This place is newly renovated and the rooms are beautiful. Wait staff needs work. Takes a long time to get orders in or for them to take an order. Ordered things and never got them. They need a bell hop to help older people with bags and to find rooms not just point to the location. At these prices service needs to be top notch. Menu can be more varied with food selection. Needs kid friendly portion/foods. Maybe in a few months these issues will get better. Nice place though.

The room was clean and fresh and the staff was extremely helpful. If you bring a car, there’s a daily valet fee as there is no parking. Location is perfect! Right on the strand with easy beach access and within walking distance to Manhattan Beach to the north and Redondo Beach to the south - all from the paved strand. Lots of restaurants nearby. Hotel restaurant is great, too. Super close and an easy drive to LAX. The hotel rooms surround the restaurant so there’s quite a bit of noise even in the middle of the night. Not sure if it was cleaning or maintenance. Overall, we had a fantastic time!

Great view right on the strand, hoppin bar and restaurant with good food, friendly staff. Had a couple of issues that took a couple of days for the staff to resolve. Bathroom filthy and probably not cleaned in a couple of years. Vanity and sink in the room with a separate enclosed toilet and shower. Difficult for two people.

The staff was friendly and extremely helpful. We came around 1am in the rain and was assisted by the staff outside with parking in the lot down the street and he helped us take our bags out of our vehicle and up the stairs to our room. The room was extremely clean and well maintained and the view was awesome. We got to open the blinds and have breakfast looking at the beach. The only complaint would be that their drains need to be flushed due to bacteria making it smell like sewage (I work for a water company). We thought it was coming from the water, but I checked the shower and no smell, and checked the sink drain and it was coming from there.

Beautiful, ideal and cozy room. Incredible view of the beach and ocean waves. Spacious balcony. Everything we needed was within such a short walking distance. Great restaurants nearby that remained open at Christmas. Parking is super accessible and close to the building. Valet and front desk were nice and accommodating. Also pleased with the ability to use screen mirroring so we could enjoy Netflix and YouTube when it was raining outside.

Had an issue with some outlets not working in the room but maintenance was very quick to arrive and add an extension cord for the microwave and espresso maker. Discovered afterwards that the outlet by the vanity mirror was also not working. We didn't feel like making another maintenance call. But this made using hair appliances difficult as this was the only mirror in the suite. Also, it would have been nice to have a door or some partition between the bedroom and living area for a bit more added privacy.

The Surfer Girl restaurant offered pleasant and quicker service than expected. Food was awesome. Very beautiful ambiance. We're definitely coming back to stay!

I stayed at the Sea Sprite on Hermosa Beach for a couple of nights before heading to my daughter’s place, and I can’t say enough good things about it. The entire experience was fantastic. The rooms are beautifully upgraded—modern, fresh, and beachy in the best possible way, without feeling themed or corny. Every detail felt thoughtful and well done.

The restaurant on-site was a standout. Absolutely incredible food and atmosphere, and such a treat to have something that good just steps away.

What truly made my stay memorable, though, was the staff. Every single person I encountered was friendly, attentive, and top notch. They made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived.

If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, style, great food, and genuine hospitality, Sea Sprite is a gem. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat. In fact, I can’t wait to stay here again!

Everything started well. Around 8 PM our TV started resetting like there was an issue. Around 9 p.m. decided to go to sleep. I guess there were power issues the air conditioner/heater would make beeping noises every 3 to 5 minutes for about 30 seconds. I went to front desk and there were five other couples complaining about power to their room. Etc. Waited for Manager to show 20 minutes and left my number for them to text me. They never resolved the issue until two in the morning. Was not a good night sleep I guess SCE was working in the alley finally after talking to someone in the morning, they try to blame it on them I couldn’t believe I paid 400 bucks for one nights day and they didn’t care about making things right. The front desk lady took my number and email and said she would pass it to the manager. The power went out at 9 AM in the morning so we had no heat just to warm it up a little. Couldn’t even find valet to get my key.

Pros: The property is on the beach. It has a bar and restaurant. Rooms were clean. They Had beach chairs and bikes to borrow. However, it is a very noisy place. We were there on the weekend. All rooms enter from outside. Our room was over the patio bar area and the music was loud and you could hear conversations and lots of people walking up and down steps all hours. The walkway lights were bright and shined through the room blinds all night. Rooms were dark. No lamps or overhead lights in main area. Our last night an alarm and flashing emergency lights went off outside at 1:30AM and continued until morning. There is not a regular coffee pot, no ironing board but there was a steamer and the blow dryer was terrible.

WARNING: Deceptive Advertising & Zero Accountability from Hotels.com

Do NOT book through Hotels.com — they are deceptive, dismissive, and completely unhelpful when their listings turn out to be false.

I booked a room through Hotels.com (Reservation #73230688635600) that explicitly stated “sleeps 3.” Based on that, I included one additional guest beyond the two adults listed. When we arrived, the room had only one bed and no rollaway, sofa bed, or cot — meaning it could not possibly sleep three as advertised.

This is false advertising and a breach of contract. Hotels.com misrepresented the property, and when I reached out for help, they refused to issue even a partial refund. I spent hours on the phone with their so-called customer service, only to be met with indifference, runarounds, and empty apologies. No resolution, no accountability — nothing but wasted time and frustration.

