Running a 20 room motel isn't easy and I'm sure the costs are high; but the motel succeeds by offering a lovely deck overlooking the ocean for perfect sunsets. The location is great. We never needed our car. We parked in the motel lot and stayed for 5 days. We walked everywhere in Manhattan Beach. Motel provided beach chairs, beach towels and even an adorable tote bag. Thats Ivana. You truly are just a bit up the hill from the ocean. It's as close as you'll get for the cost. The rooms are fine. Linens, towels fine. Kitchenette. Bathroom. Water pressure great. Just know that Highland is a very busy traveled street. Could it be spruced up? Sure. But think of it as the charm of being at the beach and the actual salt air. And Ivana and James will be sure that you have whatever you need. Be sure to call motel directly. Enjoy.

Belamar review…read more Overall a great hotel and , if I can secure a similar great price, I and my family will happily stay again! The highlights: - the staff were wonderful (all around). The front desk staff were courteous at every step in the process (check in, questions throughout stay, following up on a few small issues that occurred) and at checkout. The valet staff were wonderful. They worked REALLY hard to ensure cars were ready in five minutes (often less than that) from when you requested it (via text) and the restaurant staff was very courtesy and the food was good - Valet was quick (I can't emphasize this enough). I was slightly annoyed that it was valet only (with a rental car I get a wary of others driving) however they were fast, courteous, and kept the car cool for me. Also, I recommend paying for valet when you book as I had the option to buy $25/night parking instead of $45/night parking where booking on the Hilton app. - Use of the hotels bicycles was a major highlight. I rented bikes twice. At the time of my stay (May 2026) there were only four bikes. They are first come first serve so I recommend renting in the morning. They had baskets and came with locks and helmets for a very affordable price. The staff (especially Ozzie) was great at getting them quickly rented out to us and showing us the features (they are one speed bikes so they are basic but perfect for cruising along the beach). - The room was spacious, clean, and had a mini bar fridge in it (with the option for a full fridge and access to a microwave near the business center). I appreciated the ability to tip the staff virtually with credit card in case you don't have cash. - The restaurant was convenient, service was good, and the food was good - Noise level wasn't bad, I had a room facing the main road and wished I would have booked a courtyard room, however the noise was barely noticeable and never a disruption (I come from a city where I am use to ambient noise) The not so great things - For late night gym goers, the gym is limited to 6am-10pm (probably because the gym is beside several guest rooms and they want to be courteous to those rooms). However the gym is well stocked small gym (three treadmills, a peloton, and several different racks of weights and areas for stretching) - The hallways smelt a bit dank when I first arrived (although the rooms themselves smelt very fresh) and I noticed several automated deodorizers in the hallways (likely to help with this) and staff were doing a comprehensive carpet cleaning when I checked out so I would expect this not to be the case in the future. - The indoor/outdoor pool was a bit dated and didn't leave much to be desired, but it's an option.. for those who don't prefer the beach and there were towels available.

I would've actually gave four stars, but there was more than one incident with the outlet not working if it was only one time I would've gave four stars, however since it was twice and it was a little bit time-consuming when we had a dinner reservation we had to have them come fix it and we couldn't get ready Dampened our plans a bit. If you're a Marriott member, you can use your Marriott points and get half off on Parking which is nice. The room was clean however it is a little bit small. Also, we had two different times that the electrical outlet plug in the bathroom stopped working so we could not use our straightener. We had to call maintenance to come fix two different times. As well as to fix a light in the hallway in our room, they fixed it. It was a nice day. It just needs a little tender, loving care on the property and I'm happy that the staff was very nice. I would probably return for the price, but I just hope that they can work on their electric electricity/outlet problem.

We worked with Group Sales, Carline Vargas, and were delighted with all the friendly helpful staff and the clean and comfortable accommodations. Check in took a little longer than expected, but everything else was wonderful. Although there was no made to order food for breakfast, there was plenty to eat and a great place to gather in the morning. Each room had a full refrigerator and a 2 burner stove and plenty of dishes. The rooms with 2 queen beds were on 2 levels with 1 loft with a bathroom and a master bedroom with a closing door and bathroom. The hotel was accommodating with cribs and high chairs for the littles. There were 2 plexiglassed areas for hanging out with children and dogs near the pool with gas heat lamps and a bbq. The pool was a great temperature and the children loved it!

