Staff was helpful & gave us good ideas on local restaurant for dinner.
Room was spotless. Parking below the inn at the rear. Street out front was busy & this room was on the street, but the price was less too! Great location. Fun to explore various well- known beach cities in the are.

You're right! Our unique location bordering the Ballona Wetlands is the perfect place for birders! It's also a great place to stay when you're in Los Angeles - we hope you felt that way too and look forward to seeing you again!
I love this Inn. It’s really cool to hear the frogs etc from the protected wetlands:-) My only complaint was my coffee maker didn’t work and I had to leave at 5am so there wasn’t anything I could do about it:-( Everything else was terrific.

We love that you enjoyed everything about your stay; from our location and rooms to our food amenities and your interactions with our staff! Thank you. We hope to see you the next time you travel to our area!
There is no stuff available at night hours if you arrive late. No drinking water in the room and the bathroom has no AC. The night stuff is very rude and hardly speak any English

Beautiful view of the Wetlands and Marina in the distance. The peacful quiet from the city was amazing. We slept with the patio door wide open. Very comfortable bed.

The location on the marsh is such a find in the middle of the city! And close to the beach and walkable. Wonderful staff and such great service. Room was large and well appointed. Wine on the deck was fabulous! Definitely recommend.

Amazing that this is in LA area. Feels like an ecotourism destination. Spotting scopes and photo book of birds seen right here in wetland. Extremely charming and comfortable Inn.

The property overall was very nice. When they say marina view-that means the city and not the water-you only see empty land behind

Thank you for taking the time to provide some feedback regarding your recent stay. We border a very unique piece of protected land, found nowhere else in Los Angeles, the Ballona Wetlands. This nature preserve is home to a myriad of different bird and animal species, some endagered. The main channel of Marina del Rey is visible in the distance. We're sorry your felt the description of where we're located was miscommunicated to you but we truly believe it is a peaceful and quite beautiful area.

We got a text and we're able to check in hours early. The bed was really comfortable. Lots of places to relax and hang out. Nice view out back. The breakfast were delicious and everyone working there was really nice and accommodating.

Our room was large and well appointed with a marsh view. It's amazing how quiet it is considering the freeway is right out in front.
Having been here before, it was disappointing to find that there is no homemade breakfast or cookies and all happy hour ingredients come out of packages. This is because the B&B is coming into compliance with new post- Covid city/state regulations but we did not know that before booking.

Thank you for coming back to stay with us. We are just waiting for a final inspection of our renovated kitchen by LA County and we'll be able to return to homemade breakfasts and cookies. We hope you'll return again soon too.
Stayed here before and it was fine. But that time my room was not on the road side, as it is this time. What seemed like a not so busy road transformed into a freeway at around 5:30am robbing me of some much needed sleep. Also, I don’t know how big a truck just sped past but the room physically shook. I’m not exaggerating. Insist on a room on the opposite side to the road if you’re considering this hotel. Disappointing for me and my friend that’s staying in the same room directly below me.

Thank you for your feedback. We've placed a note under your name that you'd prefer a room off the street for your next visit.
This is our second visit back to Inn at Playa del Rey. It is a lovely place. Clean and very comfortable. This stay was not as enjoyable as the last due to renovations being done and their kitchen being down. So that their breakfast and mostly the evening snack time was not the same and a little lacking. Do you hope it goes back to where it was for the next time we make plans.

Me and my boyfriend had an amazing stay in the grand view suite. Beautiful jacuzzi tub with bath salts. 4:00 pm snacks and selection of a complimentary bottle of wine. Great morning breakfast. View of wet lands from our balcony where a hawk they call Hedwig visited us. Magical!

We (and Hedwig) thank you for letting us know about your great getaway with your boyfriend! It sounds as though you took advantage and enjoyed most of what we have to offer guests and we hope you're able to get away to visit us again soon!
This was a very nice place and the room was also nice, but not as nice as I would have expected with the amount of money that we paid. We also expected that this would be close to the beach and it was not. It was in need of updating and the chair in the room was horribly stained. The tile was cracked around the jacuzzi and the fireplace paint was terribly chipped, but it was very quiet.

Great place to stay particularly if you have an early flight out of LAX the next morning. Quiet, comfortable room/bed, friendly staff, free wine & cheese on the deck in the evening, restaurants in walking distance, beautiful view northward over the Ballona Wetland toward the Santa Monica mountains (telescopes for use)
