Inn at Playa del Rey

Very chic place! I also liked the nice welcome cookies and friendly staff. Everything was nice

Fabulous!

The property was in an excellent location. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the wine and cheese in the afternoon was a nice touch.

Love this place, can’t wait to return

King size room is my recommendation. Its very nice hotel free good breakfast and afternoon cheese 🧀 and wine free.

Great place to stay, very different from chain hotels, friendly staff and home feeling

I honestly cannot recommend the Inn at Playa del Rey highly enough. From the moment I arrived, it felt less like checking into a hotel and more like being welcomed into a beautiful home away from home. As a solo mum travelling with a little one, the kindness and warmth from the staff meant the world. Every single person was exceptionally caring, supportive and genuinely lovely. That family feel is what makes this place so incredibly special and completely different from a standard hotel experience. The room was honestly one of the nicest I’ve ever stayed in. I had the most beautiful balcony view overlooking the marshlands by the Ballona Wetlands near Playa del Rey beach, with birds and wildlife everywhere. It felt peaceful, calming and completely removed from the chaos of travel. The bed was absolute heaven — a stunning four-poster bed with the cosiest blankets and huge squishy pillows that made it incredibly hard to leave in the morning. And the bathroom… wow. The huge tub felt more like a private spa or hot tub, and I ended up having two long baths during my overnight stay simply because it was so wonderfully relaxing. Breakfast was also absolutely delicious, with beautiful fresh strawberries, bagels, hot drinks and everything presented so thoughtfully and beautifully. The location is also perfect for anyone needing an airport stopover. It’s only around 20 minutes

Amazing breakfast with fresh fruit and homemade specialties, a great location within walking distance of many restaurants and the beach, and a wonderful wine hour featuring delicious appetizers. We absolutely loved this place! The facility was very charming, with gorgeous indoor and outdoor spaces to relax, sit, and enjoy the atmosphere.

Will stay again as we enjoyed this level of care & comfort while traveling!

This hotel is 10/10. Everyone is super friendly, the service is amazing, the food is great, the rooms are cozy with a nice bathroom and shower. Could not recommend more!!!

This hotel was truly amazing - felt like being in a beautiful home, and the attention to detail with the decor, breakfast and staff was really lovely. Convenient location too. Will definitely stay again.

This was the nicest stay we’ve had in LA. A great location that was accessible to everything but still felt remote. The staff were remarkable. An easygoing stay!

I loved this place and will come back. We had a large room facing the wetlands, clean with everything you need including a small refrigerator. The staff were pleasant and provided all information requested. Then was the breakfast, I had a soufflé with gluten free toast with fresh orange juice. One of the best breakfast I had in a hotel. My husband love the arugula with eggs made to order. All delicious and unexpected! The wine hour was also a nice surprise!

Quaint little inn with lovely staff and great location

Convenient Parking. Door locks. No bottle wine

My stay at the Inn was excellent. Room was clean, quiet, and spacious and staff were friendly and professional. The included breakfast had a good variety of fresh fruits, breads, granola and the cooked to order eggs were delicious. The property had beautiful views of the wetlands and was a great opportunity for birdwatchers. Especially loved the dining room porch views! Would stay here again.

The property is clean, quiet and well maintained. The staff is extremely helpful. I always look forward to breakfast. Fruits breads, coffee, tea, and eggs to order. They always have a happy hour in the afternoon held in the living room. A great place to meet other guests and have conversations.

Absolutely my favorite place to stay when visiting the LA area.

Inexpensive and chill.

Parking was easy, staff was friendly. Very clean and quiet.

This was our second time staying at Playa del Rey. Rooms are very clean, bed very comfortable, shower nice and hot, A/C was perfect. Morning breakfasts were extremely good with various things to choose. Als offered to cook eggs or omelets if you ask as well as the daily suffles. Yummy fruit bowls, plain yogurt, a different salad each morning, plenty of breads and bagels, homemade granola, coffee, tea and pastries. At 5pm each evening they offer wine and cheeses and fruit in their living room area. We'll definitely be back again. Highly recommend. On site parking a plus.

