the renovations look real nice. I’ll have to select the upgrade in the email day off next time I visit.

Overall, it was a great location and Hotel. The ice machines were not working which made it inconvenient. We had the family room which was wonderful with 3 beds. Would have liked a fan or something in the room with 3rd bed as it got a little hot in there with only the ac out front. The bathroom was a little small for family room and took a little while for the shower water to get hot. Coffee maker in room would have been nice and microwave. but it did have a mini fridge which was great. Overall, great Hotel. The staff was amazing and very nice! Would definitely stay again!
