You're right! Our unique location bordering the Ballona Wetlands is the perfect place for birders! It's also a great place to stay when you're in Los Angeles - we hope you felt that way too and look forward to seeing you again!

I love this Inn. It’s really cool to hear the frogs etc from the protected wetlands:-) My only complaint was my coffee maker didn’t work and I had to leave at 5am so there wasn’t anything I could do about it:-( Everything else was terrific.

Thank you for taking the time to provide some feedback regarding your recent stay. We border a very unique piece of protected land, found nowhere else in Los Angeles, the Ballona Wetlands. This nature preserve is home to a myriad of different bird and animal species, some endagered. The main channel of Marina del Rey is visible in the distance. We're sorry your felt the description of where we're located was miscommunicated to you but we truly believe it is a peaceful and quite beautiful area.

Our room was large and well appointed with a marsh view. It's amazing how quiet it is considering the freeway is right out in front. Having been here before, it was disappointing to find that there is no homemade breakfast or cookies and all happy hour ingredients come out of packages. This is because the B&B is coming into compliance with new post- Covid city/state regulations but we did not know that before booking.

Stayed here before and it was fine. But that time my room was not on the road side, as it is this time. What seemed like a not so busy road transformed into a freeway at around 5:30am robbing me of some much needed sleep. Also, I don’t know how big a truck just sped past but the room physically shook. I’m not exaggerating. Insist on a room on the opposite side to the road if you’re considering this hotel. Disappointing for me and my friend that’s staying in the same room directly below me.

This is our second visit back to Inn at Playa del Rey. It is a lovely place. Clean and very comfortable. This stay was not as enjoyable as the last due to renovations being done and their kitchen being down. So that their breakfast and mostly the evening snack time was not the same and a little lacking. Do you hope it goes back to where it was for the next time we make plans.

Good but not as good as I thought it would be.
This was a very nice place and the room was also nice, but not as nice as I would have expected with the amount of money that we paid. We also expected that this would be close to the beach and it was not. It was in need of updating and the chair in the room was horribly stained. The tile was cracked around the jacuzzi and the fireplace paint was terribly chipped, but it was very quiet.

Not the place it used to be
I was very disappointed in my overnight stay at the Inn at Playa del Rey. I had stayed there many years ago and always looked forward to going back someday. The biggest disappointment was the breakfast. They have posted excuses for not being able to cook in the building until permits are squared away, but that shouldn't mean the breakfast has to be so cheap and meager. If they are using a caterer, they should offer more than cold pancakes with faux maple syrup and overcooked scrambled eggs, especially at this price. Also the A/C in my room wouldn't stay on, and as there's no one to ask for help after 9 PM except for emergencies, I had to sleep with the windows open because the 3rd-floor room was very hot. The traffic noise was unbearable. The description says they can't guarantee quiet, but it did not say anything about some rooms being right in front of a busy intersection. I'm sad to say I won't be back.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean and comfortable with a charming nautical theme. The dining room and lounge areas are also clean and charming, with a nice view of the wetlands oout back. Relatively close to beaches and Marina Del Rey. Drawbacks were limited parking options and some street noise in the street side rooms. While there are a couple of decent dining options nearby, you'll need to drive a bit to find the best options.
