The Spotlight on The Sea View Inn At The Beach

Chill Coastal Vibes, Just Minutes from the Music

Modern and relaxed, The Sea View Inn At The Beach is a breezy boutique hotel nestled just two minutes from the golden sands of Manhattan Beach. With surf-town charm and easy access to LA’s buzzing music scene, this spot is ideal for anyone wanting the best of both worlds—seaside tranquility and high-energy shows. Just 3 miles from LAX and close to major highways, it’s a convenient base for concert-goers flying in or road-tripping to catch their favorite artists.

The hotel offers free bikes for exploring, a refreshing outdoor pool, and rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and some with sea-view balconies. Whether you're recovering from a night out or gearing up for one, this beachside gem has you covered.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a favorite for music fans thanks to its quiet coastal location that’s still a quick drive to major venues in LA, Inglewood, and Santa Monica. After a loud night, unwind in your room or take in the ocean breeze from the sun terrace. It’s just 3 miles from LAX, making late-night arrivals or early flights easy. Though check-in isn’t until 3:00 PM, the laid-back staff is often flexible, and the relaxed pace of Manhattan Beach offers a perfect post-show wind-down.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a chill pre- and post-show hangout spot
- Solo travelers catching a dream concert and wanting beach time too
- Couples turning a music night into a romantic weekend
- Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space with ocean air
- Budget-conscious music fans who still want comfort and a great location

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel is surrounded by walkable local eateries—perfect for grabbing a bite before or after a show. Several spots nearby offer late-night dining, and you’ll find great breakfast joints within a short stroll for those much-needed post-concert brunches. Each room has a fridge, ideal for storing snacks or leftovers.

Nightlife Options

You’ll find laid-back bars and lounges just a few blocks away, many with ocean views and local craft drinks. Want more action? A short ride-share gets you to Hermosa Beach’s buzzing bar scene or the concerts and clubs of West LA. The hotel itself maintains a peaceful vibe, perfect for winding down after the show.

What People Say

Guests love the superb location just steps from the beach, the friendly and helpful staff, and the clean, comfortable rooms. Many appreciate the easy parking and proximity to LAX, making it a great pick for travelers flying in for concerts. The free bikes and beachy neighborhood also get high marks.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that the rooms are a bit on the smaller side, and the décor is more classic beach motel than modern luxury. There’s no elevator, so those with heavy luggage may want to request a ground-floor room. Still, most agree that the charm and location more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

For concert-lovers wanting a relaxing beachside retreat within easy reach of LA’s top venues, The Sea View Inn At The Beach hits all the right notes.

Pleasant

Liked: Staff quite efficient and responsive. Bicycles and beach stuff a plus.
Disliked: They describe unit as “Luxury Suite.” Not! Slightly stained carpets, aging bedspread, tiny dated coffee maker, standard sheets, and sagging mattress - absolutely nothing in it about this unit that could be characterized as “luxury.” This family style motel is in a sleepy small commercial district over a mile walk from downtown Manhattan Beach.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Close to the beach with...

Liked: Close to the beach. Good amenities like free beach chairs and bike rentals. Easy walk to multiple good restaurants. Most of the staff were helpful and friendly. Some of them offered us water bottles every day, but then one of us told us the water was for staff only and wouldn’t give it to us (the tap water tasted nasty).
Disliked: The room was tiny and very worn down. The floor was warped, paint was peeling, mold growing along the baseboards. It was probably the smallest hotel bathroom I have ever seen, and we have traveled a lot. There was no counter space or storage in the bathroom at all. We paid extra for an ocean view but had the room right above the office which was on the street, so really only had a partial view of the ocean in the distance which was disappointing. It was so noisy from the road we had to sleep with ear plugs. The bed and pillows were very uncomfortable with thin, cheap bedding. The pool was supposedly heated but too cold to use. The $25 per night parking charge seems steep for the area as well.

Very decent, great location .

Liked: I loved the location , the beach my decor, the bed was very comfy, nice shower, friendly staff.
Disliked: Old, creeky, you can hear all the people on top floor, the cleaning staff were so loud in the morning and you can hear everything so I’m guessing very thin doors. Building is in need of a slight remodel it was on the older side when you look at the details but overall a decent place right by the beach.
