    • This is a small, independently owned inn. It's up the hill only a few blocks from the beach. Many of their rooms have ocean views. The owner is named Hal and he's a really nice guy... he also owns the little breakfast place next door called "The Local Yolk".

    It has a pool which is very unusual for Manhattan Beach, but I don't imagine that it gets much use because the beach is so close. Also, they have beach cruisers (bicycles) for you to use while you stay there. This is a great perk, because you can ride on the beach along the strand all the way down to redondo or up to marina del rey. I live near by and ride my bike all the time and i think it's one of the coolest things to do if you're visiting. But I must say, pushing the bike back up the hill takes some getting used to.

    • Any room here is fine! I love the luxury suite @ $200, but they have less expensive rooms which are just as great, if you're on a budget and/or travelling solo. Pool, yes...but, hopefully, you'll jump on one of the free bicycles and ride the Strand, or pick up a complimentary towel and beach chair for a sunny day at the beach...a block away! They even will hook you up with kid's stuff, like sand buckets and shovels.

    Staying here feels like you're a local. Close to great inexpensive dining...El Tarasco, Beach Pizza (not just pizza), Beach Hut--Ron has been serving great Hawaiian chow for over 20 years!--especially, great grub after early morning surfing!

    Easy access from Manhattan Beach to Hermosa and Redondo Beaches...and, beyond.

    Regardless, of your budget...you can find affordabiltiy or extravanganza!

    Sea View Inn at the Beach: disappointment in Manhattan Beach, CA    Check Rates

  • By recben on January 16, 2007
    • We spent a sunny weekend in Los Angeles revisiting old haunts. But I sure wish that we could have stayed in my old apartment, too, because the Sea View Inn was a big disappointment. First of all - no sea view (other than a sliver of one across a noisy buy road and between the buildings and the utility lines). Secondly - management tried to charge us multiple nights for multiple rooms because we upgraded upon check in. And when we complained we got this classic line: "I don't make mistakes. I'm the manager." It was a lousy way to end our vacation.

    The "Sea View" Inn is at the northern end of Manhattan Beach halfway up a steep hill from the ocean in several buildings that appear to have been acquired and converted over time. Local Yolk is the name of a good breakfast spot, Pancho's is an over-the-top Mexican restaurant (central room full of fountains, plants, Mexican paintings, etc.), and there are a couple of good bars called Sharkeez and Harry O's. But the best shopping and restaurants are an inconvenient drive (and then fruitless search for parking) away in either downtown Manhattan Beach or in the much younger and livelier Hermosa Beach. Those places have the same beach that Sea View Inn enjoys (actually better, because of pretty piers to walk out on) and much more to do within convenient walking distance. If you're going to stay away from the action then I would recommend the Manhattan Beach Marriott for more (and more professional) services.

    • Good stay. Helpful staff. Free bike loaners for rides on the strand. Not absolutely quite since it's located on one of the busiest streets in Manhattan. Still, not too bad.

    small pool. Located right on Highland Ave. Decent breakfast place next to lodging.