Breakfast was good. Enjoyed the wine and cheese hour. Room was a good size.

It was beautiful and well-curated. The breakfast was simply amazing. Nothing.

Fabulous location in Playa del Rey…get a room facing the wetlands. Little balconies facing Marina del Rey and the sailboats.

Family owned boutique hotel, with great homemade breakfast included and very nice staff.

Our bed was super lopsided, but still pretty comfy. We were bummed that we didnt have a better view from our room, but we booked through a 3rd party so it was our fault.

Room was big and comfortable, common area includes a lovely "family room" with couches, chairs, tables, a fireplace and some great books with view of wetlands and this was location of a wonderfully well curated happy hour of wine and charcuterie, dining area in adjacent space also had view of wetlands and a deck where you could sit and eat. There are numerous great dining spots and the beach within walking distance

The rooms are large and well designed, there is a field and birds in front of the hotel (national reserver), wine&cheese every afternoon, great service, good value, stuff is very friendly and helpful, good breakfast, charming lobby with space to chill and read. Short drive to surfing beach! Some of the rooms are a bit noisy due to proximity to the road (closing the windows helps).

It is beautiful design.The breakfast was great and wine hour was nice as well.ovation near the beach Our room was on the road and it was noisy

Beatiful and cozy bed and breakfast. Very clean. Nice happy hour snacks and breakfast. Great staff. Very welcoming. Would definately stay again.

The location was perfect, and the staff was all very nice.

No non alcoholic drink at the evening wine and cheese happy hour. Loved the cheese and snacks but I don’t drink wine

This was honestly the best Hotel my husband and I ever stayed at. It was such a romantic getaway for our first night honeymoon! The breakfast was amazing and the staff were kind and helpful.

Booked more for proximity to LMU and the beach so was pleasantly surprised to find I had treated myself to a very nice place to spend a few days. Friendly staff, clean quiet room, delightful wine / cheese hour. But the breakfast bar sealed the deal - especially those chocolate croissants fresh from the oven! Will definitely return.

The inn was very well decorated and impeccably clean. We were pleasantly surprised. The breakfast and afternoon wine and snacks were wonderful. Lastly, it was very quiet with comfortable beds. We will definitely return.

Overall great experience. Nice, clean room, with lots of the comforts of home. Enjoyed the wine and cheese hour and really great breakfast.

Excellent stay as always

Staff and hotel very pleasant and welcoming. Convenient to LAX but still had ability to walk to neighborhood restaurants the beach and beautiful views of the protected area. A nice inn to spend 24hrs between international travel. On busier road than I anticipated but could still walk

Could not fault the stay. They even provided free cheese and wine at 5 pm

Comfortable place

Have stayed many times at the Inn over the years, but it has changed! Rooms are okay but could not get the heat to regulate correctly so we were either cold or hot the entire stay. No longer cookies baking nor in your room at checkin with that nice note welcoming us back. Breakfast is ok. Gone are the coffee cake and soufflé. Always liked the leftovers with coffee in the afternoon. Wine and cheese was alright. Got better the second night. A bit more cheese and even some salami. Only wine. No water or tea. Overall it is a fine place but the charm is gone. It always felt like someone’s home. Now it is just another hotel. Expensive for the value. Said good bye to this place. Will stay somewhere else .

Staff was very welcoming and helpful.

Good

Very clean. Nice people

I will definately stay here again. Highly recommend

Rooms were clean and enviting, comfortable. There are many amenities and great location!

Friendly staff and very nice room.

I loved everything about The Inn at Playa del Rey. The room was great. The water pressure for the shower was excellent! Something I value when I stay anywhere. The bathroom was bigger than expected. Had 2 sinks. Even the view to the street was cool. It faced the streets but also the mountains and you could see way far. Breakfast was excellent every morning. Absolutely loved the arugula parm salad. The wine hour from 5-6 was a really cool amenity too! I. Thinking of coming back to this area just to stay here again. Loved it!

Hidden gem of a hotel.

The breakfast was lovely , very healthy and tasty . the staff were all really great .

