Seahorse Inn Manhattan Beach - LAX

The room was very clean, just dated. We would stay here again. It was the perfect location for our flight out of LAX.

This hotel was not very focused on the customer. There was a long set of stairs to the 3rd floor with handrails that looked a bit shabby. The manager was nice enough to carry my bag to my room. The space meant that the customer had to walk outside in the somewhat busy environment to get anywhere. I believe that a garden nursery next door had closed, and the view of it outside my window showed a mess, almost like everying was thrown aside as garbage. When I mentioned it, I felt that the male manager just minimized any importance in my opinion.

I loved it

This was a great place to stay close enough to the beach for a whole day layover in LA (about a 15 min walk to Manhattan Beach). Its an older motel but the price is good! I'd stay here again.

Room was clean, free parking, restaurant in parking lot. Good location

I enjoy my stay and appreciated how quiet it was. The only suggestion would be to make sure the room is aired out properly. I booked a non-smoking room but as soon as I walked it I immediately smelled cigarettes. I carry room deodorizer with me always, so a few sprays got rid of the smell.

Free parking was nice and it's only a 15-minute walk to the beach. My only two complaints were that the pool was closed the entire time I was there and the shower was so low that I had to crouch way down to wash my face and hair. The shower head wasn't adjustable either. I'm 6'2" so I've had to lean down a bit for certain showers before, but never like this. I think even a 5'7" or 5'8" person would have trouble with this shower.

The room was in need of some updating for pricing asked. Minor wall repairs on drywall. Bed was okay but aged. No coffee in room. Nice place to eat just opened in parking lot. I just needed a place to sleep and for that it was okay. Very polite and helpful at check in.

Really, I have only good things to say about this place: very friendly check-in, great location, and great value. If you have a car, there is free parking ( spaces are tight). If you come without a car, you can walk to everything from the beach to restaurants to grocery stores. Extra comfortable beds and a quiet evening's sleep.

Great staff and clean room as always. Parking and safe area are awesome too. They have a restaurant onsite that will be opening soon, look forward to checking that out next visit!

the room was amazing we loved how clean and nice it was everything was great! For sure will be staying there again for our next trip.

Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Rooms are clean and spacious.

Yes no charge for parking

The building is an older one…but the room had been beautifully remodeled with very high end fancy modern finishes.

Yes

Not quiet

Wonderful Propeety no pool

No frills, clean and convenient. They don’t replace the coffee when they clean the room, and the premium king room does not have plates or utensils. There is a target near by…there is always a target near by in LA.

Very friendly staff. The food recommendations were worth it.

Easy check in and out. Room was clean and sufficient for our needs. There's no in room coffee maker, I was hoping for a hot water source to make tea. The location is perfect, with lots of food options close by and easy to get to the highway. There is construction going on across the street that can be noisy starting in the morning, but otherwise it was quiet. No noisy occupants while we were there for a week. Room was cleaned daily and towels changed out during the clean. I would stay here again.

It depends on your expectations. Two overnights, two staff room entries in my absence. One entry was to leave a "privacy" card that wasn't there to begin with. That's enough.

Clean room but could use some updates

Parking area was well lit !

No safe.

Easy to find. Easy parking. No complaints. Just one big hair in the tub I found when showering. A woman’s hair. But it was the ONLY thing off. Otherwise very clean room.

Friendly staff, clean room, good price.

Clean room. Upgraded room was spacious and the decor was simple and nice. I liked the efficient layout of the kitchenette area and refrigerator was larger than the typical hotel sized one. Beds were comfy. Quiet despite being sold out. Parking was full late night but managed to find a spot. Front desk staff was kind and accomodating. I would stay here again due to proximity to walking the Manhattan Beach neighborhood behind the hotel and close to grocery stores/restaurants nearby. Good value for the area and glad I paid for the upgrade. It was worth it.

Staff was very kind and helpful! Upgraded rooms are so nice and the bed is so comfortable! Rooms were very clean too!

Easy parking. Close to shopping and the beach. This was my 2nd stay at Seahorse

Good parking, and secure ...helpful staff ...centrally located

Cute and clean motel for affordable pricing. Safe pace to stay near the beach.

Location and top.of hill He gave me a.bad room.with holes.under the sink.and door and gases.cells and more came in

Clean, quiet, comfortable beds, free parking. Front desk staff were able to accommodate our late-night arrival. We usually stay in 3-star hotels, so this was a step down from what we’re used to, but that’s not the motel’s fault.

