Friendly, charming, great location. The room was absolutely spectacular and the view was unbelievable - being able to casually look at the wildlife preserve from our balcony was truly a treat. We also loved finding two hand written notes welcoming us upon our arrival, along with some champagne, chocolate, and homemade cookies, all to celebrate our anniversary.

They had amazing appetizers and wine in the afternoon. Breakfast was delicious to say the least: four cheese egg casserole, strawberry cream cheesecake, fresh fruit, etc.

We also valued the free use of bicycles and helmets to cruise along the beach!

All of these things were great but the absolute best thing was the service. Everyone was very friendly and they even upgraded our room for free (even though we got the groupon deal and paid much less than the regular rate). We loved everything about our stay and hope to be back in the future.

Charming, quiet, enchanting, and delightful... A real treat. Ten minutes from the airport, in the Ballona Wetlands which were miraculously saved from the jaws of commercial development, this jewel of a hotel transforms an LA trip into a peaceful respite. Picture a breakfast room that opens to the wetlands, with china and a delicious meal (at no extra charge), a living room for relaxing. Each hotel room is entirely different and decorated in a seaside cottage style with art, great bathtubs and interesting layouts, wonderful bedding. You are greeted with homemade cookies waiting in your room and a welcome note signed by everyone on the staff. Easy parking at no cost right by the elevator. This inn gives new meaning to the expression: "a home away from home". Expect wonderful and friendly service; you'll get it at the Inn at the Playa del Rey!

BEST PLACE TO STAY!!. I was so dleighted to stay here. I've been to many B&B around the country, and this is my favorite one. Their service and cleanliness is impeccable. They make great food, and are walking distance from cute restaurants and cafes. I also biked to the beach everyday! I highly recommend this hotel for any family or couple!

A secluded, New England-inspired inn set on a bird refuge--only in L.A.. The Scene
Who knew there's a 200-acre bird sanctuary right in L.A. (just ten minutes from LAX), let alone a quaint, East Coast-style inn nestled into it? Formal rose gardens unite with casual coastal hospitality close to the beach, and the inn even offers the complimentary use of bicycles for pedaling the 30-mile path that runs along the sand through Santa Monica and up to Malibu.

The Details
Each of the California-by-way-of-Cape Cod guest rooms is an eclectic showroom, with canopy beds, Amish quilts, Jacuzzi bathtubs, fireplaces and spacious balconies for bird and sailboat watching. A full complimentary breakfast is offered each morning; during the afternoons, guests converge in the inn's sitting room or on the large sundeck, where the innkeepers serve coffee, California wines and lemonade squeezed from their own trees. Forget about Sunset Strip and discover how the rest of L.A. lives.