Hotels.com offered absolutely nothing to fix their mistake, even though they admitted the listing said it “sleeps 3.” They clearly do not vet the accuracy of the properties they promote, and once they have your money, they simply don’t care.

This is not just bad service — it’s deceptive and an unethical business practice. I will be reporting them for misleading advertising under the Federal Trade Commission Act and state consumer protection laws.

If you value honesty, transparency, or basic customer service — avoid Hotels.com at all costs. Book directly with the hotel instead. You’ll save your

Beautiful property on right on the beach. Great sunset views, good food and spacious rooms. If I have any gripes, it would be as follows:
- Room could have been cleaner, particularily the floor
- Our Refrigerator needed repair, it had condensation on it that dripped on the floor during our stay. We reported it but it didn't get fixed
- They need to dim the outdoor lights in the overhead lights at night. Room does not get remotely dark with them on fully.
- Restaurant is a bit loud on the weekends if trying to sleep.
- When using the upstairs patio to relax, we felt like second class citizens as the wait staff wanted paying patrons there.

I would definitely return, the above items did not interfere with our stay that much, but if they had been better this place would be that much more of a gem.

Where are the balconies and patios? Only in the pictures did I see them... If they were not on the beach, I am sure the reviews would be different. I booked the family suite via Expedia and upon arrival was charged fees not listed in the confirmation, and was fooled by the pictures and accomdations as what was suppose to be two queen beds and bunk beds, plus a sep sitting area is actually one queen bed within 1ft of bunk beds and a sofa that turns into a queen.... eliminating both the 2nd queen bed and seperate sitting area. I am not sure where these balconies or patios are but they aren't visable anywhere apart from the photos. I went to the front desk to show that what was booked did not match the room provided and if there was anything larger available...not only did they tell me that there was nothing else avail, but upon looking up availability on MY own phone I saw that they did have another room and I had to show the front desk to prove that there was.We were able to move into a \"double family room with partial ocean view\"....partial ocean view is a joke considering that you have to walk outside to see the ocean. The staff was not friendly nor helpful considering they clearly wanted nothing more than to end their shift and not provide any service upon arrival. Expedia and the actual hotel website do not match and I am very unhappy with the entire experience.

During our recent trip, we stayed at an exceptional hotel that truly exceeded our expectations. The spacious room comfortably accommodated our family, featuring modern decor, a plush king-sized bed, a large flat-screen TV, and a balcony overlooking the ocean. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring our needs were always met. The hotel’s amenities, including a swimming pool, spa, and on-site restaurant, made our stay even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Hermosa Beach area for a relaxing and memorable experience.

Messaged Hotel to ask if I should amend/upgrade to ground floor. No response. Lift not working and hoped it would be amended by our second booking, told it had never really worked .Managed stairs but not easily, please do not take bookings if you cannot meet accessibility needs! Also, noisy room (room 3) told it was something to do with kitchens!! Not worth the price if you require any assistance but Ab Fab if you are able bodied but please DO NOT report to have accessible rooms unless you only offer ground floor

We've stayed here for many years. The refurbishment is nice and the rooms are clean. Staff at the hotel are lovely, but the management is not great. Very much get the feeling they don't care about repeat business. Right on the beach which is great and next to a ton of shops and restaurants. Parking is pricey so keep that in mind as it's not part of your booking bill.

Staff was polite, especially housekeeping and valet. Housekeeping was readily available and professional as well as valet. The view from the room was very nice. The rooms were very well kept and clean. They had a very nice large patio area out front but it was used as a restaurant and bar and tended to be quite noisy towards the evening as customers came in and out. So the patio wasn’t really available to the guests staying at the hotel unless they were dining or drinking. There were some rooms available with balconies and if I were to stay again I would definitely get a room with a balcony. Also, they did close the restaurant at 10pm and enforced quiet time after that. All in all a very nice stay.

Good Choice for Beachfront Hotel

We had a partial ocean view room on the 2nd floor and the view was great. Our balcony faced the alley entrance to the beach so we had an unobstructed view of everything. The room was simple but clean and the location can’t be beat. We didn’t try the food at the hotel restaurant but sat outside in the bar area and it was relaxing. It is definitely one of the nicest beachfront hotels on that strip. Valet service was prompt. We didn’t request any special services but the front desk staff were friendly at check in.

Hermosa Beach, where the property is, is a lovely beach town!
However this hotel still feels like a cheap motel (stayed there 10 y ago when it was a motel) and is not worth paying $2,000 for 4 nights. The nice front desk lady was ready to leave when I arrived past 11pm, and did her best in helping me with the luggage (while one only young man stayed at the main door). The nice lady managed finding me a couple of (dirty, with black hair!) mini fleece blankets; later I came out and asked for a \"real\" blanket, and the man at the reception was rather unpleasant. The heater did not work (and at the beach, at night, it can be cold); the next day, nobody in the hotel knew how to stop the ceiling fan - so decided to cut short my stay and leave.

Beautiful stay, non-friendly service.

The property was beautiful however the staff weren’t friendly. We walk by smile and say good morning and they’ll just walk past us with straight silent faces. I was given a “drink on us” card and when I went to the restaurant area to claim the free drink she looked at me with a very confused look and asked if I was a guest at the hotel. They have other ethnicities working there which were pretty friendly but the majority were Caucasian and seem to discriminate us heavily.
