The Scene – Tall panes of glass give way to muted walls, furry rugs and blush-colored sectional seating areas in the main floor lobby. Stainless-steel railings and portraits of Chihuahuas in regal settings add an element of modern whimsy. While there isn't an ocean view, the hotel features a central garden courtyard made available to private parties and weddings. A sanctuary for budget-minded guests, many flock to its address looking for an almost-beach location in close proximity of downtown Manhattan Beach and LAX. – – The Details – Formerly known as Barnabey's, a…

Great Setting for Weddings
by grahamandgraham at Citysearch
As a Manhattan Beach wedding photographer, we love documenting events at the Belamar. The courtyard setting is a really cozy setting for a wedding, guests really enjoy themselves, and don't have to travel far afterwards to the next door reception.

Worst hotel in LA, save your money and spluge elsewhere!!
by eg1462008 at Citysearch
Yes the hotel looks "cool" HOWEVER, the Tranquil room was so small we could barely fit 2 suitcases and ourselves in the room. The picture made the room look much bigger. wE could barely move around our 2 bags and what we had in them. The hotel did nothing about it and didn't care.
You also cannot self park, it's all valet parking and a real pain when you need your car to come and go-lots of tipping for parking.
The bathroom was so small we only had room for 2 towels, no place for personal items and a charge for EVERYTHING INCLUDING ROOM TO ROOM CALLS!! i WOULD SPEND THE $300 AT ANY OTHER HOTEL BUT THIS ONE, TRUST ME!!!!!!!

Lots of money for so-so
by imim at Citysearch
Service was great the valet, bartender and waiters but the food was unimaginative and below average for the price. The cocktails were good but of course over priced as well. When booking for my room I asked for a view of the pool...I did...and I got a view of the BUILDING that the pool was in!!
Bed was very comfortable but was awakened by the sound of the cleaning lady next door at 8 a.m. the next morning!!
You can definitely find a better deal for the same amount of $!!
- Pros: Great service
- Cons: too much $ for too much so-so
