“Unexpected Gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Have visited the Beach House many times. It is an unusual blend of great architecture, function, and understated personality. The third floor ocean front rooms are worth the extra expense. The Beach House is a place that you can spend most of the day in your room watching people, the ocean, and the views. It's a god enough place that I feel guilty exposing this little gem.

Room Tip: 2nd or 3rd floor ocean front is worth the extra.

“Location, Location, Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

You can have a lot of fun staying here. It's on the beach and surrounded by nightlife. The rooms are clean. The staff used to be nicer, but I think they are a little understaffed these days and the stress is showing in the customer service. If your entire vacation itinerary is going to the beach during the day and then going to bars at night to mingle with the beautiful people, you won't even need to rent a car if you stay here.

Room Tip: If you are a light sleeper, ask for a room on the second floor or above.

“Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Love that this hotel is right on the beach and the strand is steps away. Location is 5 star with everything you need steps away.
Rooms are like a mini condo. Gorgeous, tastefully decorated & well appointed with everything you need. A fireplace, fridge, microwave, glassware, plasma TV and sitting area with a private balcony, desk area with wi-fi and even a rubber ducky in the large soaker tub!
It felt like a mini home away from home.
Continental breakfast was included and the breakfast area was a nice place to sit and plan out your day.
My only beef was the expensive parking, if you rent a car on your trip there is really no getting around the valet parking as the lots and parking around the hotel are hard to get and very pricey.
My room was in the back building facing the lobby and the alley / parking area, the hot tub was under us so it did get noisy from time to time. If you can afford an oceanfront room do it, sitting on your balcony watching the sunset would be amazing.
I would stay here again.

Room Tip: Oceanfront if you can!

“Another wonderful stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

This was our second stay at The Beach house and it was, once again, a wonderful stay. The view from the top floor rooms are spectacular and if you request a corner room when you book, if its possible, they will accommodate your request.

PROS: The view of the water, the closeness of the Strand, soundproof walls, comfy beds and linens, nice size fridge to store your own food and wine, fine restaurants within walking distance. Very close to the airport. Housekeeping is excellent. Outstanding sunsets.

CONS: The continental breakfast and breakfast room leave much to be desired. If you are lucky enough to be the only ones, or its nice enough to sit outside, it's not so bad, but if there are more than a few people having breakfast, the noise level is a little too much for first thing in the morning. There are fruits, breads, pastries and bagels, but only 2 choices of cereal, Raisin Bran and a mixed-nut/flake cereal. Much more enjoyable to walk a few feet to Good Stuff Cafe right beside the hotel. It would be great if Beach House worked with Good Stuff to provide some kind of coupon for use on those mornings when the in-house breakfast room is too crowded. Alternatively, you can always grab something and run back to your room for peace and quiet.

If you like to read in bed, bring a sleep mask for your partner. The lights above the bed are interrogation-bright.

The rooms have fabulous LG televisions but the reception is really bad. In these days of high definition television, I don't understand why only a fuzzy, analog feed is available. I mentioned it to the front desk, but nothing came of it.

All-in-all, it's a gorgeous property and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and can't wait to return!

Room Tip: Highly recommend top floor ocean view rooms - corner rooms have side windows.

Dear Friends from Toronto: Thanks for your visit to the Beach House Hermosa Beach and we do hope you will come back for another wonderful stay. We apologize for the crowded breakfast room, and yes, when we are full sometimes it is a bit hectic. We keep it open late and work to keep it fully stocked, as well as offer trays to take to your room and enjoy coffee and breakfast on the patio and balconies. But, we understand when it is crowed and work on keeping it stocked and do appreciate your mention. Also, our televisions are new as you stated and now we have fully HDTV cabling which was just completed in early February. Next time, you will find the reception much more agreeable as we were in the middle of the switch of cable service in January and some of it was a bit fuzzy. We have this corrected so do come back for another visit. Thanks again and I look forward to welcoming you back.

“Very nice hotel on beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

Rooms are nice, not huge, but I think that is normal for the area. Very clean. Beds are comfy. Walking distance to some great restaurants. Breakfast is continental, are not great. We went out for breakfast each morning.
