I have stayed at this motel several times (and so have other family members) since we discovered it several years ago. We have all always really enjoyed the experience. I get one of the rooms around the pool, which face the ocean. There is nothing like going to sleep with the sound of the waves crashing ... just outside your... More

for a land lubber from Iowa, the ocean (any time of year) is a great experience. Sea Sprite is old fashioned, but very polite staff and owned by an ex Marine. The location in literally ON the sea side boardwalk where one can see skaters, bikers and all. Bikes for rent around the corner, a nice bike ride to Redondo's... More

They call it a no frills place and it is that.... but if you want to be on the beach (and I mean right ON the beach) and not break your bank, this is a good spot. We've stayed a half dozen times and have always found the staff friendly and helpful and the surroundings clean. This time we had... More

After a botched condo rental, my friends and I were able to rent a small appartment at the Sea Sprite at the last possible minute, during March break. The hotel staff was extremely accomodating and very willing to help us out of a tight spot. In terms of the rooms, they were very clean, but very outdated. They probably have... More

We stayed for 9 days at the Ocean Sprite. We had 1 room on the 3rd floor that overlooked the beach, for 7 days. It slept 5, 2 beds at the back of the unit, and a pull out sofa towards to front. The motel was very clean and tidy, and it was a perfect location for us to be... More

On the beach with family can be affordable. You are free to come and go to the beach steps away. There is activity for all ages. Dining and dancing and ice cream are a walk away. No need to drive. More

Sure its a great location but terrible service! I reserved this for my birthday weekend, and on our way to the hotel, an hour before check-in, they told me they made a mistake and dont have a room for me. They would not try to accomodate me and at least make a reservation at another hotel, told me to call... More

First of all, you must realize what you are paying for at the Sea Sprite... LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. There is nowhere else you can stay for a week and not need to drive anywhere. EVERYTHING you need is in walking distance. The rooms are definitely no frills, but I would not choose to stay anywhere else when I'm in the... More

We returned to California to complete closure of our house sale and help our son relocate. To finish the trip, we decided to stay at the Sea Sprite as it had caught our attention during our years in Southern California. The weekly winter rate we got was on a par with other hotels in the South Bay area. The view... More
