We stayed a total of four nights in late April at the Sea View Inn in Manhattan Beach. If you like Manhattan Beach and the Strand, it would be hard to find a better location. But the best part was the staff. The owner, Hal, was there overseeing some rennovations, and he was absolutely delightful, as were Jim, James, Brandon... More

...with the reviewer who found himself locked out of his room at 11:00 pm and the totally unsympathetic response of the staff. During a recent stay my husband and I had problems with not one, but two rooms at the Sea View, and found the staff to be equally uninterested in our perspective. As the response from the hotel owner... More

We rented 2 bedroom apartment (#508) for $300. It is very nice and bright apartment. There is a partial ocean view from the balcony and from one of the bedrooms. We stayed there with our parents and had a great time. We checked out free bicycles and did a bike ride (they also have free beach chairs and towels). Two... More

I came down for business, and was encouraged by my client, a Manhattan Beach resident to change my accommodations in Century City/Beverly Hills to stay here. On paper, it seemed like a good idea, given the morning flight home from LAX etc. On paper, this beach hotel is far more suited to my travel preferences than the cinder block chains... More

The Sea View Inn at Manhattan beach was excellent, great room with plenty of space for the three of us, view over the ocean and the Fish Bar just down the road is a must visit. We'll be back! More

Unbelievably great staff! My boyfriend and I booked a month long stay with them and everything was great. James, Brandon and the entire staff couldn't have been more accomodating. The location is amazingly close to both LAX and the beautiful Manhattan Beach strand (literally across the street). There's a great bakery and breakfast place next to the hotel, along with... More

Stayed at the Sea View Inn, Room #206, on Oct. 26, 2011, luxury deluxe queen room. Can't say enough about management and the room. Folks, if you want the Marriott, go there. This is the real deal of a beach hotel, quirks and all. The manager, James, is so committed to giving his guests a good stay. It's truly hard... More

The Sea View Inn might better be called the Street View Inn. It's a motley array of six buildings, most of which are showing their age, on four corners of a busy street. My husband and I returned to our room the first night to the stench of sewer gas so we had to pack up and move all of... More

Three friends and I spent 3 nights last weekend at the Sea View Inn to celebrate a couple of birthdays. We rented the "Executive" room - 1 closed bedroom, one studio bedroom that was open to the living room, 1 bath, small kitchen and living room. Highlights: $30 cab ride from the airport (or free parking if you drive) Walk... More
