Clean room. Upgraded room was spacious and the decor was simple and nice. I liked the efficient layout of the kitchenette area and refrigerator was larger than the typical hotel sized one. Beds were comfy. Quiet despite being sold out. Parking was full late night but managed to find a spot. Front desk staff was kind and accomodating. I would stay here again due to proximity to walking the Manhattan Beach neighborhood behind the hotel and close to grocery stores/restaurants nearby. Good value for the area and glad I paid for the upgrade. It was worth it.

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.
