I stayed here about 6yrs ago, I guess I didn't leave a review after my stay, so here I am now... I stayed for 4 nights, right before July 4th and I had a good experience. I originally booked for 2 nights, but ended up needing 2 more nights and they were able to accommodate me, fortunately I didn't have to switch rooms. My room was spotless clean, the bed was clean and comfortable, the bathroom was also spotless clean, nothing felt gross. I was surprised to find a mini-fridge in my room, and it was clean! The AC was cold, but I barely used it b/c the weather in Cali was so nice compared to the soul-consuming, oppressive humidity of Missouri that I had just left behind, but I digress... There were zero bugs, zero noise from other guests (I was on the 1st floor), no drama happening anywhere really, maybe the hotel was dead at the time of my visit, but it was quiet. The staff was fine and they left me alone. I was actually pretty worried about my hotel choice b/c I was traveling with very little funds, but for $98 (6yrs ago) I was happy with everything.

Owners are very nice. The gentleman is always checking guests cars for their safety. Making sure nobody bothers the guests stuff. Rooms are clean and the area is quiet. I'd definitely come back to stay. It's worth the money.

Really enjoyed my time there. They were very responsive and it's a very clean place. Very close to a lot. There's even a Laundromat across the road that's very friendly

This place was so much better than I expected (under new management) the price is unbeatable, the beds are comfortable, the showers are updated and nice, and all around everything was clean. The owners/staff are really friendly and I had a great experience. It's close to a lot of restaurants within a short walking distance, great for people from out of state. I recommend staying here the night before your carnival cruise or if you want some time at the beach during your stay (:

Perfect for a short stay. Clean, good-sized room, and a solid location within a 10–20 minute walk to most places. Was a little noisy at night, however, so were most places in downtown LA at night.

We rolled in on our bikes with wife’s seizure service dog. Friendly staff, very clean and updated room. Bed was just right for us. We own 3 short term rentals and are very impressed with their attention to cleanliness. After 10 years of cleaning our rentals we know the hiding places for dirt or hairs, and so does Beach Inn staff. Well done!

Basic rooms, the beds are okay but I liked the staff! The most cheap hotel in the area that’s ACTUALLY clean! We took those city scooters to get around and I found that to be so convenient!

It's fine. What you'll expect from a budget motel. Not sure why they call it Beach Inn Motel. Is it an inn or motel? Definitely not an inn IMO. Rooms are clean and decent.

Stayed for 2 nights during a convention. The room was beautiful! Extremely comfortable, large room with great amenities like large shower/bath, Large TV, strong wifi, fridge, and microwave. The location was great as it was walking distance from the beach, convention center, aquarium and other great restaurants/businesses in the area. Front end was kind and helpful, providing any supplies we needed. Price was also very affordable and competitive for the area. Overall, my fiance and I had a wonderful experience and look forward to future stays here!