Afternoon happy hour with wine and cheese. Wonderful breakfast. Very comfortable bed! We absolutely LOVED our stay here. We felt like family. The staff was INCREDIBLE! 10/10! We will definitely stay here again next time we visit the LA area!!

Staff was warm and welcoming.Room (206) was spare, but spacious with outdated bathroom. View of nature preserve from mini-deck was lovely. Excellent wine and cheese hour and full breakfast. Close to beach and some restaurants.

The breakfast buffet blew us away - so good! The staff is so friendly and helpful. The room was attractive, modern, and clean. Backing up to the Bollona Reserve and just blocks from the beach, the location is wonderful. Overall, highly recommend this lovely hotel. Bravo to the owners and staff!

Casa Riviera was a great place to stay. Everything was set up very well functionally and we had everything we needed. The location was ideal, walking distance from restaurants & shopping. The rooom was very pleasantly decorated. We would highly recommend staying there!

Staff was very friendly. Freshly baked cookies were a nice touch :)

Great breakfast! Lovely staff.

Gorgeous hotel for a more peaceful stay in LA. All the details - both large and the smaller thoughtful touches - are covered and we felt really looked after. Thank you to all the team!

I was blown over by how friendly the staff at check in was, the amenities and breakfast were over the top and I enjoyed my 3 days there immensely! The location to other attractions was excellent easily drivable. The nearby dining options were GREAT and again, I can't begin to tell you how nice and clean the place was and the staff was GREAT

Day team said, “sorry” and that was it no offer for anything else. The hotel itself was cute The elevator sounds like it’s going to break

Hotel was very cute. We arrived late and since we had missed the wine and cheese afternoon get together we were offered a glass of wine to take to our room. It was very nice after a 4 hour plane ride. The room was very nice and clean. The breakfast was SO good! Lots of options and very yummy. Would recommend

Great location; 10 minute walk to the beach, 10 minute drive to the airport! Short walk to restaurants. Lovely b&b accommodations with free parking onsite. Friendly and helpful staff; they even have beach towels and beach chairs. Very good breakfast. Situated in scenic wetlands. You don’t hear the planes! Perfect place to stay before flying out of LAX. Nothing!

Charming and well run.

Great location - close to LAX airport but overlooking one of the few wetland areas left in LA. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Large comfortable room. Nothing.

The staff were kind and helpful however this place needs renovating the windows and paintwork are tired probably a post covid fatality. We only had a one night here which was enough as the toilet blocked!

Great stay. Customer service was 10/10

I like the location and the friendliness of staff. While I do like staying here, I think this last visit will be my last. This place is in need of a renovation. I saw what seemed to be signs of a renovation a couple of months ago, but none of the rooms I have stayed in have been renovated. While this place can get away with being charming (and a great location), at some point they need to bite the bullet and renovate...especially the bathrooms. The layouts are terrible, doors hit each other, the exhaust fans are incredibly loud, there were signs of mold in the shower ceiling. I am usually out of the hotel before the breakfast, but I was able to see it this last trip...after seeing it I left and went to a local bakery instead. They also need to upgrade the security and access control...there is a reason that hotels left brass keys behind. These old residential grade locks and keys are not secure. I want this place to be good; so I hope they give it the investment it deserves.

Cozy, clean and quaint room and atmosphere. The cookies were delicious, nice fresh breakfast and snacks during wine hour. Location was walkable to food spots and free parking on-site.

Charming, relaxing place to stay in a very convenient location.

Fantastic hospitality. Top Drawer!!

This was the best breakfast I have had in any hotel in the U.S

Staff were extremely friendly and the breakfast was delicious. Great location close to the airport. We only stayed one night but really would’ve been a good location to stay for a longer. Period

Beautiful property, great amenities, comfortable and great location l-walking distance from beach, great restaurants and not too far from LAX. Stay was excellent too to bottom. Ken was so helpful upon arrival and every staff member was so attentive. Loved breakfast and cocktail hour. Traffic sounds but no different than anywhere else I’ve stayed in LA.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The staff was excellent, very courteous and made us feel at home. The morning breakfast was delicious and the afternoon apertif hit the spot. This is a great relaxing destination. The bed was very comfortable. We plan to come back.

