Los Angeles Beach Hotels

The hotel is positioned in a convenient spot of Hermosa beach, 3 minutes drive to the beach and close to many restaurants, plenty of options of fast foods, CVS, Walgreens, Targets and While food in case you prefer to grab some snack to spend the day at the beach. The personnel was super friendly and always available to meet our needs: the rooms were very spacious and we needed an additional roller bed, they brought right away for a minimum additional daily charge. Parking was included , number of parking spots adequate, sometime difficult to park but due to the fact that some guest was parking not very well, it required a couple of additional maneuvers but nothing impossible. At Breakfast we found a good variety of food, I would have loved some more fruits (bananas and apples only), only room for improvement the number of seats: we had to consume our breakfast on the sofa in the reception a couple of time but it wasn’t terrible and we took it easy not trying to avoid the crowded hours, manageable. In conclusion a perfect base to explore the coast and LA (30-40 minutes drive to Hollywood), safe place with all comfort for a family trip. Our rooms were facing the main road and they were a little noisy very early in the morning and until late at night, but we were so tired for the day that we didn’t pay too much attention, just ask for rooms not facing the street in case.

The location is perfect. They ask for a credit/debit card when checking in. Kitchen is closed from 10pm to 7:30am. It’s also comfy to get there by bus from the airport and to get by bus/metro with connections to almost anywhere. They also are ok if you’ll aborder a package in the lobby. Room is sweet and has a shower. Beds are with curtains. There’re shelves and sockets in each bed. Hostel provides towels and shampoo/body wash and conditioners. Lockers are small, so the suitcase won’t fit, but it’s okay for valuables. Breakfast consists of bagels, toast bread, granola bars, oranges, tea, instant oats and butter. There’s only fridge, no freezer. Target/trader’s Joe is where Santa Monica is. Hostel has a wending machine with snacks and there’s a small grocery in the next building. The only thing is that I lived there for 3 days and rooms wasn’t cleaned (floor and bins). It caused full bins and dusty floor. All other hostels I stayed in, cleaned every day.

My stay at Hyatt Regency Long Beach was absolutely fantastic! From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, professional, and eager to make my visit memorable. The room was beautifully designed, clean, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Waking up to the stunning views of the harbor was such a treat! The location is unbeatable—right by the waterfront and within walking distance to great restaurants, shops, and attractions like the Aquarium of the Pacific. Overall, the Hyatt Regency Long Beach exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

Upon our check-in the reception that we got, my wife and I was very poorly attended to. Firstly the hotel receptionist who checked us in that night was very blunt, rude and had no personality at all! There was no pleasant greeting whatsoever. I felt like she was just rushing to get us in. No hospitality whatsoever. :-) Secondly, the wooden floors in the room were sticky and there was no hand soap at all by the sink. I'm writing this review so your employees can be trained efficiently to better serve travelers alike. Also, it wouldn't hurt once the rooms are ready, a supervisor needs to walk through the made-up rooms to make sure everything is ready and in place for their guests when they are ready to check in! Especially if you're going to pay for such nightly costs, it should also come with the professionalism of its advertising!