The front desk was great

Staff was very hospitable & the room was in good condition

This is a "hidden gem" of sorts because of its great location, affordability, friendly staff, comfortable rooms and free parking (including some covered spots). I only stayed 1 night, but because it's less than a mile to the beach I spent a lot of time at the beach, walking to some cool breweries and restaurants, and even going for a run in the area. There's such a laidback, friendly vibe in this area, and the staff matches that with their friendly service with a smile.

Staff were fantastic, great location. Room was dated but very clean. Area was also very quiet (besides traffic). Would stay again!

Everything was perfect.

For the price it's a great stay, close to lax, free parking, friendly and helpful staff.

This gets 5 stars for what it is: an fine inexpensive hotel in an excellent area at a reasonable price. It has large clean rooms that contain comfortable beds, a sitting chair, desk, refrigerator and microwave. It's almost like having your own studio apartment. The couple that owns and runs the place are warm, alert to guest's needs and live on the premises. I would stay here again anytime. In short, this is a clean, inexpensive, conveniently located, well-run hotel.

This is nice place to stay, and stay here several times now . I always bring my mountain bike ride down to the beach for the day then ride back only takes about 10 minutes…

Friendly staff , zero hot water on our first night, major drilling outside, worn out room

Basic room. Easy check-in. No complaints.

Front desk staff was very welcoming and room very clean. Everything a bit dated but charming. Pillows weren’t great. Everything worked in the room and parking was abundant.

Not well kept, and not wheel chair accessible. Not kid or elderly friendly, only stairs and 3 stories. Very tiny tv maybe 24 inches and only 1 in the 3 bed suite, also had live wires sticking out of wall. There was no hot tub and a small cold pool.

I stayed in a renovated room which was very nice with clean modern, minimalist decor and LED lighting, built in wireless charging in the nightstands and desk. But the faucet was already showing serious mineral deposits - hard water. Bed is very firm but was otherwise comfortable.

Staff was friendly.

Room had most everything needed in it and was clean, but quite dated with some paint peeling. Hard to sleep: Hot, stuffy room, and A/C wall unit blasted off and on loudly all night, waking me up regularly. Even "downstairs" rooms required lugging suitcases up two small sets of stairs. Would not recommend unless you cannot afford anywhere else.

Location was great. Close to the beach, food, airport. Beds felt clean, ok comfort wise. Pool was good. Hosts very very kind and eager to help The rooms were very outdated. Carpet felt old and dirty.

Good stay in LA. Safe area, nice staff and enough Parking space. Highly recommend booking a remodeled „Premium“ room. These rooms are very nice with a great value for the price.

Great

It seems like they are in the middle of a remodeling project. I saw photos of the hotel on Google and booked based on those photos and then when I walked into the room, it was as if I was in a motel from 40 years ago. So then I went into the Expedia app and saw that the photos did match the subpar room that I had just walked into. So then I took a walk around the block and considered if I have to just suck it up and accept it because my time was limited or if I complain. So I went to the front desk and they said that I had booked a standard room and that an upgraded room would be an additional $30 a night which altogether came to an additional 60 or 70 bucks. When they showed me the upgraded room, it was as if I was in a completely different hotel. It was jarring how much better than my original room this new upgraded room was. So I decided to pay the extra and take the remodeled room. The rest of the day was good. The cost was probably reasonable? And I get it, if you’re in the middle of a remodeling project, some of the rooms are gonna be upgraded. But the quality difference between these two rooms was comical. Anyway, the staff was great. If I knew I was gonna pay the extra amount I would’ve probably chose in a different hotel

This place is really nice and convenient lots of food options and supermarket close by with the greatest guava pastries and a sushi place in a mile walk to Manhattan Beach. It could do with a bit of a facelift for some rooms and the pool area but that’s happening in the future apparently

Staff was kind and attentive. Room, while a bit dated, was clean and comfortable. I slept in earplugs, because it's on a busy road, and there was construction across the street, but it was fine. I really appreciated the parking and being walking distance to multiple restaurants and, most importantly, the beach. A short drive to Trader Joe's and has a fridge and microwave in the room. I would definitely come back here. It's a great part of Manhattan Beach.

Basic but clean and reasonably priced for the area that it’s in short walk to the beach and felt safe enough as a solo traveller.

