We wanted a central location for our family and friends trip that was to include sightseeing, baseball game and beach. We stayed for 5 nights. Being skeptical at first when looking for a hotel in the Manhattan Beach area, we all enjoyed this hotel very much and were glad that we stayed here. We went with 4 adults and 2... more

I've been a guest at the Belamar quite frequently over the past 4 years and have been welcomed and treated in a very professional and courteous manner. Never once have I had to contact a facility supervisor for complaint purposes. The Second Story restaurant has very good food, to include breakfast fare, pastries, and coffee. The restaurant staff is very... more

I used to live in this area (live in Chicago now) and remember when this hotel was Barnabey's. I was in Manhattan Beach for 2 days for an event and saw this hotel online. Prices were reasonable and the pictures and amenities looked great. What a delight when I entered the hotel! Free valet parking and the front desk staff... more

Like staying with family by the beach. The staff treats you like you've come home from a long journey. The rooms are clean, spacious, and very well decorated. The restaurant and bar is elegant and the food is excellent. The 24 hour valet parking is one of my favorites. Less than 5 mins to the beach, Hermosa Pier, and Redando... more

We stayed here for our 10th anniversary. It was for just one night and our first getaway in 5 years (we have small children). We picked it because of the location, we live down the freeway and didn't want to be far from the kids, but wanted something that felt different than a "hotel". Booking online we were able to... more

I needed to be in Manhattan Beach for a week on personal business and since I frequent Larkspur Hotels for business and have been more than pleased, I chose this hotel because of its association with Larkspur. The location is great, close to the beach, quiet residential area near Whole Foods, Pink Berries, Starbuck's, Barns @ Noble and other shops.... more

This isn't your usual hotel with lots of floors and crowded lobby. You'll feel right at home in this updated retro feeling hotel. Beautiful soft linens, robes and comfortable rooms. It has the same inviting environment that I have experienced at the Larkspur in Renton, WA. more

I was flying in late to LAX so I wanted to stay somewhere relaxing, clean and quiet for the night before my drive back to San Diego and this hotel is just what I needed! It is close enough to take a cab to (about 10 minutes and $18.00 plus tip) but far enough away from the yuckiness of the... more

Despite an odd location at the intersection of two quite busy roads, this is a nice boutique hotel which seems to have been renovated fairly recently. The rooms are large and well appointed with free wireless, nice decor and both a desk and separate table and chairs. I was totally unaware of the hotel's busy location when inside, but that... more
