Manhattan Beach Marriott

I stayed at the Marriot Manhattan Beach this past weekend because it was within stumbling distance to the venue I was going to be celebrating my cousins retirement.
Efficient check-​in. Even though the front desk clerk was in training he got me checked in quickly and early as I arrived two hours early.
My room was large and clean. I had the city view vice the nicer golf view but hey I was just gonna sleep there. The bed was a dream. I could have holed up in there for days. So comfortable. A nice desk, a couple of chairs, light colors, all very breezily styled.
The lobby had ample seating areas which came in handy for my family gathering to get caught up while we waited for the stragglers to arrive. Bar is pricy as you would expect from a hotel but the drinks were all high end. Very delicious hand made margarita!
Outdoors has nice seating areas and some surrounding fire pits. All on a golf course and a lake view.
Pricing for the hotel seemed consistent for the area. Only downer was the parking fee $ 27.00 per night? I know many hotels do this but it irritates me every time. Fortunately my husband has handicapped plates so we can park in those designated areas free of charge (if any available) but otherwise you have to pay the bucks.
I enjoyed my stay here and would definitely choose the Marriott again.

Great location and absolutely beautiful grounds. My husband and I came in from south Orange County and were pretty impressed on how quiet and secluded this hotel was from all the beach traffic. Our room was clean and comfortable and had a large balcony over looking the golf course. The bar lounge area was welcoming with comfortable couches and plenty of TV’s. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Staff was pleasant and accommodating.

Watch your charges at this place. I booked through Priceline, but upon checkin, the front desk clerk swiped my card three times, saying there was something wrong with her machine. Come to find out, she was charging me for the room (which was already paid in full). The fees for parking and wifi are ridiculous, so we didn’t even stay for the whole pre-​paid visit. The hotel is nothing to write home about.
Oh, and still waiting for them to reverse those erroneous charges… I wonder how many calls I’ll have to make in follow up to get that cleared up.

I really enjoyed my stay, perfect location for shopping/​dining/​drinking in Manhattan Beach. Totally lives up to the brand.

I was with the Fire Department for 24 years and we celebrated 10 of us retirees at the Manhattan Beach Marriott. Of the Marriott Hotels I’ve been to, this is the best location for relaxation and comfort, even for a banquet. Parking is free on the street after 6:00 PM, and the hotel usually has free vouchers if you did park valet. The surroundings are very cool, as you can hear the frogs at night, singing their songs in search of a mate. There’s alot going in Manhattan Beach, with of course the beaches, but also shopping, eating along the Rosecrans restaurant row, and plenty of bars that string along Highland, going into Redondo or Hermosa Beach. The food was done quite well for a banquet, and had free wine for each table. The night was a little chilly, so the heat lamps came in handy. I on the other hand was quite warm with the wine and a slight roasting from the Fire Marshal. It’s amazing what a little booze does for a party! No pictures per code of ethics…

Absolutely wonderful stay! Perfect spot if you want to go to places we did. Hollywood, Venice Beach, Redondo Beach… Very clean rooms. Parking is $ 27 overnight and you use your room key card to get in and out of parking lot. Hospitality was awesome. I just love how Marriotts always have fruit water in pitcher down in lobby. I didn’t make time to walk around but just from looks of front, lobby, pool area… This place is well kept.

Switched to this hotel after having a less-​than-​stellar experience at another hotel in the area. Super friendly staff. Everyone I encountered was eager to help and able to meet my requests. Check-​in was a breeze even though I arrived an hour early.
I would say the rooms could use a little update, but the bathroom was nice and very clean. The bed was comfortable – I did have some noisy neighbors who slammed the doors several times throughout the night (but that’s not the hotel’s fault).
The food was good enough, nothing to write home about… but satisfying enough. They have a weekend brunch, and although I’m not usually a breakfast person, I did enjoy it. There’s a Starbucks next to the lobby (very important for me to get some coffee in the morning).
The fitness center was adequate and clean. I’m a runner, so my biggest issue with hotel «gyms» is when the treadmills are old or cheap. They have health club quality equipment, which was nice.
When I called the front desk requesting a late check-​out, they were more than happy to accommodate me for a very reasonable fee.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed my stay and would return again.

No restaurant. Expensive parking. There is street parking but sign says, no overnight parking. I would guess Marriott put those up. The food at the «bar/​restaurant» which does not have a name, we surprisingly good and heavily portioned. We received a vouch for food and ordered all sorts of things form the menu. The grilled cheese with short rib sandwich was a short rib sandwich with a slice of cheese. But bad but not quite what was billed. Great location.

