Sea Rock Inn - Los Angeles — Hotel in Los Angeles

If you're scouring reviews looking for a good place to stay, I'm writing this review for you. Overall great place. The room is good looking. Kind workers and for some reason I didn't have to pay a security deposit. Everything was clean. Shampoo, soap, an iron and board, microwave, fridge, and a hair dryer are provided. There's an extension under the TV that you have to flip the switch for to turn the microwave and fridge on. You can see the attentive housekeeping working round the clock. The shower water was so nice and warm and had a really nice shower head. Parking is free first come first serve, but there's a decent amount. The area was fine, I'm not sure if it's the safest (our Lyft driver said it isn't) but we had no problem, there are other tourists staying here too and you will likely sleep here and then spend your days out and about in other locations. It's around 15 minutes from LAX and some LAX-location car rental places. The walls can allow noise but we didn't have any problem, it was mostly quiet. There are 3 vending machines on-site, one for drinks, one for ice-cream, and one for snacks, but they were half empty or not working so be prepared. There's a 7-11 down the street, maybe a 10 minute walk away, and In-N-Out and Wal-Mart each a short drive away. The less touristy and pretty, restaurant-packed Hermosa Beach is 30 minutes away and same for Griffith Observatory/the Hollywood sign as well as Venice or Santa Monica or downtown LA. Everything in LA is so spaced out that it's hard to find a "close" hotel and you can't avoid driving a lot, but might be able to find lodging closer to at least one location you plan on visiting if you're really worried about limiting driving.

My best friend & I stumbled upon this find after I’d landed from an over night flight from the other side of the country at 5am & was EXHAUSTED & needed somewhere to sleep ASAP. We sat in the car near LAX & called around to various places after searching on google for cheap nearby motels. We needed something that allowed early check in for an extra fee & also somewhere that did not require a large deposit. We found all that with Sea Rock. We checked in on a Sunday around 7am, deposit was only $60 & the people behind the counter were friendly, very efficient, quick & had a key in our hands within 10 minutes. For a cheap motel I was very impressed with the room which exceeded my expectations. Full bathroom with the toilet & shower in one room with mirror & sink on the other side of the bathroom door, which made it easy to get ready to leave & go out to get food. The room came with a small flat screen tv, mini fridge, microwave, 2 queen beds, & a big AC/heater unit attached to the front window, low to the ground, which was so relaxing to turn up the ac & sleep. All in all it felt like a hotel room just with older wooden flooring and rustic/old fashioned color paint on the walls, which you’d expect to be thin where you can hear everything on the other side but we did not run into that issue. They also offered late check out for an additional fee as well. So the fact that they had a lot of flexibility of check in & out times, really really made my day & set this place apart from other cheap motels....