Cost

Convenient location for LAX and freeways

Very convinient location out of LAX, close to the ocean and LA freeways

Very cozy

Quiet and cozy. Very friendly staff. View from room was perfect. Lighting in room and looby wa amazing. Breakfast choices and settings were epic! The floors to my room had hair and nails that was not cleaned up from previous guest. Gross. Lights in main entrance flickered for minutes before turning on fully.

Great little boutique hotel, surrounding area, not the best. We stayed one night for a quick access to LAX and it was absolutely perfect for that.

They were accommodating in allowing us to switch to better rooms for 2of the three nights.

Beautiful views, short walk to beach, friendly staff, excellent dining options. Highly recommended

We love staying at Inn Playa Del Rey when visiting our daughter at college nearby- easy to get @ LA, parking is a breeze, staff are always friendly. We enjoy the afternoon happy hour and breakfast in the am- a cozy and homelike inn. Beautiful looking out over Balboa Reserve. Be sure to ask for a room facing out the reserve and not the busy road if you want to sleep well.

Everything was great. We appreciated mainly the hotel atmosphere and quiet location. Nothing :-)

Great location. Very nice interiors; however, the room phones were not working and when upgraded to another room the fire place was not working, which was part of the upgrade. Otherwise, nice breakfasts, wine & cheese in the evenings, very nice staff, and clean facility. I'd considering visiting again.

Excellent stay!

First time visiting and so happy we found this place! The inn was beautifully decorated, the staff pleasant and extremely helpful, the breakfast presentation and food selections were perfect and delicious, and the wine and cheese hour pushed our stay past the normal 5 starts to 10! We had the most delightful stay and I would definitely come back if we come back to this area again!

Great location, value for money, incredible staff and the complimentary wine & chees was a real bonus. Free parking!! The inn is a bit of an undiscovered gem.

Would have preferred more than one bath towel per person in the room , or a good place to hang them to dry between showers. Walls are very thin. Windows did not open to get some air. Heater was finicky.

This was a lovely stop over situated alongside a scenic, protected wetland area and close to the beach. Breakfast was unreal good with chocolate croissants, made to order eggs. fresh fruit etc. Room was pleasant. Highly recommended.

Lovely hotel with great rooms. Staff is super friendly and helpful and their breakfast and wine hour is amazing !

The Inn is a jewel in LA’s crown. I can’t think of a more novel location for such a quiet and comfortable place. I stay here on every visit to the LA area.

If you want to stay somewhere close to LAX and away from the city, and in a quiet area with a variety of good restaurants in walking distance Inn at Playa del Rey is the perfect place to stay. The accommodation is superb, with wine & cheese between 5 - 6pm, to enjoy the beautiful view and sunset, breakfast was just as good. Staff very helpful

This place is amazing - charming, great hospitality, and free breakfast in the morning is always delicious. Room was really comfortable.

This is a treasure. The staff was wonderful. The breakfast and the afternoon wine and cheese are great touches. The rooms are sparkling clean and the place is just aesthetically a pleasure to be in.

It is very pretty, it has a new lovely look

Everything exceeded our expectations. The bed was super comfortable, the room was spacious and well appointed. The staff was helpful and attended to any need we had. The Deluxe breakfast was indeed delicious and deluxe.

Breakfast amazing Wine and snack hour amazing

The welcoming wine with cheese and crackers was ample enough for a full meal! What a relaxing way to end the day! I strongly recommend this hidden gem.

nice view to the north. Nice room with a fireplace.

We really enjoyed our two nights at The Inn. Our room - 103 - was so spacious and clean. The mattress and pillows and linens made sleep so easy. The bathroom, with its large shower, was clean as a whistle. But the staff was what I will remember the most. Always available and very friendly and helpful!

The complimentary breakfast was excellent, as was the complimentary happy hour. The complimentary home baked cookies were an added little pleasure. Parking was included and very convenient. There are lots of places to sit and enjoy the view of the wetlands. Five great restaurants were within a five minute walk. The beach was about a 10 minute walk. There's a Metro Bike station right there where you can rent bikes for just a few dollars and bike to Venice, Santa Monica, or even Hermosa Beach. I have stayed here before and will definitely stay here again.

