Sea Sprite Ocean Front Hotel

Disappointing Experience at This Overpriced Beach Hotel My stay at this beachfront motel was extremely disappointing, especially given the premium price of $600 per night in July. The accommodations were more akin to a budget motel than a luxury beach hotel. Upon arrival, we found sand on the floors and in the beds, despite not having visited the beach yet. This indicated that the room had not been properly cleaned before our check-in. Furthermore, the sheets had visible stains, and the supposedly "freshly changed" pillowcases were equally dirty. The air conditioning was another major letdown. The in-wall units were broken and replaced by a large, clunky portable AC that barely worked and was incredibly loud. The constant noise drowned out the soothing sound of the waves, which was one of the main reasons for choosing a beachfront hotel. Adding to the discomfort, the hot air exhaust from the portable unit was poorly managed, with a large tube casually hanging out of an open window, allowing the hot air to seep back into the room. Our rooms windows faced the alley. We heard the drunks partying into the night and were woken to the trash truck collecting dumpsters early the next morning. Given these issues, this hotel did not live up to its hefty price tag or its beachfront allure. Next time, I will choose a less expensive hotel a few blocks away from the beach and pay for daily parking instead. It’s clear that a cheaper option with better cleanliness and working amenities would provide a much more pleasant stay.

We had a great time staying at the Sea Sprite for a friend’s birthday celebration. The hotel was clean and the service was good. The location was amazing, right on the beach. I would definitely recommend staying here for vacation at the beach

The place was in front of the beach with comfortable rooms. Just perfect for us.

Surprisingly spacious, very clean, free parking and an enviable position on the beach. It’s a great place to come and decompress.

My husband and I stayed in a Junior Suite ocean-front room on the second floor of the Sea Sprite Hotel. (We were in town to see a Madonna concert in Inglewood on Saturday, 3/9/24.) The view from the room and balcony is amazing. We watched beach volleyball and other beach activities, marveled at the morning exercisers walking on the boardwalk, and just enjoyed being part of the beach scene for awhile. The hotel is located just one short block south of the plaza containing numerous shops and restaurants. Highly recommend!

This was a great hotel in an awesome location. We will be back! Huge room, perfect weather and perfect view!

Aside from being so close to the beach, everything else is subpar. The sheets to use for the pull out bed were stained. There are no clear directions on how to use temperature control. The keys stop working before checkout time.

Loved the area, the staff was super. Just a few things like the room smelled very badly like bleach, the sink faucet breaks off, and the shower handles are hard to figure out, the pillowcases were a little dirty. But the view, the location is amazing, and the staff is very friendly.

Great location, great service, great view! We truly enjoyed our stay here and look forward to coming back in the near future.
