Lovely stay at The Sea View

Déception
Pros:

L’hôtel est très bien situé et le parking était très pratique.
La literie était confortable.

Cons:

Déception par rapport aux photos de l’hôtel au moment de la réservation. La chambre n’était pas conforme à nos attentes. Tout était vieillissant, je trouve que la nuit est chère par rapport aux prestations de cet hôtel.

Location, location, location
Pros:

The Sea View Inn is ideally located in north Manhattan Beach just a few short blocks from the sand and from cafes, restaurants, and shops. Several rooms have beautiful ocean views or partial ocean views. They also have great amenities like a pool, bikes, boogie/surf boards, beach chairs and towels. If you’re expecting bougie rooms, you’ll be disappointed. The size of the rooms are good, but they are a bit run down. That said, you’re not paying for the Four Seasons, so it’s all good.

It was just okay.
Pros:

Nice people at the front desk. The Inn is pretty dated, the pictures looked better on line. The bed and pillows had seen better days and the bathroom fixtures worked and looked like I installed them. The faucet was loose, shower head was higher than normal luckily I was tall to grab the shower head. This Inn is definitely not handicap friendly, not sure how they get away with it, but maybe it’s grandfathered in. The best part about it, is the location. It’s right in the middle of the stores, restaurants and beach. If you’re looking for an okay place to stay in a great location, The Inn is it..

Great No frill option in a safe locality.
Pros:

The hotel is in a great location, with a lively and vibrant atmosphere all around. The only major downside for us was the lack of a lift, which made carrying our luggage up to the second floor quite difficult.

Apart from that, it's an excellent no-frills hotel that offers everything you need for a comfortable stay. If you're looking for good hotel choice in quite , safe and in a convenient location and don't mind the stairs, it's a solid choice.

Cons:

lack of facilities ( Lift )

Beautiful location and a great space.
Pros:

The room was great and the location was wonderful. Great restaurants and beach steps away from our door.

Cons:

Storage for toiletries in the shower, like an over-the-showerhead caddy, would have been helpful!