The location was perfect, 8 minutes from Hermosa Beach Pier, huge rooms with a comfortable bed, no elevator but the stairs are easy to navigate, I will stay here again...I felt very safe leaving my fishing gear in bed of truck, ice machine worked perfect....

.

One day the room was not serviced. No fresh towels or beds made. I wish the pillows weren’t so flat.

Perfect place to stay if you have a night left in California and want to be close to the ocean, coffee, food AND the airport. The pool was clean, the staff was super friendly, and the vibes were retro but totally clean. I will definitely go back.

The staff was very nice and helpful. The pool was clean and the room was maintained everyday. We always had fresh towels when we cam back to to room.

A wonderfully renovated Inn that is conveniently located on the PCH on the edge of Manhattan and Hermosa. It’s safe, clean, comfortable, and convenient for a great price.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Quiet and clean rooms with some charm. Close to beach A little run down but very nice otherwise

The beds were so uncomfortable. And my room had a bunch of ants in it. Check was convenient though.

Dry close to beaches and some stores. I like the location and free parking.

Advertised as having a clean pool. In reality, the pool was dirty and empty. No water at all. The hotel is terribly run down.

Pool was not useable. green. Trafic noise. Room was so outdated had to upgrade to newer room.

Beds and decor was outdated. Bed description didn’t match what was received. Upon check in was offered an upgraded room option for additional fees. The rooms that have been renovated appear to be really nice. Motel may be renovating portions at a time until completed. Pool was not serviced, green, and not updated in description as closed for maintenance. Nearby Target, Manhattan Village, restaurants, and beach

OK for a cheap place by the airport for a night.

Everything was excellent. The pool was out of order, hopefully next time it won.t be.

Our stay was good. Restaurants were walking distance. But, the pillows were uncomfortable. Hotel needs to look into a different pillow.

every was prefect

Curtains were not great.

Love the renovations and the staff was super sweet

We are long time guests at the Seahorse! The hotel has a great and convenient to Manhattan beach, a wonderful town and amazing beach. The front desk is consistently the most friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable offering everything a traveler needs. I love their Seahorse pool too! Very inviting!?

Clean towels, they came to clean the room the second day, it was great! The person in reception was really helpful and considerate. The mattress was too firm (very hard), the shower head was too low for my tall son.

Regular room, taco Bell right next to it was very tasty, I really recommend the taco Bell.

The hotel was fine, clean and comfortable for the price. Staff very kind and helpful. Free parking a plus.

No real anemities in the room, not even the basics, i.e. an ironing board, but no iron, no coffee machine, no phone (to even contact front desk). Room smelled very stuffy and there's no ventilation system in the bathroom, hence small window had to be left open. Must allow water to run in the sink for about 2 minutes otherwise the smell of it (that of the release of air from the body after being captured for many days inside the body after a diet consisting of boiled eggs only) will not allow a human and the smell to coexist in the small space. However, front desk staff was very nice, check in process was smooth, and while anemeties were lacking, requests were quickly addressed and fulfilled. Customer service is KEY and scores big for me. We spent very little time in the room and we knew this beforehand, thus--the room, the room worked for us for our 4 day stay in the area.

Room was very old, baseboards were missing, carpet was old and dirty (better if it was replaced by laminate floor where you can keep it clean), bed very uncomfortable - felt like I was sleeping on a box spring. I wouldn't stay here again.

Closer to the beach but not sure if it was worth the old and dirty conditions of the room. Free parking was nice but we still drove to the beach and paid to park. Zero soap or conditioner in the shower and room reeked of marijuana. We had to buy air freshener from the nearby target to kill the smell. Linens from the 1980s and the TV never connected to channels without static.

We frequently come to the Seahorse Inn every time we come out to Hermosa Beach. It is close to the beach with easy access and parking at the Inn. They have been renovating and the renovations look real nice. I’ll have to select the upgrade in the email day off next time I visit.

Overall, great Hotel. The staff was amazing and very nice! Would definitely stay again!

Generally good - got what we expected. Appreciated the friendly, helpful staff at check in. Room did not directly face the busy street which helped with room noise - appreciated.

Room needed paint

I've stayed here multiple times. Great location close to the beach and many restaurants and shopping options. Bed is very comfortable and staff is nice and attentive. Only complaint is the tv in my room could not get any live TV channels to work so I had to watch the on demand app. No biggie

It was clean and a nice area. Missing iron and microwave

Beautiful room in a motel with a certain charm, conveniently located. It would benefit from having access to drinkable water (the vending machine didn't have any left)

Clean, safe, convenient location.

