Probably best place to stay in Manhattan Beach.
Pros:

Spacious room. Great location. Nice stuff. Free margarita at check-in. Will stay here again.

Cons:

Bed could be softer for my taste. This hotel can be loud given its proximity to the road and nearby restaurants. Still, probably the best place to stay in MB. We prefer it over the Westin. They need to switch out the carpet on the stairs from the front desk up to the second floor.
