My niece made a reservation at the Sea View Inn the day before we were to arrive. She was told when making the reservation that the room had a view of the ocean and was the best available. The room was accessible only after climbing an open outdoor stairyway. We asked for assistance with our luggage and we were told... more

If you read this review posted by this previous guest, she states the front office person would not help her with the bags to her room. If fact the front office attendant had 2 people on hold with the phones and one person checking in and stated he would help them with their bags after he took care of the...

el a lot to LA for business and wanted a more unique stay since I would be there for Memorial Day weekend. The Sea View Inn is a clean, charmingly decorated spot right near the beach (my room had a view of the ocean) and is close to per diem in cost. Jim at the front desk helped me with... more

Just got back from a trip to LA and we were so happy that we chose to stay here. It was the perfect location for what we wanted...access to LA with a rental car and walking distance to the beach. The hotel also provided free parking. The hotel provided towels, bikes, chairs, etc for the beach and this was the... more

I visit L.A. often for work and could stay anywhere on the company dime. I stay here because I dont feel like a tourist- I'm hanging out with the locals, jogging on the strand a mere three blocks away, or checking out the activity on Manhattan Beach Blvd (a 10-15 minute walk). Rooms 400- 404 are the best value in... more

We are a mom and dad and teenager who needed a room with two beds for one night while visiting a college in the area. We had room 8 . Our room was $150.00, and booked over the internet. The good: location near the beach, clean, boogie boards, sand pails and bikes to check out. Bed was comfortable. Flat Screen... more

My son and I traveled to Manhattan beach for Spring break, very excited to stay so close to the beach at what seemed online to be a great place. The manager was super nice when we booked a couple of weeks ago and even upgraded our room for no extra charge. When we arrived they put us in a room... more

During a conversation with this guest before making a reservation, she informed me of not being able to afford anything but a standard room at $130. Being sold out of all standard rooms and asking for 2 beds which our standards only have one queen bed, I wanted to help the guest and put them in a deluxe normally at...

Fantastic!

My family and i love this hotel and have stayed in it a few times. It is in an excellent location, right next to the Local York which do great breakfasts and only a 2 minute walk to the beach. The staff are very hospitable, kind and friendy and give great advice on days out etc. The hotel rooms are... more

I stayed there the first week in January and the weather was perfect so we were able to lounge by the well cared for pool on some great lounge chairs. The room was neat and clean. I would have loved an iron and ironing board, as well as a dryer in the room, but no biggie, they brought them to... more

We stayed at the Sea View Inn in January, 2008. We had a conference at LAX, and loathed the thought of spending so much money for an airport hotel. We discovered that the Sea View Inn was only 10 minutes away from our conference, so booked a room. Upon arrival, we were given the best standard room they had available.... more

The location is great, but there it ends....... We used the room as an adjunct bedroom when visiting family in Manhattan Beach. I found it passable, but just barely. To their credit, the rooms were clean, but aging -- some mold visible in the grouting in the shower. The beds were well-used - somewhat lumpy and the sheets were old... more

Thank you for your response, but as 99.9% of ALL our guest would say we treat everyone as Family and nothing less. With your comment, "You can't cancel and it doesn't matter otherwise", is so far fetched it's incredible. I do remember this reservation and you wanted to be off the street, but wanted an ocean view which you finally...
