    An old motel but owners clearly take pride in it. Check in was smooth and the (owner?) very friendly. Every fixture and surface in our room was new- looks nothing like most of the pictures posted! New flooring, tub, bedding, even bathroom door. All very simple and clean, Mattress and pillow were firm and comfortable. Mini fridge, microwave, tv. It looks like the closet used to be the one small rack seen next to the bed in the picture, but for this quick trip didn't need any hangers!

    The owner/manager was nice but kinda shady! Our room rate for the Friday night was 89.00 ( good deal) and he let us check in early(11am). When I went to pay he say it will bee 100.00 exactly and he said cash only! I thought that was kinda odd, but no biggie!! As far as the room, it smelled terrible. It was a smoking room. We went to the beach and hoped it would smell better later, but it didnt. Room was very old and you could tell. Cords hanging all over the walls. Bathroom was falling apart. There was a suprise guest of a spider in the shower when we got there! Shower would overflow and water was everywhere! It was about a 15 min walk to the Pier (not 5). I would definitely not stay here again, the redondo beach inn is right next door, around same price and a lot cleaner!! If you don't mind these things, then this place can work for you! Free parking and close to everything!

    Hypodermic Needle found in room. Staff said "it's not my needle" and didn't even offer to remove it.

    Stay Away! The room smelled of mold and mildew immediately upon walking in. When confronting the staff about the mold (which led to headaches, congestion and nausea), the fleas (showing him the bites on ankles and knees), and a *hypodermic needle* found in the room, the live-on-property staff claimed "it wasn't their needle" and refused to offer any solutions and did not even offer to remove the needle! They then lied about the prices of the room and tried to charge us MORE per night to continue our stay - while also telling us the 1 room without mold was already taken. Throughout this entire stay, the staff was rude and inconsiderate, making hand gestures instead of using common courtesy and professionalism. They claimed to have a rule of "No Guests Allowed" - which is insane for a hotel and they made us both show ID, not just the person who rented the room. **There is NO maid service on staff (yet they charge more than enough to cover a professional maid service so there's no reason not to hire any)!** Additionally, there were stains everywhere, especially on the door, the balcony curtain and the mirror. The table inside the room also had something sticky and gross on the underside. The bathroom is incredibly tiny with nowhere to hang your towel and the shower-head is very weak and small. The water in the shower tub doesn't fully drain, so there is always a small little puddle in there as well. Dogs were barking at night and allowed to run around with no leashes (even though they falsely advertise not allowing dogs on the property). The only vending machine on the property is for show - it doesn't work (great metaphor for the hotel in general, all show with no substance). This hotel does NOT seem to meet Health Department Standards and is absurdly overpriced!

    Although it is not the dirtiest hotel it is a little rundown. Owners are nice but seem a little sketchy.

We had to wait a few minutes as there were other people in front of us. We were eventually helped by a woman. The lobby is nice and bright with several places to sit. The room was a decent size. It had a comfortable king size bed, a nice sitting chair, and a desk with a chair. There was a sliding door that opened up with a small balcony and a distant view of the ocean. The bathroom was clean and typical with a shower tub, toilet and sink in the same room. Overall the Redondo Beach Hotel is a relaxed place to stay when in the area. The people that worked there did their job and the room was comfortable.

We spent two nights here, and overall, the hotel was decent. They have two elevators, one is near the entrance to the room hallway, and the other is in the middle of the hallway as you walk toward the rooms on the other side of the hotel. We stayed on the 3rd floor, which was nice because there was less foot traffic. Our room was actually facing the swimming pool. We didn't get a marina view, but the pool view wasn't bad either! All the staff at the front desk were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Overall, it was a convenient and comfortable place for our two-night stay in Redondo Beach.

He had such a calm, easygoing manner and seemed truly happy to help. He went above and beyond while assisting me with my boat even taking the time to find a funnel for me because my boat was a bit complicated. Those thoughtful little things make such a difference and I really appreciated how welcome and comfortable he made me feel. I hope his management team sees this because he deserves recognition for his wonderful service. Thank you, Adryan!

    You call this a boutique hotel? I am writing this review while sweating from what they call a…read more"queen"-sized bed (I'm pretty sure it's just a full bed, because this is definitely smaller than my queen-sized bed.) The AC is out and it will not be back until tomorrow. Our room is on the first floor where people can see in, so we can't close the shades and get air from outside (and our side of the hotel is the parking lot side, so it doesn't even get ocean air or view.) I booked this hotel for a friend's Labor Day weekend wedding nearby expecting a "premium boutique hotel." (Google Gemini's words, not mine.) I booked it from the AmEx travel portal because it's on The Hotel Collection where I get a free night if I book 2 nights, free breakfast, and $100 credit. The wedding recommended other less-nice hotels nearby, but actually with the free night, it came out to be roughly the same price for 3 nights. It has been nothing but disappointing (beginning with the broken AC.) The pool and hot tub were small and middling. The room is dated. The restaurant (with free breakfast and a dinner we got with the $100 credit) was mediocre. You call those steak tacos rare? Where is the flavor? Service was also lacking. Very slow at dinnertime and it wasn't even busy. There's a daily facilities fee ($40) that is supposed to include the hotel bikes (free 2 hours on a regular bike, free 1 hour on an e-bike.) The bikes are very basic and were not that clean. This is a blatant money grab. The common areas are nice. The spa water in the lobby is nice. The cafe closes at 10am which is absurd to me. Another review this year (2026) said parking was $20--now it's $43/night. Wifi is very slow and unreliable (I can't even post this scathing review because it's down again.) Service was fine, albeit unremarkable. I would not come back and I would go to any of the other wedding-recommended hotels before the Portofino because they bill themselves as a nice hotel and have been the complete opposite.

    **Good Night, Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite**…read more Since 2020, The Beach House in Hermosa Beach has been my preferred staycation destination. Although the front desk staff often made me feel more tolerated than celebrated, the stunning views kept me coming back and with no room service available, my interactions with the staff were limited to check-in and check-out, allowing me to enjoy my visits in peace. After my mother passed away in July 2025, I chose this hotel to help me cope during my first birthday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas without her. The beach has always served as my sanctuary. However, during my last stay in December 2025, I unknowingly left with an unwanted holiday gift: BED BUGS. That's right BED BUGS AT THE BEACH HOUSE, HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA! Throughout 2025, The Beach House was my only travel destination. In January 2026, I began to notice itching, and by February, I was experiencing severe reactions without understanding the cause. One night around 3 a.m., I spotted a bug crawling on my pillow. After killing it, taking a pic and asking Google to identify, I discovered it was a bed bug. Having lived in my home for over 50 years without any bed bug issues, I was shocked. I immediately contacted an exterminator, who confirmed the presence of bed bugs, likely brought in during my December visit. Given that my only travel in the past year was to The Beach House, I knew where they originated. Fortunately, I caught the problem early, but it still cost me $2,000 to eradicate them before they became an infestation. I stayed on the 3rd Floor in an Ocean Front Suite I guess you can say I got more than I bargained for. SHAME ON Beach House Hotel Hermosa Beach for not maintaining a higher standard of care to protect guests from BED BUGS!
