    Beach view from rooftop
    Heather H.

    What a nice little hotel full of beautiful suites. We loved the location, just steps from all the shops and restaurants. Not to mention steps from the ocean. We stayed in the Penthouse suite. This room was made to party. Full blown wet bar, beautiful shower, plenty of seating, storage and don't get me started on all the LED lights and party lights throughout the room. Honestly, I feel like it was a little dusty and wish there would have been a better wipe down before we got there. Aside from that, it was a great place to stay. The man working the desk was super helpful and friendly. The rooftop area was so nice and very large with seating and firepits all the way around. You could see the ocean and feel the breeze. There was light music playing until 10pm when they close it off. It looks like you could really host a party or event up there. Now the one huge downfall was the parking. We parked right outside of the front door. We paid for several hours and planned for it to expire about the time we went to bed so we could add more time just before we went to sleep and we did. But no matter... We woke up to two citations, one for "no parking from 5am-6am and the other for no front license plate. Our truck didn't even come with a front license plate when we bought it. What a scam, the city makes tons of money off of people just trying to have a nice vacation. The hotel should provide their guests with parking details to save them the hassle of this.

    Stayed here for a night in December in the Ocean Pearl Suite. I would've given this hotel 5 stars if not for the fact that a dumpster lid fell on a loose fence and scratched the bumper of my car. I had to park in the garage even though I was told that I would be provided a parking permit, and I thought everything would be good considering that the options for overnight parking in the area are limited, but ultimately that wasn't the case. I told the front desk about it and while they were sympathetic, nothing was done to rectify the situation. I simply moved the trash lid and fence on my own and carried on with a scratched car. Otherwise, the stay was pleasant enough. The rooftop closes at 10pm. Our room didn't have a window but there was a kitchenette sink and mini fridge available. Basic toiletries were provided including toothbrushes and toothpaste. There is free wifi and there are bikes you can rent. You don't get a key card but rather you are given a code for the room lock.

    Just checked out and I'm even more impressed with everything this hotel had to offer this time around. We stayed in room 106 which included a kitchenette, fridge, microwave, living space and a balcony! Basically a cute apartment with the ocean less than a minute away. I took advantage of their cooler and took it out for a beach day along with some fruit and snacks. The proximity to everything you want makes this hotel a true gem. The 24-hour fitness is a few blocks away, some amazing eats by the pier and some cute shopping spots are so convenient. We enjoyed the rooftop after a long day and got the fire pit going. Such a pretty view! If you're out here and need to get some work done, take your laptop to the rooftop for the best "office" out here. Tip: Skip the pricey bike rentals and use the provided hotel bikes or grab a ball for some beach volleyball!

    Sunset view from rooftop

    Absolutely incredible stay in the best location of Hermosa Beach! You cannot beat the beach access--just steps away from the sand and ocean and most important - Restaurants! The rooftop was hands down the highlight of our trip. We rented it out for a party and were blown away by the panoramic views, especially at sunset. It was magical! Strongly recommend to rent out their rooftop for your special event. The hotel itself was super convenient, walkable to all the restaurants, shops, and nightlife. If you're coming to Hermosa and want the perfect combination of vibe, views, and location--this is the place. Nothing compares. Can't wait to come back!

    Let start with parking they have 3 offsite city lots and will give you a permit valid for overnight parking. Entry to hotel is by electronic codes. The drapery closed electronically our room included a kitchenette a/c. The room has great lighting and also had a ceiling fan. Please note the parking permit is given with instructions on which days you can park in the lots ABC. We used the structure because it was valid for all days of our stay. Cars must be moved every 72 hours and the pass should be facing the back of the space. So it's visible when they check. The room is not large but does work for two people. Bath is standup shower. We always bring a night light to plug in so we do not have to blast our eyes with light in the middle of the night. No real space in sink for toiletries but you can place under the sink.. They supplied soap shampoo conditioner a shower cap and a toothbrush with paste. What we did not find was a box of tissues or body wash. The bedroom had a queen bed and was comfortable a good size dresser and a small closet. They supplied plenty of good quality towels including two beach towels and a volleyball on request. You can rent beach chairs bikes etc. Ice is available from both a machine and in our room a large bag in the freezer. Want to cook microwave pots and pans a two burner stove and a kitchen sink. But at this location you will find no shortage of restaurants, coffee spots, ice cream,bars, and if that's not enough drive or walk 1.7 miles to ManhattanBeach where you will find even more places including two with Michelin Awards (Sugarfish and MB post). Your at the beach near Pier so walk or Bike the Strand,play in the sand or play volleyball (you can wash of that sand at the public washroom/shower at Pier. If you just want to relax take in the view and a fire pit/table on the roof top. Plenty of seating and area to relax. They do rent the rooftop out as well. The bottom line Great staff Great location A/C Near PublicParking Very very Clean Quiet WiFi Tv with many channels If your room is on the second floor you will need to be able to climb stairs (Also to access the Roof ) No elevator! Front door has one step and the threshold to get in. The lobby is one step down. Back door is level with the Lobby There are some side doors but I do not know access We stayed on the second floor. They do have rooms one the first floor. Room size and features differ room to room. I found this was a family business with people who care. Enjoy a few days at the beach

