Manhattan Inn & Suites

Budget-Friendly Comfort Just Minutes from the Beach and Music

Modern simplicity meets coastal convenience at Manhattan Inn & Suites, a no-frills but well-situated motel just off Highway 1 in Manhattan Beach. Less than 2 miles from the Manhattan Beach Pier and only a 10-minute drive from LAX, it’s the kind of place that puts you close to the action without the downtown chaos. Expect clean, basic rooms with essential comforts like free Wi-Fi, microwaves, and mini-fridges, plus the bonus of free parking—a rarity this close to the beach.

Why Concert-goers love it

With its easy access to major roadways, late-night Uber pickups are a breeze after a show. You’re close enough to popular live music venues in the South Bay and West LA without paying a premium. The 24-hour front desk makes late arrivals or post-concert check-ins simple. Rooms are tucked away from the main road, making them surprisingly quiet for a restful night after the energy of a live performance.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends sharing a room to save cash
- Solo travelers catching a must-see artist
- Couples looking for a simple beachy weekend with live music
- Fans who prefer quiet recovery after a show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t need fancy extras

Food and Drink Options

While there's no on-site restaurant, the motel sits just a 4-minute walk from Manhattan Village Shopping Center, which offers plenty of casual dining spots and coffee shops—great for a late breakfast or post-show cravings. Rooms come with microwaves and fridges, ideal for snacks or leftovers. For late-night bites, nearby fast food and diners stay open well past midnight.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find a hotel bar here, but Manhattan Beach’s nightlife—including laid-back pubs, beachside lounges, and live music venues—is just a short ride away. It’s an easy Uber or Lyft to the action, and you’ll appreciate the quiet retreat when the night winds down.

What People Say

Guests praise the cleanliness and value for money, especially given the location. Many highlight the friendly, multilingual staff and the convenient free parking. Travelers also love the quick access to both the beach and LAX, making it ideal for short stays before or after a concert.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are basic and a bit dated, with limited frills. If you're looking for luxury or modern decor, this might not be your vibe. Also, no elevator means stairs may be a factor for some. But for the price and location, most guests find it’s a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

Manhattan Inn & Suites is a smart, budget-friendly pick for concert-goers who want clean comfort, easy venue access, and a quiet place to crash after the show.