I upgraded the room and it was recently renovated. Nice room for the price. Quick ride share to the piers, restaurants and bars.

Not to bad and nothing special, just ok fot teo nights

Was good for the price.

convenient location.

If you are looking for Holiday inn express this is not it. If you a looking for a clean older hotel with an extremely nice staff close to everything this is it!!

Friendly and helpful staff.

Easy check in, ample parking, close to Manhattan Beach DT and beach parkings. Plenty of room around the bed for two adults. I don’t think it’s whole lot of soundproofed, but we had no noise issues from either neighboring units or the PCH traffic. A great no-frills option for a quick stay.

Room was clean, budget friendly.

In the morning, when I was ready to check out, I noticed bugs running on the floor and the window. I hope I didn't take their eggs with me. The bed cover is old, the room needs a renovation.

Staff was nice, affordable

A bit past its prime. Reasonably clean but paint peeling, threadbare carpet with lumps in the floor, and in sore need of renovation. I get that it's a budget hotel, and you get what you pay for. Good for a quick overnight stay. I'd not recommend it for someone wanting a "vacation" experience.

Very nice, quiet place, surprisingly super clean, and walkable to Manhattan beach. Easy check in and check out.

The basic rooms are spacious and clean, a little dated but overall good for the price. The premium rooms are recently renovated and very nice and spacious too. Good city views too. The staff and their customer service are top notch, great communication and friendly. Highly recommend for budget travellers, and those staying around the airport

Great stay here, clean rooms and very nice staff

The area around the property was excellent! It was very quiet, which made for a peaceful stay. I also appreciated how easy it was to find parking — a big plus in this area. Overall, I felt safe and the neighborhood was very convenient to get around. No major complaints!

It is an older motel..no elevators, old cigarette smell. The price was right though so, if on a budget, I would recommend.

You get what you paid for.

Huge restroom. Peaceful Outlet hanging out from the wall. Saw a roach by the AC

The person that did the checking in couldn’t have been nicer & helpful. Such as nice man. The room was spotless. I felt it was a little run down & the bedspread could have been more updated.

Really cool upgraded rooms and excellent customer service. Parking was easy and they have a nice shower experience. The place is located in great area to get to the beach and all the surrounding shops and places to eat. The bed was very comfy. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

close to beach, shopping and Taco Bell was right next door, you can walk to it. quite spot with plenty of parking and a space big enough to fit our f250 longbed 4 door.

Cheap older hotel with minimal amenities, don't expect too much. No microwave or kettle/coffee maker in the room. TV doe not have youtube.

Superb

Clean, comfortable room. Staff was helpful and friendly

They have not refunded a bad trup

Very friendly staff. Convenient location. Free parking with plenty of spaces.

It walkable to and from the beach and it's around a safe and quiet neighborhood. There wasn't any microwave in my room but it's an easy request to make if you ask. Very friendly staff and people I've encountered After a while, the bed gets a bit uncomfortable (for a week stay) just wish the mattress is softer. Although the beach is walking distance, I just wish there weren't any steep hills to walk on.

NO

When I checked in, there was no electricity in my room. I asked for another room and the employee said indignantly that I would have to pay more. After about half an hour, he made some calls and was able to fix the electricity, but there was no apology. The room was very loud with traffic noise. Next time will go to the Wave hotel—same price but better rooms and service.

Very nice area and rooms. Very friendly staff.

Manager wanted to argue about everything. He was more concerned with his feelings than actually doing what was right for the customer. He kept fulfilling promises he could not deliver. IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MY TIME AND ONE OF THE LEAST ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCES EVER WITH A HOTEL!!! THE MANAGER TRIES TO MAKE THE REALLY SIMPLE REALLY DIFFICULT. . . I WILL NEVER BE BACK AND YOU SHOULD NEVER GO THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! YOUR TIME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN TO HAVE TO LISTEN TO ONE WORD THIS GUY HAS TO SAY ;) HE WILL PROVIDE ZERO VALUE AND WASTE YOUR TIME!!!! ;(

My daughter and I stayed at the Seahorse Inn for the night after seeing a concert at the Kia Forum. The room was clean and had satisfactory amenities. The customer service was excellent. The location was good, close the concert venue and also many restaurant options in Manhattan Beach, and parking easy an accessible. Although the rooms are basic and not updated, I would definitely stay here again and appreciated the costumer service.

