A lovely place, but hugely overpriced
Pros:

Charming property in a peaceful and quiet neighbourhood, ideally located for the marina and Santa Monica

Cons:

It did not have a safety deposit box in the room, nor did it offer a safety deposit box facility, which was a big issue for my wife and I and left us carrying around with us all our valuables. We felt vulnerable throughout our stay and in a no win situation.

Un pur plaisir
Pros:

Tout était parfait petit déjeuner, 5 à 7 avec boissons et hors d’œuvres, sans supplément parking gratuit

Cons:

Rien si ce n’est que j’aime les matelas assez ferme et celui que nous avons eu me semblait un peu mou

Beautiful, comfortable alternative to LAX hotels.
Pros:

My friend and I flew to Europe via LAX with family who live in LA. On our way back, we wanted to stay near LAX, but not too near LAX, for our next flight home to Oregon. The Inn at Playa del Rey was a great choice: not too far from LAX for a quick Uber in the morning. The rooms were spacious and clean. We also appreciated the relaxing common spaces, the wine hour and the delicious breakfast.

Boutique hotel near LAX
Pros:

This is a charming, smaller hotel and we met many "repeat" customers. The location, near LAX, was positive. The hotel itself felt a little 'worn' in the common areas, but the staff was excellent and our room was comfortable. Breakfast and free parking were wonderful amenities

Wonderful Respite
Pros:

This is a gem tucked beside wetlands and a short walk to Playa del Rey Beach. I had a lovely room overlooking the preserve filled with a blue heron and other birds by day and a beautiful sunset and some city lights by night. The facility itself is nicely appointed with a lovely living room area for the afternoon wine hour and a breakfast room with outdoor patio. The breakfast was fresh, healthy and delicious. My room was very tastefully decorated, clean and peaceful. The staff was so kind and helpful. I enjoyed being able to walk to the adjacent restaurants for dinner, and especially the lovely beach and boardwalk area. I arrived solo for two nights to help my daughter move out of her dorm room at LMU, but felt treated to a luxurious retreat! Sipping wine while sitting in the Adirondack chair, basking in the setting sun while overlooking the ecological reserves the night before driving my daughter and her belongings 12 hours home was a welcome respite!