The staff is excellent and the parking free, on the up side. Continental breakfast is served from 7-9 each morning and there is wine, cheese and crackers at 5:00 in the evening. We didn’t partake in that but it was a nice amenity. I give this hotel 3 stars at best.

Loved this bed & breakfast INN... Location to the beach and the airport was the draw for our choice of hotel. We felt totally pampered and looked after. We haven't had such personal attention at a hotel for a long time. Will definitely be our first choice again!

The hotel is located near the ocean with good views. Lots of restaurants within walking distance

Service was fantastic

Love this spot!! Great coastal vibe! Fantastic staff and service! Best breakfast and evening wine and cheese we have had! We will be back again many times.

The Inn is a very nice combination of a hotel and a bed and breakfast. The rooms look like most you would find in all of the known hotel chains but with the charm of a classic inn or b & b. The quality of the breakfast and 4:00 pm snacks are top notch and healthy, and it is close to many spots you may want to have access to around Los Angeles.

Hotel and staff was really nice. Very accommodating.. Hotel is very cute didn’t get to stay for breakfast but smelled delightful.. Hope to go back and visit soon! Just stayed for one night..

We have stayed here on several occasions and have always thought it was charming despite the fact that condition of the rooms and some parts of the hotel can be very tired. But on the last 2 occasions, we have been disappointed with the service and the rooms have not been as clean as we’d liked. There were also issues with coffee running out every morning, as well as the wine and cheese during happy hour.

Area has a number of good restaurants towards the ocean and the beach is lovely. The open plain behind the hotel let's you take in the environment and northerly views of LA. Breakfast station was being set up as I left at 6:30am, but coffee was already out for early departures. Very nice stay.

This is now my go to place to stay while in Los Angles area. The staff was extremely friendly and made you feel like they really wanted you to have a great stay. The room was comfortable, the bathroom very large (great surprise). Loved the B B atmosphere with the free breakfast and wine/cheese. This is the best location! You are walking distance to the ocean when there is a beach, walking path and bike path. This is a must stay area!

Exceeded expectations. This place is a stone's throw from LAX, quaint yet luxurious, and clean. What really sets it apart is the staff and the food. From the aroma of pumpkin bread baking when I checked in, to the welcome wine and cheese hour, the attentiveness of the staff throughout my stay, the fresh baked jar of cookies on the counter, to the amazing breakfast spread, this place was impressive. I will definitely book here again!

Arrived late to an entrance, in the front door to a lift to the lobby. Friendly welcome. 3rd floor room clean enough but in need of TLC shutters broken, some furniture worn. Bathroom decor also tired. Fair amount of traffic noise because room was roadside. Breakfast service good nice eggs.

I ended up leaving the property. Because I paid $3 hundred plus dollars for a room with bathtub, and the room was not provided as what I paid for. I didn’t stay.

Felt like home only problem is the room I wanted wasn’t available. Huge disappointment from the start.

Beautiful location with a short walk to the beach. Away from the hustle and bustle and a truly peaceful environment.

Incredibly pleasant and helpful staff. Our room was on the front side facing the road and therefore a bit noisy at night, but we expected that. The room itself was lovely. Breakfast is great! Highly recommend this hotel.

We had a great experience at this Inn. It is your classic small Inn with great personal attention. The location is fairly quiet for LA and the proximity to the beach is great; about a 10 minute walk. The wine & cheese in late afternoon and the breakfast each morning were beautifully presented and delicious. The room was comfortable and clean, good hot water and pressure and a spacious bathroom.

Very nice inn

This amazing, peaceful place is on the wetlands, walking distance to the beach, parking and breakfast are included. Staff were wonderful. The room I stayed in was gorgeously remodeled, I loved everything about my stay and highly recommend it.

The interesting thing about this property is that it seems really expensive, but the parking is included and convenient, the breakfast is free and generous, and there's actually also a free happy hour with wine, beer, cheese, and other edibles… There are wonderful common areas for enjoying views of the wetlands, and the place is also walking distance to the beach

There was a problem with the air conditioning system in my room the first night. I brought it up with staff and they addressed the problem immediately. I am looking forward to staying here again.

