Inn at Playa del Rey

Free parking, which is hard to find in Los Angeles. Very close to the airport, but unfortunately you can hear the planes. The lobby is lovely and looks just like the photos.

The rooms don’t look like they do in the photos—they’re much worse. The room with a balcony was a joke: it overlooked a busy street, and the rooms were noisy. The view from the window was of a dirty lot. The motel is old. Breakfast ending at 9 or 9:30 is ridiculous. After a full day of travel, you want to sleep in, not get up early for breakfast. The staff were unpleasant, too. The comment that I’d arrived just in time to check in was completely out of line. I should be able to arrive whenever I want, and the hotel is responsible for making sure I can get my keys. I can’t control how long it takes to get out of the airport. As a tourist, the last thing I want is to worry about whether someone from the hotel will be there.

Excellent hotel. Has a homey bed and breakfast feel. Staff extremely friendly and professional. Location for us (LMU parents) was excellent. Bed was super comfortable. Room was nicely appointed. Pillows for days. Nice to have a day bed / sofa in the room for comfortable seating. Bathroom was big and had everything we needed. Toiletries were great quality. Breakfast was wonderful sitting on the patio overlooking the playa and feeling the cool breeze in the morning. Would stay here for a month if we could.

Our king with balcony was in the front on the road side of the hotel and it was quite noisy at times even with all the doors and windows shut. Just be aware. It was not a deal breaker at all and I probably chose this room due to lower price.....cause we like to be frugal when we can.. But this hotel was well worth it.

Very good
