湿地帯を見に、別の季節にも来てみたいです。
Pros:

スタッフ皆さん感じが良く、気持ちよく過ごすことが出来ました。
朝食もハッピーアワーもハンドメイドクッキーも大満足です。
部屋から見える湿地帯は静かで美しく、鳥や小動物も少し見ることができました。
海にも徒歩圏内で便利です。
別のホテルから移動したので、到着がだいぶ早くなってしまったのですが、部屋の用意が出来ていたので昼前でもチェックインさせてもらえました。

Cons:

私にはベッドマットが柔らか過ぎてあまりよく眠れませんでした。質もリネンも良かったので、ふかふかの柔らかいマットが好きな方には良いと思います。

Very Very Disappointed.
Cons:

We wanted to stay somewhere exceptional. The price bracket and the pictures said it all. This was the one. Unfortunately it wasn't. The door to the tv wouldn't even stay open. Booked a balcony, but unfortunately it overlooked the road.
Desperately over exaggerated online. It is nowhere near anything, other than the beach.

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
