“Hidden gem in LA”

A hidden gem in LA. Can't recommend highly enough. Location is lovely and convenient to everything (Marina del Rey, Venice Beach, Santa Monica, etc) although you probaby do need a car unless you just want to stay in the local area (which does have restaurants and nice walks). Awesome home cooked breakfast as well plus genuinely free internet. We were very sorry to leave and DEFINITELY will be back.

“Had a wonderful time”

We had a great time. The room was clean comfortable and well decorated. It was a beautiful location. Very friendly and helpful staff.

“nice for leisure trip”

perfect for a vacation trip, not good for business

“Oasis in LA!”

This hotel is great and romantic! Wonderful food, views and they even give the guests bikes to ride on the beach that is just a few blocks away! It was relaxing and very nice, but make sure you get a room on the marina side, you wouldn't want to have a room on the street side!

“Great in-city getaway”

Everything about our stay at the Inn at Playa del Rey was phenomenal, from my very first interaction with the staff via email several weeks before our stay to the ease and speed of check-out when we left. Everyone we encountered on the staff was incredibly polite, friendly, and helpful. The hotel is a gorgeous option for a little getaway whilst staying within the greater Los Angeles area...definitely feels like you've been transported to the East coast! We paid a bit extra to stay in the Romance Suite, which I would highly recommend - the views, double-sided fireplace, and oversize jacuzzi tub were WELL worth it. A+++++++

“Recommend highly - very relaxing”

Wonderful Inn with a very relaxing atmosphere. Everything about our stay was peaceful - from the homemade chocolate chip cookies and breakfast fare to the nature preserve outside our window. I know that we will return.

“Charming little 'hotel'”

This place is a gem. Very comfortable, reminiscent of old Inns in New England. The view from my third (top) floor room of the expansive salt water marsh/wetland preserve that adjoins the property was fantastic. If you enjoy birds, bring your binoculars ! If you forgot them, borrow the pair in the library downstairs. The sunset over the marsh, w/ Marina Del Rey beyond and the Santa Monica mountains in the distance is just a delight. I was a single travelling on business, but this little hotel is really perfect for a couple's getaway. If you are tired of paying $20/day for parking, $15/day for internet, and $40/day for breakfast at most hotels, relax. It is all free at the Inn at Playa Del Rey. The Inn is not new, so don't expect the latest in Eurostyle design. But the bed was comfortable and the staff very friendly. Even the gas fireplace in the room was a delight. I highly recommend this place.

“Charming B&B”

The hotel breakfast is pretty good - fresh baked goods, cereals and a hot dish but it is better to be down early. Hot water and tea are available 24 hrs in dining room plus home baked cakes in evening. Sitting room is very comfortable and they have good provision of tourist info both written and from staff. Beach cruiser bikes at hotel are free to use and it is fun to go up to Santa Monica or down to Redondo on the beach bike trails. Hotel is useful to access major tourist spots in LA plus for trips further afield but till gives a small town feel to your holiday. One really needs a car to get to restaurants as very limited choice in Playa itself.
