Hi View Inn & Suites — Hotel in Manhattan Beach

Don’t STAY HERE! I was there on a respite after losing my mom a couple months ago. I paid for the first four days upfront when I checked in. I decided to add another day to my stay because I moved around quite a quite a bit since my mom‘s death and I found that the consistency of being there helped me tremendously. But but! The innkeeper named Tina would not take my reservation because my card on file did not have enough money on it. I had money on another card but that card had been stolen with my wallet about two weeks prior to my visit at Hi view. Long story short it was a an awful experience because she fought with me physically to keep me out of my room in order for me to get my belongings. I could only cry but I also know that she took my kindness for weakness and I called the police. It was a disaster. She would not let me talk to the manager who owns the building. She said real curtly “he does not want to talk to you”. I told her she has got to be the worst innkeeper that I’ve ever encountered in my whole life. Don’t stay there she cares nothing about anyone but just bringing the money in. She’s not even there during the day. I almost got locked out for the whole day because I walked out to go to my car early in the morning and locked myself out. I went over to the front and she happen to be DONT STAY HERE!!! up front and she said oh you should be happy that I was still here because I am going to my other job meaning I would’ve been locked out until she got back. This is not the way you handle a business. I have never been treated so poorly so poorly in my whole traveling life! It’ll be a cold day in hell before I even looked that way that’s how bad she...

At first, this hotel seemed very nice. Great location, appeared clean, good sized room, great service, and updated features. Parking on-site was nice as well. When we went for a shower, we realized there were no towel racks or hooks. That's okay, we just hung it over the shower, but a hook would be a nice improvement. No toilet paper roll holder either, but also not a big deal. On the second and third nights, we received two phone calls each night. Both times were in the middle of the night, around 3:30am-4:30am, and all four times no one was on the other end. It was a bit annoying, but overall, not a big deal. The bed was somewhat comfortable, but it would get very warm in there at night, even with the A/C on. Regardless, I was ready to rate my stay 4 stars when I got home. However, on my way back home, I noticed I had many itchy bumps all over my legs! My husband did, too! Bed bugs!!! Ahhhh, so not fun! I would suggest to management they get this figured out ASAP. As for future guests, I highly recommend not staying here until the bed bug problem is fixed. The other issues I encountered were minimal, but I am disgusted by the bites all...

This was our second stay here, so it was enough to our liking to come back. I’d assume one’s assessment would be impacted by the cxxt, which will depend on season/days of week (when I have written the word in the past my review seems to not get posted). This is a traditional motel with what I consider nicely UPDATED finishes inside. The bed, sheets, pillows are comfortable, there are proper sized towels. There’s a little fridge, microwave, mini coffee maker, TV, hairdryer. The floors are tiled (way better than carpet), there is NO awful flowered coverlet on the bed. I would judge our basic queen-bed room to be on the very SMALL side. Might not be perfect for a longer stay or one where you think you might be in the room for long periods of time. The check-in hours are limited, which is now quite common at lots of smaller hotels. I left my id at check-in (perfectly friendly and speedy) and was happy they quickly realized it and knocked on my door to return in. There is no public/social spot to sit outside the room. Within easy walking distance (north) there is a great coffee shop and a good grocery store...
