Beds were small, no luggage racks, poor lighting in the bathroom, small bathroom, temperamental toilet, smoke alarm went off from steam in shower, walls were paper thin, beds sunk to the middle, etc...

    ...As a single female traveling that is not preferred and they would only move me to another floor with an up charge of $80 per night, the room I did get had a hallway speaker playing music so loudly that you could hear it in the room. I asked the front desk if they could turn it down... The restaurant is consistently nice for both breakfast options and service in the mornings...

    ...And last night, our special plated dinner, folks could not believe that the steaks came out as awesome as they did... Finally, it is the staff that make this place work oh so well... Many of them have been with the hotel for 20 or 30 years and you can tell the pride they have as they take care of their guests and the property... I wish I could remember everyone's name but Luis and Julio managed our conference brilliantly... Paco is the best bartender... to watch him handle 60 thirsty guests all in a queue is pure poetry, this man has skills!... Adriana at the desk went out of her way to take care of all of our people and specifically spent time to ensure one late arrival was well taken care of... Samuel and Kevin provided topnotch AV support... Kathy offered suggestions and options as to how to best ensure our team was well kept...

    When you arrive at The Portofino Hotel & Marina you'll be blessed with a professional, welcoming, caring staff in a clean, relaxing, nautical setting... Leilani exceeded our expectations on the phone prior to our arrival... She politely answered all of our questions and welcomed us... The valet staff sets the tone as they're actively waiting to assist and welcome guests... You'll recognize them because of their huge smiles, and quick attention to help you with luggage, parking, LYFT access, doors and more... Once inside I hope you're lucky enough to see Bianca, Leilani, Chelsea, Adrianna, Carlos, Nancy, Danny, Giovanni, Angel, Cynthia or any of the other amazing staff members eager to welcome you and help you have the best overall experience... If you've booked a stay here, you're in for a treat!... There's fresh water and relaxing seating in the beautiful lobby while you wait for your car or LYFT driver... There's handicapped parking close to the front door and a lift to provide ADA access to the fireplace level... The first floor puts you closer to the lobby, ice machines, fireplace/living room, bar, pool, fitness room, hot tub and front desk staff... I was able to safely travel within the hotel with my mobility equipment... The rain shower head was relaxing and the extra towels were provided by smiling hard-working staff... The cost of a room service cup of soup was pricier than expected...

    ...The staff here is incomparable to other 4 and 5 star hotels we’ve stayed. We had the best, most helpful staff at the front desk three different times... I didn’t catch the two womens’ names that helped us reorganize our reservations since we booked with a 3rd party, but Angel helped us the second night with another reservation, which was just a relief after spending a whole day at Disney with two toddlers... Randy Rhandus at Valet was the sweetest and so friendly... He was so patient and helpful with getting us loaded up in our car up everyday with two impatient toddlers and many bags and strollers... We are so grateful to stay at a place we feel so safe in and that has the best staff at a great rate!...

One example of this was Airamis, the valet who volunteered to drive our car and pickup our elderly moms so they didn't have to walk to and from the hotel and wedding reception... If you're in Redondo Beach, I'd highly recommend this hotel and the great service they provide their guests...

    Booked 2 nights using my Singapore Airlines mileage points redemption, hotel had the reservation but says the reservation was not prepaid. I have had a hard time until now to solve this problem with the front desk staff in the PM saying that only morning staff can handle the situation... When the bill was sent to me (since I had a back to back reservation) for the 2 nights, I replied to Cynthia stating the problem and we only drank 1 Evian water which was by our bedside table... There was no reply and I even followed up days after... Me and my boyfriend are hoteliers from Aspen, Colorado as well and know protocols... I just don't understand why the prepaid reservation cannot be resolved when I sent over my confirmation email and also SG airlines has been trying to reach out but no one has been able to help...

    We had our final honeymoon stop in this hotel and were amazed by the welcoming attitude of the staff and especially the kindnesses and big smile of Chelsea Walsh (the supervisor of the reception desk). Our entire stay we could count on her relentless help and support in all our endeavours, such as getting a cab on a Saturday evening to downtown LA (which was a nearly impossible challenge)... Her help really saved our night and we will never forget her effort (she even ran across the street to make sure we would get the cab in time)... People like her make sure this hotel is one of the nicest stays we had during our trip across the US...

We had Sheena from sales assist with setting up everything for the party and always did her best to make time to answer questions or assist us with any aspects of the party, definitely was a big help in making the party a success... Julio made sure everything ran smoothly and ensured all guests were taken care of, always listened to our requests... The servers Eduardo, Ivan, Maria and Michelle were always making sure everyone got their food and if anything was needed they would take care of it... The bartender James was excellent in making the drinks and I saw many of the guests going back often to get his drinks, very good at what he does... Everyone did a great job and all the guests, including ourselves, enjoyed our time there, would recommend if the opportunity is given...