Shuttle runs 24 hours and is frequent look for Loft & Fairfield Inn denoted shuttles, and call the hotel so they know you will be waiting, should see a shuttle within 30 minutes. My room was in the Tower several stories up, this required a short walk to an elevator that was not initially easily found, and I'd suggest more intuitive signage, but it was found, and the tower design minimizes hall traffic outside of rooms. I was solo, and had no issue with the small bathroom counter, but I was also prepared for a cruise ship so I had a hanging shaving Kit so counter space needs were minimized. The room was standard, but I also packed a white noise generator so external noise would not be an issue. Bedding was sufficient, but I'd request on checkin for an additional blanket for both warmth and weight. The breakfast dinning room was large, and the morning offerings included Yogurts, Breads with a Toaster, Cereals and Milk, Coffee and Dispenser Juices, Cooked Liquid Eggs, and Breakfast Meats. The buffet was well maintained by staff, and though crowded as it opened, was less packed as the service progressed. There is also a microwave in this space. In a protected courtyard there is a pool, fire pit, and a 24 hour basic gym with ample towels. There is also a weekday early evening paid happy hour bar service. Across the intersection is Ralph's supermarket, where I picked up some sparkling waters, and snacks. there are also numerous dining options, IN N OUT, Polo Loco, Jersey Mikes, Subway, plus Deli, Chinese, Hawaiian, etc. stopped at IN N OUT, during my early evening visit the walk up counter had no waiting though there were a lot of cars in line to order and pickup. Parking was $40+ across the street, and not the cheapest local option if you will be using a car. But I wanted a shuttle pickup at LAX, some walkable shopping and food options, onsite breakfast, a clean and low stress evening making this a good choice for my April 2026 booking. FYI room pricing fluctuates.

Stayed here for two weeks for business, so I got a pretty good feel for the hotel…read more Let's start with the good: Luis, David, and the breakfast crew were great. The front desk and breakfast area have had a nice remodel, and there's a nice courtyard with outdoor seating and a "heated" pool. The pool was still pretty cold, but I guess it was warmer than the regular temperature. Breakfast was also a nice touch. It was great not having to find somewhere to eat every morning. You could simply walk downstairs and have plenty of options to choose from. Definitely a convenient perk. Now, let's get into the thick of things. The hotel looks nice when you first walk in, but the rest of the property definitely needs a remodel. Room #1: The AC was leaking, leaving a wet spot on the floor when we walked in. During a California heatwave, the AC wasn't working. We also found hair in the bathtub and around the bathroom. We had placed the "Privacy Please" sign on the door, so housekeeping didn't clean the room, which is completely understandable. However, I called the front desk to request fresh towels, and they contacted housekeeping to send some up. When the housekeeper arrived, the woman with short gray hair seemed extremely annoyed, as if we were bothering her by asking for fresh towels while she was at work. Not exactly the welcoming attitude you want from housekeeping. Room #2: The safety door latch was nonexistent, the bathtub was clogged, and there were dust bunnies everywhere. Maintenance did a good job fixing the issues, so thank you to them. Unfortunately, the next day, after coming back from a long day of work, we found bugs on the bed and on the floor around the bed. I was horrified. So, we had to move... again. Ugh! The elevator can be tricky. Between room #2 and room#3 the elevator near our room wasn't working for a couple of days, so we had to use the other elevator, which had a few steps we had to navigate with our luggage. Super annoying. Room #3: We were moved to a room facing the pool, which I guess was supposed to be an "upgrade." It was definitely loud when the pool was being used, but I didn't mind too much since I specifically picked this hotel because it had a pool. The room itself was okay. However, this AC was leaking too. By this point, our stay was almost over, and I really didn't want to switch rooms again. They do have a bar, but the hours seemed random. Every time I needed a cocktail after all the room moving chaos, the bar was closed. It No big deal I just ordered something through food delivery. Overall, the location was good, and there are definitely some positives, especially the staff. But the hotel itself needs quite a bit of work and updating. Would I stay here again? Probably not. I'll spend a few extra dollars and stay somewhere else next time.