This is such a gorgeous getaway! I absolutely loved my 5 night stay and cannot wait to return toon. Perfect location for writing. There are so many common areas both inside and out. The wine hour is delightful! Thank you for a wonderful time.

Terrific property facing a beautiful estuary.

I liked that there were several nice sitting areas both inside and outside. These were decorated in a way that gave the feeling you had been invited to stay at a friend’s beautiful home or cottage on the marsh to join them for breakfast and some bird watching. I loved it!

The breakfast was very small and sad. I will not go there again.

Was Located in an older area of the town.

It was a quiet nice place to stay away from the stress of the surrounding areas yet close enough to restaurants and shops. Staff were all very friendly too!

Fantastic hotel with very friendly staff. Building is a quaint beauty, with a nice view of a piece of quiet in a bustling city. Free breakfast was delicious and free parking was very convenient. Great location for access to the airport, as well. Wonderful place and will return.

Very unique place, very polite staff, we loved it.

Quiet little gem right on the edge of a preserve. Very close to LAX. Charming place with homemade cookies and wine n cheese happy hour. Beautiful view and porch overlooking the marsh. Easy free parking.

Na

Clean didn’t like the bed

Family live nearby, but will choose this location again!!!

Unique.

A hidden gem in So Cal for older, serene and bird-watching folks. I was automatically impressed with the customer service, cleanliness and amenities at this boutique hotel/ bed 'n breakfast. Great views, open, spacious bedroom, convenient parking. I can't wait to return. The only negative my friend and I could think of was HBO was listed on the TV guide in our room binder but it wasn't actually available. Since it's vacay mode for us we like to take advantage of premium channels and this wasn't offered. Other than that I cannot speak highly enough of this place.

This is my favorite place to stay in LA. it is so calming and enjoyable to stay at and the staff is amazing

Only problem was there was no fridge inside the room, everything else was really good

well kept and quite little place along the wetlands in LA. We were only here one night for a concert at the Forum but this is the kind of place I wouldn't mind staying longer. Cozy rooms, nice common areas where you really would want to sit for awhile, good service and a nice breakfast.

Very nice little extra touches. Very clean

Our room was great. Nice size, clean, and comfortable.

Room was spotless. Parking below the inn at the rear. Street out front was busy & this room was on the street, but the price was less too! Great location. Fun to explore various well- known beach cities in the are.

Beautiful property; rooms with all the comforts plus views over refuge.

Nuff said

Very nice facility

Quaint, charming Inn in the middle of crazy busy LA. Deck overlooks wet lands area and 1/2 mile walk to beach. Great property.

It was pleasant until we encountered black ants around the toilet and sinks. The rooms could use updated tvs.

excellent, excellent, excellent! The place was just the right place for our family to stay. Always helpful and always clean. The staff was wonderful. We will stay here again in the future.

Great place for birders!

I love this Inn. It’s really cool to hear the frogs etc from the protected wetlands:-) My only complaint was my coffee maker didn’t work and I had to leave at 5am so there wasn’t anything I could do about it:-( Everything else was terrific.

Very helpful staff. The breakfasts were creative and tasty. We'll stay there again.

Need

Convenient to LAX and beach.

Lovely homely feel with added bonus of complimentary cheese and wine and super breakfast

Good breakfast, nice rooms, helpful friendly staff.

Great location for an event at Kia Forum or SoFi Stadium. Easy to get to, plenty of free parking, clean and quiet Bed and Breakfast.

There is no stuff available at night hours if you arrive late. No drinking water in the room and the bathroom has no AC. The night stuff is very rude and hardly speak any English

The location was perfect for my trip. Parking was included and breakfast was included. Very clean room, great bathroom!

The room was very nice. Overall I highly recommend. I will definitely be revisiting 🙌

Another comfortable, convenient stay at the Inn. Love this place!!

Only stayed one night and all was well!

Beautiful view of the Wetlands and Marina in the distance. The peacful quiet from the city was amazing. We slept with the patio door wide open. Very comfortable bed.