Awesome 3 day stay

The property was along a very busy road but was within walking distance to a few eating options which was convenient.

Great location with a car. Free parking is a bonus and was a lovely safe, clean area. Staff were really nice and helpful too! Not enough pillows on the bed and duvet was very light so got very cold at night.

While this property is a bit older, it was clean and freshly painted, and everything worked. Also, the gentleman at the front desk was friendly. Just a few minutes from he beach, I would stay here again.

Rough beginning, but a great ending, I had the best night sleep.

This place suited all our needs, looked for somewhere to rest up before a long trip bed was comfy, room was clean… hotel was circa 60’s but ammenities were adequate. Would stay again.

Love it

Wonderfully updated rooms at a great price. Rooms were clean, staff was nice. It looks deceiving from the outside, but the stay was great.

Second year in a row here. Close to LAX, restaurants, and shopping. FREE PARKING

The owners were both extremely approachable and helpful

GOOD

Excellent service, fine for a place to sleep while exploring Manhattan Beach. The room needs significant TLC.

Room was very spartan, tv worked sporadically. Room was clean but in an older property.

When we checked in, I was asked if I got the memo? Apparently, the memo read do you want to upgrade your room for $30 a night because they're renovating the property? I never got a memo? No, we chose not to upgrade our room. First of all our toilet didn't flush we had somebody come and look at it. He said he fixed it but he didn't so we had to pull on the chain every time somebody use the restroom. The comforters and chairs all had cigarette burns on them. And, there was a noise above our room that went on and off all day and all night we couldn't figure out? We assumed it was either the heater/air conditioning, but I don't know why they would need it it wasn't that hot or cold. I'll never stay there again. Overall it was the worst experience I've ever had at any Hotel, Motel or Inn.

Good place for the money. Owner & staff were very helpful.

Property manager was friendly like always and even let me try out a premium room which was fantastic

Nice, clean hotel. No amenities but perfectly comfortable. Excellent venue for someone who plans to be out and about in LA.

Just a place to sleep, staff was polite and friendly, room was clean, simple, and organized.

Very clean room and easy to get to the beach and the downtown Manhattan beach area. Very good value.

Stayed in a premium room which was comfortable and tastefully decorated. Staff were helpful and welcoming. Only downside was the location which was a 15 minute walk from the beach with limited facilities nearby.

Nice hotel in a good location. Helpful front office staff. Clean rooms & comfortable beds. Happy with my stay.

The host was very friendly and helpful when we arrived - we ended up paying more to upgrade to a better room as we weren’t happy with the standard room due to it being very basic and dated. The upgraded room was a vast improvement but it would have been nice to have some basic items such as a hairdryer or iron. There was a kitchenette in the room which was nice, but the cupboards were all completely empty, not even a bottle opener. The noise from the road was very loud, especially in the morning, even though we were quite far back from the road - I think the doors/seals could me more soundproof.

I will definitely be back!

I could walk to my fitness classes, beaches, ups, shopping & the supermarket. The air is really fresh although it's close to the road. I was so cozy there the whole time.

It was a mile walk from the beach, plenty of places to eat in the area and it was in front of a gorgeous neighborhood. I’d definitely stay again.

It was fine for the price

The upgraded room was very nice and the manager was accommodating. I highly recommend staying here. Get the recent remodeled room. A++++

Very safe area day and night plenty of parking space available on the property Nice swimming pool I upgraded for a refurbished room which was very nice with top beds, TV, A/C

Premium rooms are amazing . Full fridge microwave spacious

Very friendly staff. Any issue we had they were quick to fix or make accommodations for us.

The room was old and musty , water running in sink smelled like sewer, TV channeling has low bandwidth, air conditioning smelled like mildew, bedding had little mites, pool was cloudy,

Bien situer pres de manathan beach

Front desk was very helpful and communicated with me to accommodate my arrival. The room was clean and the location is great for beach access, dining options, and the price is right. The upgrades are nice. I have stayed here before and would stay again.

I enjoyed our stay here. We only stayed for one night but location is great next to the beaches and this was reasonably priced compared to other hotels and motels in the area. The owner was working the front desk and he was very friendly. It’s clean, good accommodation at a decent price in a great location. Definitely recommend.

Good for one night stay

5 minutes drive to the beach and 20 minutes walking. Clean property and Great Customer Service.

Very good, would stay again in the future. Beach closer

Nice clean place for a reasonable price

Very quiet and peaceful

Thank you for your hospitality!
