My family and I took a last minute trip to CA before school started. Not knowing the area very well we chose the manhatten beach hotel. Sounded great. Well, Its not close to any tourist spots so we spent alot of our time driving. (Poor planning on our part). I felt like we were nickled and dimed for everything. Parking... more

I stayed at the Manhattan Beach Marriott hotel for one night in late June '08. Arrival/First Impression: When I arrived, the first thing that I noticed was the hotel's beautiful landscaping. "Stunning" isn't a strong enough word to describe the palm-tree lined driveway. Check-in: The Front Desk staff was very pleasant, but we were told that our room wasn't available... more

The rooms at the hotel are basic but clean and comfortable - the bed was especially good but maybe the 12 hours flight from the UK meant anything would be perfect. The hotel is great location-wise - straight road to LAX and also a short distance to the beach. I suppose you could walk it but who walks in LA... more

We were a little disappointed in our last stay at the Manhattan Beach Marriott. There were a number of items that we expected from a full service Marriott that were missing from our room. 1. There were no full length mirrors in our room and we were told that there are no rooms at all with full length mirrors. 2.... more

If you are in need of a hotel near this area, then this is a relatively good choice. It is near some shopping and restaurants. Overall, the service was fine, but the hotel needs a serious renovation. You will feel as though you time-warped back to 1990. Positives + In Manhattan Beach + Many of the rooms have a nice... more

February 2008. Three night stay at the Manhattan Beach Marriott. I fly into LAX and took Prime Time Shuttle van to this property. About 10 minute drive. The shuttle cost was $12.00 each way. I booked online with Prime Time. Pick was on time and preceded by a phone message to my cell phone. The Weather was sunny and warm.... more

Not a beach location but it takes a 7 minute drive to get to it. This hotel has an airport hotel feel ( my eyes hurt when I saw a whole bunch of that bright KLM blue crew waiting for their transport ). The lobby is like a cavernous mausoleum, totally unwelcoming. When I checked in I asked the receptionist... more

I booked 2 rooms for Thursday - Sunday and had a wonderful time. I'm a platinum Marriott guest, and got the concierge-level upgrade for both rooms. The concierge service on Friday moring was among the best I've seen, eggs, bacon, fruit & yogurt parfaits, the works, and we continued to have access to the room for drinks over the weekend.... more

We stayed at the Marriott Manhattan Beach from Oct 31st through Nov. 4th. Hotel staff was very helpfull and friendly. Hotel was nice clean rooms, the lobby was under construction but it didn't affect the stay at all. The rooms are a little small but very clean although they could use some updating. Convienient location to everything including the beach... more