    Response to manger review from Google: You indicated that my statements about misrepresentation and disrespect are not supported by your records. I have copies of the email chain back and forth and can happily post/send those since it seems to be unclear on your end. Communication from your side was the opposite of timely, factual and professional. Citywide does not equate to blockwide and does not equate to "next door too." When we finally got someone to pick up the phone, they also indicated this had never happened before. One would think, in this situation, that management would make an exception to their existing policy. One would think management would've gone the extra mile to make their guests in house comfortable and at least inform them, versus making guests chase them down. We tried the front door "locking system" several times and it was never locked. Multiple times. Not secure by any means. I invite you to look at your own property. I would've never posted this review had management done the right thing. If I am actually reimbursed the "15%", I will happily inform others that one thing was truthfully conveyed. No need for a private conversation as I have nothing to hide. The pictures attached were precisely taken when we were told the whole city was out of power. Response from the owner 3 hours ago Dear Trish, Thank you for your feedback. We regret that your stay coincided with a regional power outage. While such events are entirely outside of our control, we did our best to communicate promptly and honestly with all guests. In the initial hours, the outage was affecting a significant portion of the city. Our first update reflected the information available to us at that time. Later, the impact appeared to be more localized, which we also communicated when we had more clarity. Regarding your other concerns: we were transparent in offering a full refund should you choose to vacate early, which you declined. Though our policy doesn't require any refund in such circumstances, we extended a 15% goodwill offer due to the disruption. Your statements about misrepresentation and disrespect are not supported by our records. Communication from our side remained timely, factual, and professional throughout your stay. As for the entry door, it is designed to remain secured with a code. If another guest left it ajar, we regret that, but the locking system was functioning as intended. We always aim to provide a positive experience and take all feedback seriously. Should you wish to continue this conversation privately, we are available. Sincerely, Christopher SW Beach Hotel Scenic171005

    This place is epic especially when you relate it to Hermosa Beach, a small quaint coastal town. We booked the rooftop deck for a company party and they provided support staff that we didn't expect who were helpful the whole night I treated two company team members to a room as a prize and they were thrilled to be able to get ready for the event at the hotel and have a place to retire to when it was over. The rooms are super, not huge but perfect for our expectations. We catered our event from outside staff and there was plenty of room for the food staff and guests. The fireplaces were a perfect touch to a perfect evening.

    Beautiful sunset

    We stayed here while visiting friends and we're so pleasantly surprised. This hotel is in the perfect location, right off The Strand. The rooms were so nice, clean and comfortable. The staff went out of their way to ensure that we had everything we needed. The rooftop patio has a view of the beach and was so elegantly decorated with fire pits and light up panels on the floor. I highly recommend staying here if you are in Redondo Beach. The price was good also for the amazing location. Thank you to the entirefor making our weekend such a special one!

The service here is next level and truly consistent across the entire property. The front desk team was phenomenal. Jasmine, Aaliyah, Chantal, and Latoya were all incredibly warm, professional, and welcoming. Every interaction felt genuine and thoughtful, and each of them contributed to the wonderful experience I had! I didn't catch everyone's names, but every single staff member I encountered during my stay was fantastic. It's rare to find a hotel where the service is this consistently great. They also gave some of the best local recommendations I've ever gotten from a hotel. From meals to my morning coffee, their suggestions were spot on. I now have a few new favorite spots in the South Bay thanks to them. Their knowledge of the area and where to eat is truly invaluable and made the trip even better. The valet also deserves a shout out. On the day I left, they went completely above and beyond. They actually came up to my room to grab my bags, and when I walked downstairs expecting to hand over my ticket, my car was already pulled up and waiting for me. My bags were already loaded into the car. It was such an over the top level of service and the perfect way to end the stay. The hotel itself is beautiful. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed, and having the ocean right outside your window is incredible. Stepping out onto the balcony and seeing the beach and water directly in front of you is such a special experience. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves at night and waking up to the ocean in the morning made the stay feel truly special. I also loved that they provide beach chairs and towels for guests, which makes enjoying the beach completely effortless. The kitchenette in the room was such a great touch as well. It made it easy to put together a little charcuterie spread and enjoy it out on the balcony while taking in the ocean view. And the bath was absolutely amazing..the perfect way to relax after a day by the beach. Yes, this is a pricier hotel, but it is absolutely worth every penny. Between the location, the views, the comfort of the rooms, and the exceptional staff, it delivers an experience that truly stands out. As someone who travels often, I can confidently say this is one of the most memorable hotel experiences I've had. I will be back!

Some areas of my hotel room need to be updated, plus the amount of noise between rooms and to the outside is unacceptable. Had trouble sleeping the first night because I practically heard every word from the guests in the next room. However, aside from that, it was clean, bed was comfortable, breakfast was fantastic and well-stocked. On a personal note, on weekends breakfast should go until at least 10, if not slightly later as some people like to sleep late. It was close to lots of things, the beach, restaurants, a pharmacy, grocery store and lots of restaurants. I walked a lot and it was great. There was always coffee/tea in the lobby, a little store off the lobby with some drinks, and snacks. A small fitness center and pool that I didn't use and limited free parking for one vehicle.

The parking lot gets completely packed at night time. When we came back from late dinner, we couldn't find any parking spot so we ended up parking in the only spot open which was for their elite members. I like how this hotel was close by to the beaches. We drove to my favorite which was the Manhattan Beach. They have complimentary breakfast, but we didn't go to it so no idea how it was. 3.5 stars
