“Room Was Comfy, Breakfast; Not so much”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 19, 2012

We planned a weekend at the beach around this hotel August 17-19. It is easy to get to off the 405 only three lights north.

The room we were in was 111. This is set up for handicapped individuals as it has the roll in shower which is also easy on my knees since I do not have to step over the rim of a tub.

Room was spacious, bed comfy. Sheets and towels all freshly laundered although the towels had stains on them.

Breakfast, very disappointing. The usual High Carb foods, a waffle maker, potato and sausage, but no eggs when I checked first thing when they opened. No yogurt or fresh fruit except some canned Pears.

We will be checking elsewhere the next time we come to SoCal. Manhattan Beach was a bust due to parking and dirty beach. However we found a gem at Seal Beach. More on that later.

Room Tip: We were in 111, set up for physically challenged people. Hardwood floors, roll in shower, no tub to...

“Look elsewhere”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed June 14, 2012

Requested a quiet room, received a room on the third floor close to the elevator. The noise of the elevator was only superseeded by the auto, truck & motorcycle traffic. Check in was cold, but efficient. The elevator to the third floor was jerky. The room was cheerful, included a microwave ,refrigerator, TV, a safe & king size bed. The wash up sink was in the bathroom, my preference is to have it outside the bathing area to allow multi use, but that just my personal opinion. The room and bathroom were clean, and they did include a bathmat. We make a point to carry our own, after my wife slipped in the tub at one location. The mattress was very uncomfortable. This is a older hotel that seems to cater to airline flight crews. The breakfast area was above average, it is the same area they use for the restaurant at night. The food was good, fruit, real scramble eggs, not the stuff some hotels are serving, ham & sausage, juice, good coffe for a hotel. They have a small exercise room with a treadmill & rowing machine and outdoor swimming pool. The central air conditioning system required constant adjustment and would not keep the room cool. This hotel might be OK for an overnight stay if you can get a room away from the elevator & street noise

Room Tip: Get a room at the rear of the hotel away from the elevator & street noise

“Glad stayed here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 6, 2012

We stayed here few weeks ago on a southern California trip. The family traveled with me need to fly out from LAX so we picked this hotel. The price we paid is fair. The room is big and amenities were enough: free shuttle (if you need ride to/from LAX), free Wi Fi, free buffet breakfast. It's close to Big shopping mall, Del Amo Fashion Center. Not to far from Hollywood Knott's Berry Farm and Disneyland.We had a fun vacation and we loved where we stayed!

“Wonderful staff, not so great room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 25, 2012

Ok, to be fair, we checked in at 2am after our connecting flight was late from Orlando. The shuttle bus came to pick us up at the airport and we were relieved to find a room as most others were booked out near the airport. The room costed approx $135 inclusive of tax and I think for the price, I've paid less and seen nicer rooms else where. We chose best western as we get points as members and usually best western hotels are fairly decent but this one was more like a super 8 if not worse in some ways. The room had a little bit of a bad odour and being a kingroom at that price I was expecting something a little nicer. The tv was old looking and so was the bathroom. After having a quick look at some of the other reviews on here, maybe it was just because that's the only room they had left, not sure. I would rate this less than 3 stars based on room, presentation of the room however, the staff there were very lovely and friendly. I was abit upset with our little situation with missing our international flight and was so tired so when I spoke to the receptionist the next more, I got abit teary, she seemed geniunly sympathatic, not so much in what she said but just her general manners and while that doesn't seem like much, but after my ordeal with virgin america (in this case I'm really talking about the guy from virgin america I had to deal with when we missed out flight who couldn't careless and was extremely rude) it was just lovely to see someone else atleast listened and was sympathetic. Other staff were also friendly and helpful so that's why I couldn't rate it less than a 3 stars. Maybe they do have nicer rooms??? but if all the rooms were like the one we stayed in which was on the same floor as reception, I couldn't really recommend it especially for the price we've paid. Once again though, staff were great.

“We liked it very much. They have a shuttle to LAX too. Manhattan Beach is about 10 miles down the road.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 21, 2011

Wanted a place close but not too close to LAX. The price was reasonable, quiet, clean and staff very friendly and helpful. The lobby furniture was from Granny's attic but very comfortable and looked brand new in the pictures. On the way to to the rooms, I noticed scrapes and damage to walls and got a bit nervous about the rooms. Not a 3 diamond , AAA look. However, the rooms were quiet, well appointed, ours roomy and had 32 LCD TV.The King room was small and had an old TV. Not as nice as ours. The beds were comfortable. We all slept well. The pool clean and hot tub too. The hotel restaurant was great , as was the complimentary cont.' breakfast. Parking was also a plus. We all enjoyed ourselves.
I highly recommend it.

Room Tip: 3rd. floor, top floor rooms quiet and nice. Hak's Italian Restaurant great prices. too much food...
