What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 278 guest reviews
The Inn at Playa del Rey earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with guests consistently charmed by its warm, attentive staff, outstanding breakfast, and daily wine-and-cheese hour set against a rare urban wetland backdrop. The main recurring drawback is road noise for street-facing rooms, and a handful of guests noted minor maintenance and housekeeping lapses. Overall, it is widely regarded as a hidden gem and a restful retreat near LAX.