My wife and I visited Catalina Island for our 28th anniversary — our first time back since before we were married in 1997. We chose the Catalina Canyon Inn specifically for the pool, jacuzzi, on-site restaurant, and shuttle service. Their website is very nice and seemed like a perfect match for the occasion. Unfortunately, very little matched what was advertised. Shuttle: The shuttle was not waiting at the Catalina Express port when we arrived on the last ferry Saturday evening which was unexpected. Four of us were left waiting in the dark for about 20 minutes until the other couple called the hotel. The driver was friendly and apologized, but this set the tone for the weekend. The shuttle was consistently unreliable throughout our stay. They tell you to call the driver directly, but he often didn't answer. You'd end up having to call the hotel instead, and the shuttle only seemed to come after someone went inside and told the front desk in person. At one point we waited 45 minutes. Some guests got frustrated and just decided to walk, but the hotel sits at the top of a steep hill — not a realistic option, especially for older guests like us. Their website suggests the shuttle runs regularly, but that was far from our experience. Restaurant: We arrived at the restaurant at 7:30 PM Saturday and were turned away, even though their website says they're open until 8:00 PM. We had to rush down the hill to find dinner to-go in town before the shuttle stopped running at 8:45. It was a shame we didn't even have time to stay and eat on our anniversary or face having to trek up that hill. The next morning I mentioned this to the restaurant owner, who insisted they closed at 8:00 and that she was there. She then told us the restaurant closes at 2:00 PM on Sundays — so dinner there that night wasn't an option either. She was very friendly though I must say. On Monday we finally had breakfast before checkout. The food was mediocre and didn't match the glowing reviews at all. The prices were also odd — $12 for mozzarella sticks, $20 for nachos, but only $11 for pulled pork sliders, which you'd expect to be the pricier item. The pricing just didn't add up. While we were there, another couple was turned away at 1:30 PM because the restaurant closes from 2–4 on Mondays. We could feel their frustration. Jacuzzi: The jacuzzi we were looking forward to was covered up and converted into a gazebo with chairs. At first we couldn't find it but yea. No mention of this on the website. Room issues: The soap dispenser in the shower was empty. The front desk told us we can mention it to housekeeping, who didn't come until after 5:00 PM. We got the soap and a couple fresh towels. The towels themselves were thin and didn't dry well overnight so fresh ones were sorely needed to get at least one shower in with soap before we had to leave the next day. The TV didn't work at all, and the microwave was unplugged — though I was able to fix that myself. The hotel also doesn't offer complimentary coffee, which is standard at most hotels we've stayed at for half the price. The good: The staff was friendly, the bed was comfortable, the A/C worked well, and the balcony was a nice touch. The room was quiet. Bottom line: The website gives a very different impression than what you actually get. Between the unreliable shuttle, limited and unpredictable restaurant hours, missing amenities, thin towels, and no coffee, this was not the anniversary experience we hoped for. I'd recommend staying somewhere closer to downtown so you're not dependent on a shuttle and stuck with limited options. I think we need to redo our anniversary. It was a miss for sure.

Conveniently located & very clean! Service was wonderful, friendly, and I’m especially thankful that they were so accommodating to travelers arriving very early from the airport!!

The location of the hotel is fantastic—just a 5-minute walk to the Santa Monica Pier and 2 minutes to the beach. There's also a Starbucks only 5 minutes away. The shared balcony offers a stunning view of the beach and the promenade, which was one of the highlights of our stay. The building itself is two stories, and while the rooms were clean, they were quite small. The beds were also small, despite the description stating that the room could accommodate up to four people and that the bed was double-sized. Unfortunately, the bed was too small, and one of us had to sleep on the floor. The price was very high, but I assume that’s because of the prime location. Despite these drawbacks, it’s worth staying here for the convenience and cleanliness. The receptionist was very accommodating and allowed us to check in early at 12:30 PM, even though check-in officially started at 3:00 PM, which we really appreciated.

Facilities: In normal condition. Hygiene: Good. Service: Extremely poor experience. The deposit was only canceled after more than 20 days. The parking fee was advertised as $20 USD per night, but they actually charged $27 USD, overcharging by $7 USD. The parking lot management is chaotic. Around 5 PM, I went to the underground parking, and there were many empty spots, but various signs were hung everywhere, prohibiting parking. I ended up parking in an employee spot. Even though my license plate was registered with the hotel and I had paid for parking, they still asked for a parking permit, which the front desk hadn't even provided. The room rate charged by the hotel didn't match the order, overcharging by more than $30 USD. The overcharged amount was later refunded after coordination with Trip.com.

Fantastic hotel with friendly staff. Convenient location next to a few large malls. Less than 15 minutes drive to LAX. Rooms were well furnished and decorated. Will recommended.

I was booked a King size bed when the web page turned up. I have booked 4 nights before this. I asked Alexandra to update my booking and extended the same room for another night. She said it’s fine and our room cards extended. Unfortunately, when I double checked with Luis, Mexican staff in the morning of 1 November 2024. He said that I have booked a Queen size and it was unlikely we could get the same for the last night. He added that we had to change to a queen bed room. We were preparing to go to downtown right now for the Dodger Parade.  We had to pack our luggage in a hurry and move to a higher level room. It didn’t give a us a good start of our day at all. My question is: why did Alexandra not telling me that we were not going to have the same room when I talked to her  about extension of another night? Or, we did get the same room but Luis did not follow and made us a hard time? Please investigate and improve the service in future!
