It’s a beautiful facility. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The service was excellent! I really enjoyed the hostess reception with wine and cheese. The breakfast room, and the living room are absolutely beautiful! Sitting next to the wetland reserve was very peaceful even with the noise of the occasional plane flying overhead. The location is wonderful. Great restaurants close by and a short walk to the beach is a definite plus. The building is showing a bit of wear and tear. There is some damage from vacuuming. A few bits of drywall were broken around a support pole in room 309. I could see dark spots along the window seat where the vacuum cleaner had been dragged across the baseboard. Paint is peeling off the bathroom door. Stains on the carpet. A lot of the double pane windows have broken seals, which means they’re foggy in between the two panes of glass making them look dirty. One of the windows had some serious damage to the wood frame. New carpet and fresh paint would do wonderful things to that room. Replacing the windows would be a great expense, but money well spent. The door between the sinks in the bathroom and the toilet/shower section is too big. It hits the bathtub and does not open fully. I left a suggestion with one of their associates that a bifold door may be a solution. The room was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. Another plus is that the water was hot in the shower. I will be back. I would be very happy to enjoy their hospitality again. Everyone who works here is...
Read moreThe Inn at Playa del Rey is lovely place to stay that is about 10 minutes from LAX. We recently stayed at the Inn for several nights. Check-in was a breeze, and the folks on staff were fabulous—friendly, helpful, professional!!! The guest rooms (we had 2 different stays, so 2 different rooms) were clean and roomy. The first room faced a main street, so it was noisy in the morning as the commuters made their way into the city. It also had a mattress that was firmer than we prefer. The second room was set back further from the street, so the noise level was much less apparent. Mattress was a bit softer, so better for us. The shared areas are spacious and comfortably furnished. The Inn overlooks a marsh and is truly a beautiful setting. Breakfast was varied with a soufflé and a fresh baked item every morning as well as yogurt, granola, fresh fruit, and some cereals. The coffee is good and plentiful. The nightly wine and cheese reception is a wonderful bonus which we are able to enjoy several nights during our stay. The location is fabulous—so close to the airport with easy access all the sights of LA, Venice Beach, Santa Monica. A quick walk to the beach and some nice local spots to eat and get cocktails. We would stay here again next time we’re...
Read moreThis place (and Playa del Rey) is such a hidden gem! I lived in LA for 10 years and it's strange trying to find a hotel in your former home city, but this was an absolutely perfect, homey place to stay. It's super close to the airport, but a million times better than an airport hotel. I was recently in LA for work and wanted to extend my trip by a day without spending a fortune, and this was perfect. The room was clean and cozy, but the best part of the hotel by far is the beautiful sitting room/dining room. The breakfast was awesome, and the hotel staff let me hang out all day working even after I checked out. The sitting room was quiet with great wifi and views, and really the perfect place to spend a day, if you have to spend a day working. The staff went above and beyond and even brought me cookies and a drink while I was working :-) Playa is small, but it's a quick (~10 minute) walk to the beach path where I felt perfectly comfortable walking in the morning as a solo female, and there's a handful of walkable places to eat and get coffee (don't miss Playa Provisions!), and a small convenience store around the corner. I will absolutely be back the next...
