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!

Absolutely delightful!
Pros:

This pretty, well appointed boutique hotel was an absolute delight. If you're looking for an out-of-the-ordinary place to stay, this is it! We enjoyed a pretty, cozy room complete with a big bathroom and its own outdoor porch. My only small issue was being able to hear kitchen noises early in the morning-stuffed a bath towel under the door.
Every staff member we met was kind and professional.
Breakfast included fresh hand-cut fruit, yoghurt, homemade granola, a baked treat and eggs to order among others items.
Afternoon included 3 choices of wine and snacks (enough cheese, but definitely ran out of crackers which were sadly never replenished).
The beach is about 10 minutes walk. They offer towels, chairs & beach toys- just ask!
This lovely lodging is a bit pricey, however the return on investment was big!
This East coast person would definitely stay again, if ever in the area!

Pros:

Beautiful location. Friendly staff. Great breakfast and even a wine and cheese hour. Would definitely stay again.

Cons:

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.

Great location, nice rooms, and staff but some rooms are quite noisy.
Pros:

This is a very nice bed and breakfast inn located in a small business area of Playa del Rey. The back of the inn faces the Ballona Creek wetlands reserve which can be full of birds at times. The front of the inn faces Culver Blvd, a busy and usually noisy street, with heavy traffic in the morning and late afternoon/early evening. Within a 5 to 10 minute walk of the inn there are several small restaurants, a great coffee shop (Tanners), a liquor store and a local grocery store selling great sandwiches and imported Italian food products. The inn staff are helpful and friendly, serving a nice breakfast. The rooms facing the wetlands are usually quiet whereas I'd suspect that those facing the street are quite noisy (though I've never stayed in one of those rooms). Parking is free. Depending on the day and time of day it can take 15 to 45 minutes to get to Venice, Santa Monica and points north and the same amount of time to get to Manhattan Beach by car. LAX is an easy 15 minute drive away. I've stayed here twice, once in 307 and once in 304, both rooms facing the wetlands. Room 304 is very large, nicely furnished, very clean and comfortable. However it can be quite loud because immediately above it is the air conditioning compressor, and because water pipes in the room wall or ceiling provide water to other rooms on the floor so that you know when someone has flushed a toilet in another room. In addition there is a fireplace that faces both the large soaking tub in the bathroom and the main room, so that you can look through the fireplace glass doors from one room to another - there is no way to cover this and in the mornings there is bright light shining from the bathroom windows directly onto the bed. We had to cover this with a chair and blankets. The WiFi signal is weak and very slow with frequent outages. I'd suggest that you not book room 304. Room 307, which is smaller, had none of the noise issues found in 304.

Wonderful spot to stay in a great location where you can just walk everywhere
Pros:

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

Great hotel, will definitely be our go to in LA next time!
Pros:

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!

Cons:

Some of the rooms are a bit noisy due to proximity to the road (closing the windows helps).
