Too bad. Superb location for a active beachy-boozey long weekend. Hotel has a retro feel, way casual, feels like Jimmy Buffett and his buds would be happy here. Not a luxury property by any means but who cares!? The problem?? The front desk staff doesn't seem to give a rats a**. Brief story: I checked out, leaving behind my toiletry... more

The location of this motel can't be beat. The motel has a retro feel to it, but to me I appreciate this. Sure you could stay at a much more modern motel, but the fact that it's not is just the reason that I appreciate this place. The rooms are clean and the furniture is a bit dated, but this... more

I let my coworker talk me into staying here for two nights. $135 a night. I shouldn't have. I admit It is in a great location right on the beach and, yes, the local nightlife and food is great. But I felt like I was staying in the hotel from "revenge of the nerds; nerds in paradise". I am laughing... more

This was our 2nd stay at the Sea Sprite, and we loved it! We have a 4 & 6 year old. and this hotel is now a place we plan on coming each year. It's not fancy, but it's clean, the beds are comfy, the kitchen is great and you are 7 steps from the beach, literally. Once we parked... more

OK...I had a bad experience at the Hampton Inn in Hermosa Beach...management is clueless and wouldn't negotiate $10 off their first asking price rate...I guess they would rather sit on an empty room in this economy. Oh well, I travel there quite a bit and now they're off my list...permanently. I headed to the waterfront and found The Sea Sprite... more

We stayed here in sept 08 - we had 2 rooms with 2 king size beds and 1 sofa bed in each - paid $150 per night This place was spot on, the rooms were huge had a kitchen/dining room area, big wardrobes, balcony with sea views and a clean bathroom. Literally a stones throw from the beach. I thought... more

I knew this was an older "nostalgic place" but a friend had recommended it. The rooms were poor, the bedding was poor, the access was poor but we were making the best of it. After our departure I realized that I had their keys. I called them, and promised to ship them the next day. "By the way, I'm missing... more

I had read all of these reviews about a year after staying at the motel for a week... and now I have just recently returned from an 8 night trip to the same room, # 14. We love the Sea Sprite. is it the Ritz? no. If you want the Ritz, then go there! The SS is right on the... more
