It was a balance of good and not so good.
Pros:

It was a few blocks from the ocean. Walking distance to a market and cafe's.
Ocean breeze, nice balcony view.

Cons:

Staff was not that welcoming. $25 a night parking. 1 oz shampoo and conditioner. 1" bar of soap. Some guest's did not respect the pool hours and made lots of noise after hours. No one there to enforce.

Staff were friendly and helpful, a good location with cafes and a laundry nearby, more locals.
Pros:

Close to the beach and walking distant to downtown (15-20 minutes) Manhattan Beach. Bit more of a village feel.

Cons:

Door locks and blinds need to be repaired/upgraded, but not a major issue for me.

Great location; prize was right
Pros:

Front desk staff were awesome and very helpful. The hotel and rooms are cozy and quaint and maybe a bit dated. But it was exactly as described and we enjoyed being a 3 min walk to the beach, being able to borrow chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards. We didn’t have a vehicle so walked to the pier area for supper and it was a good 10-15 mins. The price was right and we loved this neighbourhood! Felt very safe during day and night!

love manhattan beach!
Pros:

location was great- at 34th street can walk straight down to the beach. Hotel had chairs, umbrella and towels. The rooms are clean, staff nice and helpful, liked sitting on the balcony with a partial view of the ocean from room 108. Beds were comfortable. We didn’t go in the pool too cold in March, not heated. A couple of restaurants nearby. Great market in the next block to the left that makes sandwiches and salads, has ice cream, beer etc. It is about 25 minute walk to the pier and restaurants and shops. Can’t beat the closeness to the airport.

Cons:

The rooms are dated, replacing the carpet with vinyl flooring would help.

Peculiar behavior
Pros:

The room/stay would have been rated better but Be on Alert... want to mention that Eddie set my credit card down, perfectly aligned, on his cell phone during the check-in process instead of handing it immediately back to me. My friend noticed this oddness, too. When I pointed it out and asked why it was on his phone, he said "I don't know".
