Inn at Playa del Rey

The bad: This is a classic case of "expectation vs. reality"—the bathroom doesn't look anything like the photos online. More importantly, the sheets were absolutely filthy with blood stains. We ended up not sleeping on them because it was simply unhygienic. A nice smile from the staff doesn't make up for dirty bedding, especially when you've already been on a long airplane ride for 15 hours and just want to crash. Absolute letdown

Scott and the staff were very friendly. Great location!

Very good

Quaint, yet clean and beautiful.. nice touches.. the telescope is ready for bird watching. Delicious breakfast.. amazing staff!! Nothing

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

Superb

The property was very cozy and welcoming. The layout of the inn is extremely well curated and inviting N/A

Very chic place! I also liked the nice welcome cookies and friendly staff. Everything was nice

Fabulous!

The property was in an excellent location. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the wine and cheese in the afternoon was a nice touch.

Great place to stay, very different from chain hotels, friendly staff and home feeling

I honestly cannot recommend the Inn at Playa del Rey highly enough. From the moment I arrived, it felt less like checking into a hotel and more like being welcomed into a beautiful home away from home. As a solo mum travelling with a little one, the kindness and warmth from the staff meant the world. Every single person was exceptionally caring, supportive and genuinely lovely. That family feel is what makes this place so incredibly special and completely different from a standard hotel experience. The room was honestly one of the nicest I’ve ever stayed in. I had the most beautiful balcony view overlooking the marshlands by the Ballona Wetlands near Playa del Rey beach, with birds and wildlife everywhere. It felt peaceful, calming and completely removed from the chaos of travel. The bed was absolute heaven — a stunning four-poster bed with the cosiest blankets and huge squishy pillows that made it incredibly hard to leave in the morning. And the bathroom… wow. The huge tub felt more like a private spa or hot tub, and I ended up having two long baths during my overnight stay simply because it was so wonderfully relaxing. Breakfast was also absolutely delicious, with beautiful fresh strawberries, bagels, hot drinks and everything presented so thoughtfully and beautifully. The location is also perfect for anyone needing an airport stopover. It’s only around 20 minutes

Amazing breakfast with fresh fruit and homemade specialties, a great location within walking distance of many restaurants and the beach, and a wonderful wine hour featuring delicious appetizers. We absolutely loved this place! The facility was very charming, with gorgeous indoor and outdoor spaces to relax, sit, and enjoy the atmosphere.

Will stay again as we enjoyed this level of care & comfort while traveling!

This hotel is 10/10. Everyone is super friendly, the service is amazing, the food is great, the rooms are cozy with a nice bathroom and shower. Could not recommend more!!!

This hotel was truly amazing - felt like being in a beautiful home, and the attention to detail with the decor, breakfast and staff was really lovely. Convenient location too. Will definitely stay again.
