We picked this hotel because of the good reviews and we were not disappointed in any way...from the friendly and helpful staff to the great full breakfast to the quality of the rooms... we had no problems and enjoyed our 5 days very much.

This hotel was absolutely beautiful!!! The rooms were large and spacious, and impeccably appointed. The bathroom was beautiful, it had a nice sofa and coffee table in there. And the beds? They were about the most comfortable beds we'd ever slept on. The linens and down pillows and comforters were SO luxurious! Check in and checkout were easy, and the staff pleasant. Only thing I was surprised at was seeing a $1.00 charge for calling the restaurant across the street to make a reservation. (I thought that was kind of ridiculous). Upon entering the hotel lobby around 5:30, I could smell fresh baked cookies, and saw and empty platter, which was never refilled for the remainder of the evening. Kind of a tease! but I would highly recommend staying at the hotel for comfort, convenience, luxury and a feeling of being pampered.
We got a pretty good deal, and were charged $117.00 for a saturday night!
My only regret (other than not getting to try the cookies!) is that we had to check out early the next morning, and were unable to enjoy their breakfast. But my husband was able to get us a couple cups of coffee from the breakfast room, and it was GREAT!

We chose this hotel because of the excellent reviews, and we were not at all surprised to find this hotel perfect in every way. The beds are very comfortable, room is spacious and very clean, located in a quiet and good neighborhood, what can we ask for more? Thumbs up!

We will definitely stay here again if we are in L.A.

Ayres Hotel – 12850 Seal Beach Blvd., Seal Beach, CA

This hotel is located right off Interstate 405 in Seal Beach – about 4 miles from the ocean and close to various chain stores and restaurants. It advertises itself as a European-style hotel and there are some European touches - except it has modern, spacious elevators.

It is about a 5 year old, 100 room hotel. It is 3 stories tall and has 2 elevators. There are tile floors throughout the hotel and in part of the rooms. There is a heated outdoor pool with a covered veranda. The staff is very professional and attentive. There is an exercise room with a treadmill, bike and step machine – the bathroom in the exercise room has a scale. The rooms are nice and relatively roomy standard hotel rooms. The room we had had tall, multilevel ceilings. We had 2 queen beds, a small refrigerator & a microwave. There was a desk with high speed internet via an ethernet cable supplied by the hotel. There is a public computer in the lobby with a printer that can be used free of charge. There are free USA Today newspapers is in the lobby.

A nice breakfast is included in the price. It includes cereal, pancakes, juices, scrambled eggs, sausages, hash browns, fruits and berries. If you bring a guest, the charge for breakfast is $6. In the evening (5:30 – 7:00 PM) there is a reception that has beer, wine & hors dourves.

I paid $112 for a Sunday night and then $124 per night M-W. I had originally contracted for $129 and then $159 with an AAA rate, but if you mention that you are visiting someone in Leisure World (a retirement residence about a mile away), they give you the lower rate!

I and my family enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.
