Booked a partial ocean view room months in advance for St. Paddy's day and because the rooms were "sold out" the night before, I got a room on the bottom floor facing the parking structure which had NO view of the ocean whatsoever. Every time a loud truck drove by or crazy party goers strolled through, we heard it. Not only that, the room was not ready at check in time and the front staff (Tea in particular) was horribly rude when asked about it. Will not stay here ever again.

kinda pricey, but worth every penny. the rooms are big and beautiful, it felt like a large apartment. it's got everything you want for a beach side hotel getaway. it's walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. rent a bike and ride to manhatten or redondo peir. i recommend mckormicks for good food and happy hour. club sushi....yummy. and the nightlife go to blue 32 or the lighthouse. stay away from the dragonhouse...horrible music and expensive watery drinks (2 nights in a row). o yeah...dont forget zippys for great pizza and beer. you would love it here, deffinitly better than the oc beaches.

Cool place to stay if you really want to be a part of the Hermosa Beach life. You are right on the beach, views of the ocean, and great fun just outside you doorstep. Check it out! Great for first time visits to the area.

The Beach House is one of those rare finds that you come across only occassionally. Beautiful simple design throughout that is neither ostentatious nor cookie-cutter boring. The Beach House has amazing rooms that are incredibly comfortable with great amenities like a complete stereo system (not a wimpy portable), a comfortable couch, jacuzzi size bathtub and an in-room fireplace. Their definition of "partial beach view" is a bit of a stretch when your room is ground level on a street with cars parked directly in front of your window but the perfect facilities quickly made up for that. I'm sure all the locals know about this hotel but I was glad I stumbled across this gem in time for a relaxing day at the beach.
