When I go to the beach, I want a true "beach hotel." I found this gem by accident, just walking down the strand (sorry TripAdvisor!). It had such a great location, such a great view of the ocean, I was afraid that I could not get a room without a reservation. To my happy surprise, they did have a room,... More

The Sea Sprite has the perfect location and if it were polished it would no doubt be out of many of the reviewers price range. With that being said, STILL expect less and you will be happily surprised by the views and the convenience. The hotel itself is ROUGH and the housekeeping really poor (we stayed a week and they...

We've been going to the Sea Sprite for 10 years and love it. All the previous reviews have got it right about the view, the Strand, the beach, the restaurants, library, post office etc. The service and staff are the best. The rooms are spare but just the thing - lying on the bed on the third floor and watching... More

No frills but GREAT location and amazing value!! Right on the water for less than half the price of a high end hotel near the water. Rooms are always very clean and the staff is always helpful.right next to the pier and pavillion loaded with bars and restaurants.

Honestly, rolling up to this motel I was a little sketched out. Hermosa Beach is a lovely area, but a cheap motel on the beach I was thinking that it was going to be icky inside (we needed a place to crash after a long day and our other plans for the night fell thru). The rate was good, the... More

My husband and I planned a month long stay in the Hermosa-Redondo Beach area and wanted to have a bit of space, cooking area and be close to the beach. This was a great find - we can walk to the library, the grocery store, multiple restaurants and in a minute have the bicycle on The Stand for a ride... More

When I first arrived I wasn't sure at all what I was expecting. ( a friend of mine told me I should stay there and when they said it was right on the beach I was sold). Yes it is a older place, but if you actually do you research on a place before you stay there then you would... More

It is year 6 of my family going here each summer. Again, its not the Ritz Carlton, and if you are expecting that then you can probably do yourself a favor and not be a cheap *** and go book a room there. If you like the beach, the partying that goes with it. If you like great food that... More

Check in time is 3 PM. We weren't given our room until 4:30 PM. The room was average. Talking to the people at the front desk was a terrible experience. When we returned home we recieved a call from the bank that someone had stolen our credit card number and spent over $1000. Won't be back ever.
