Hotel Hermosa

"Hotel conveniently situated on the Pacific coast highway about a mile from the beach Hotel was clean and well maintained. A bit dated but that didn’t affect my stay. My room was very comfortable and was cleaned daily. Although situated close to road it was quiet. Staff were friendly and effective. Hermosa Beach is awesome with lots of restaurants and very clean. Off season didn’t matter as there were surfers, beach volleyball and lots of activity. I thought it was amazingly clean and that was appreciated. I felt very safe although not much of a police presence I loved my stay there and plan to return next year"

"The staff was nice and it’s in a great location if you have a rental vehicle it’s a quick drive to the beach. I think it’s 20-25 minutes to walk. Unfortunately, the bed and pillows smelled horrible. It was like a musty, mold smell. It kept me up a lot of the night. For the price we paid, I would’ve expected much more from the bed."

"Hotel itself is nice, and the bed was really clean and so comfy. However, I booked it on the promise of available breakfast and WiFi. WiFi hardly worked, it took five min to load a page, so not conducive to working. No breakfast available, only toast even though the night before they said we could get food. Road noise is really loud so bring earplugs. Probably wouldn’t stay here again unless I needed to get to airport. There is a coffee shop a few blocks away if you need food, it’s called Pure"

"I entered the lobby and observed one of the Hotel staff (Henry) being completely berated by a hotel guest. He remained extremely calm under the circumstances, and continued to provide excellent customer service with a smile. I felt terrible for him. Aside from this, the room I had was nice, clean, comfortable, and served its purpose. The sitting area outside is beautiful and has a nice view of the beach. I didn't visit the pool area, so I can't give an accurate opinion on that. If I HAD to gripe about something, it would probably be that most places I've stayed at have at least one bottle of complimentary water in the room, alas, this one does not. I need water to take my medications at night and it would have been nice to have that. Otherwise, my stay here was ideal. Henry alone deserves 5/5 stars."

"We booked this for the tail end of our trip (2 nights) and it was very okay! Like cute boutique hotel, but likely wouldn't stay here again. The location was very close to the beaches which was nice/ convenient and there was a parking deck which was nice. Breakfast is an additional charge. Lots of construction on the first floor with rooms blocked off for "contamination area". Made my anxiety immediately sky rocket, just because like.. construction?? Or something else. Our room had issues opening, constantly. We had to ask the front desk worker to come help us at one point, cause the door just wouldn't open. That was frustrating considering the cost, and we would stand outside our room for a few minutes every time trying to get back in. Bathroom lights are every efficient, although they didn't seem to work consistently and I'd say the bathroom lights / fan were on 95% of the time we were in the room with no real way to disable to energy efficiency. Road noise is loud as it sits right at a busy intersection. We didn't use the pool, so can't speak to that. But we did sit in the hot tub for probably like 5 minutes before getting out as there was an insane amount of foam that formed (I am guessing from the chemicals), but we have a hot tub at home and both were like nope, we're good and got out."