    ...Portofino is a phenomenal resort right on the water that feels like it could have been transplanted from coastal Rhode Island or Martha's Vinyard. Service from the desk staff was first class, and the living room was warm and cozy for happy hour and live music in the evening... We only stayed one night, but wish we stayed longer to take advantage of the amenities and further explore the local area... This is an easy pick if visiting the Redondo Beach area...

There's so much to watch from all rooms of the hotel: marina boat activity, sea lions, seagulls, paddle boards, sail boats, kayaks and more in clear view... There's 3 levels in this hotel, with benefits of each... The first floor puts you closer to the lobby, ice machines, fireplace/living room, bar, pool, fitness room, hot tub and front desk staff... The 2nd and 3rd floors have better views and long halls that are filled with music on many evenings... The rain shower head was relaxing and the extra towels were provided by smiling hard-working staff... The cost of a room service cup of soup was pricier than expected... That said, we splurged often to enjoy tacos and sliders in the beautiful living room... The lovely atmosphere inside & looking out to the ocean, is worth every penny...

Staff very friendly, from arrival with Bell Boy accepting and helping offload the car to the registering at reception, nothing too much to ask... The room had a great view of the water and were even spoiled with 2 seals playing in the water... The restaurant was amazing, with table right by the fireplace and the staff helping a lot with recommendations... The quality was fantastic, and I can really recommend that to anyone...

This is our third time to stay at this hotel and we enjoy hanging out in the cozy and elegant lounge area where we watch entertainers sing during happy hour... Our stay for New Year's Eve was made special by Leilanii who went out of her way to accommodate us... She told us about the bikes that we could use to cruise the strand... She held our luggage' for us while we were out and when we came back to check in, our luggages were already in our room... Bianca was also nice and accommodated our needs...

    ...I loved the feel of the hotel when I first entered. The lobby is visually appealing and offered many conversation areas for guests to relax and gather with their group... Beds were small, no luggage racks, poor lighting in the bathroom, small bathroom, temperamental toilet, smoke alarm went off from steam in shower, walls were paper thin, beds sunk to the middle, etc... The pool was small and one couldn't look out at the water when seated, view was blocked by concrete wall... There is a bar in the hotel lobby but it never was open...

    My husband and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary at the hotel and we will definitely be back. The hotel staff was very welcoming and was excited to share in our celebration (even bringing up a bottle of champagne)... We had an ocean view room that was much larger than expected from what we saw in pictures... We had drinks on our balcony while watching the sunset... The room itself was very comfortable, had plenty of room and I wish we could’ve brought home the bed because it was like sleeping in a cloud... Even the room service was good and came much faster than expected...

Great hotel in a perfect location. Super pretty and great views. Rooms are average. Food at the Balleen is OK (not great, not bad). Be aware that the 2 hotel bars close very early (start shutting down and last call at 8:30pm)

We enjoyed our staycation at The Portofino! Craig at the front desk was extremely helpful during check-in. We loved how dog friendly the property is! Having a glass of wine next to the lobby fireplace in the evening was perfect. Room service breakfast arrived so quickly and was delicious. We look forward to coming back in the summer to enjoy the pool!

My husband, daughter, and I chose the Portofino as our home base for college campus visits around Los Angeles and vicinity. Perfect location! Right on the water, beautiful view of the harbor (and some nice yachts!), and easy walking distance to Redondo Beach as well as Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach. Service was spot-on, with fun entertainment in the evenings in the hotel's very cozy lounge. Live music, wine tasting, and some great food to boot. Rooms are well-appointed and feel bright & airy. Comfy bed, spacious bathroom. Super nice staff all-around - from the valet to the front desk and bar/restaurant team! If/when our daughter goes to college in the greater LA area, we will be sure to use this property as our home-away-from-home!!!

The hotel is very beautiful and the room is literally over the water. We could see boats, paddle boards, kayaks and lots of seals swimming. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the food at Baleen was really fresh and delicious. We had beautiful weather and it was nice to walk around the marina and watch the sun set.

Our reception at this hotel was an absolute dream, thanks to the incredible staff. From planning to execution, their professionalism and warmth made every moment special. The banquet team was impeccable in their service, ensuring our guests were exceptionally cared for. Special thanks to our catering manager, Rain V., whose expertise and anticipation of our every need made our day stress-free and magical. The venue was stunning at sunset (and throughout the night) making it so memorable for our guests. The food was highly praised by all and the attention to detail was great. The hotel is a bit older but well taken care of. I lived in Hermosa for a while and had no idea this hotel was there. Highly recommend this hidden gem for any event or a weekend getaway!

The team and staff were very professional. They anticipated needs and met them. They were friendly, helpful and overall just nice. Guillermo, Eduardo, Ivan and Tina on the banquet staff were wonderful. Craig at the front desk was FANTASTIC! The views from the hotel were impressive and the wildlife was as an added bonus.

Place is nice location but not 5 star for 500 bucks a night. Lots of pot smell everywhere. Sadly this is how it is. Shouldnget some kind of no smoking policy and enforce it. Staff is nice but it's an old hotel with new paint.