Nice place to stay at Manhattan beach in the middle of the city and not too far from the beach. Gives a decent look at the entrance and rooms are very nice too. Valet parking is only $ 5 more to self parking so if some one chooses valet it is not leg and an arm .:). The checking was fast and lobby has a full bar. Meeting rooms on second floor to conduct business. What else do you want?

Clean hotel, awesome location (10 minutes from the beach), and friendly staff. I had an order for breakfast in my room, and it arrived promptly as scheduled — if they’re late, your meal is supposed to be free. For some reason, room service always tastes amazing — maybe because it’s delivered straight to your room? With a smile, I scarfed down my entire plate, consisting of eggs over medium, grilled ham, asparagus, potatoes, and toast, and enjoyed it with tea and orange juice.
The gym is open 24 hours and has a view of the pool. Parking costs $ 24 per night, which is pretty pricey, considering there’s street parking available outside. Be sure to ask for a view of the golf course when you check in, because I had a view of the parking lot from my room, which just isn’t very impressive.

Priceline $ 85/​night
Had a great overnight stay and definitely a fan. They had a ton of amenities that we didn’t have time to use including new fitness center, pool, and a beautiful golf course
Pros:
–easy to get to location
–very courteous check in staff
–close to nearby drug store/​grocery/​shopping and freeway
–10 minute drive to Manhattan Beach
–soft and comfortable bedding
Cons:
–parking costs were $ 24/​night — on par for a place like this… But there’s free street parking two blocks from the hotel by the mall. Make sure to read the signs, some say no parking from 2−4am for street cleaning!

I recently stayed 1 night here at this marriott and it was great! From the valet attendants to the front desk staff thay were all fabulous! I didn’t have much time to explore the grounds but i find that the location was in a perfect spot to LAX. Tbere are a ton of restaurants nearby and also quite a bit of my favorite stores (trader joes, whole foods, costco, anthropology) near by.
My room was perfect clean and on the larger side… it could use a little face lift but other than that this place was awesome.
The view overlooking the golf course just added to the awesomeness.
**awesome staff Paul at the front desk and Michael at valet**
Thank you very much for making my stay very welcoming! I am glad the price was right and i made the right choice.

I’ve been to LA now 5 times… never to Manhattan Beach so this was my first stay in the area and first stay at this hotel. Manhattan Beach is very close to LAX and a solid choice when staying in the LA area, if you want away from the craziness of Hollywood and what not.
My friend works for this hotel chain, so they comped us our parking fee for the two nights we were staying… we got in so late due to a delayed flight, this was greatly appreciated!!!
Our room was very spacious… clean, and had a golf course view. The décor at this place might need some updating, but overall it was very nice.
The fire alarm went off the second morning we stayed here… well, it wasn’t exactly an «alarm» it was a very annoying blinking light in the room. I wasn’t sure if it was a malfunction, or what but people didn’t seem to be in a hurry to evacuate — after a little time we decided to just go to the pool. Oh, the pool… such a pretty view there! It’s on the small side, seating is limited so get there early if you plan on making a day of it. Late afternoon got pretty packed when we walked past that area later.
Yes, you do have to pay for parking but parking is plenty in the lot here. There is also a gift shop, starbucks coffee bar, and restaurant.
If I visited this area again, I would definitely visit — it’s conveniently located off the expressway, a few stores, a coffee bean, and about 15 minutes from downtown Manhattan Beach/​Manhattan Pier/​the ocean.

I stay at this particular Marriott before leaving from LAX all the time:
1) The hotel is pretty good about Platinum upgrades
2) The rate is very similar to the Residence Inn’s in the area; yet, this hotel is full service and not as much riff raff.
3) The restaurant breakfast is actually pretty tasty
4) No airplane noise; but still close to LAX, OC, and the freeway.
5) Grounds are well maintained
6) Awesome, friendly staff.
Seriously guys, this Marriott is a great value. Sure, it may not be the most up-​to-​date, but neither is the Marriott LAX and this hotel is far nicer.

We were looking for a place to watch Golf and decided to check out the bar here. The staff is friendly and got us seated right by a TV. We ordered a couple of drinks and the bread pudding dessert (yum) and had a relaxing afternoon. The bar is right in front of a hole (don’t know which one), and it was quite funny watching people hitting their balls into the water (unintentionally, of course).

First timer at this hotel. Raphael at the front desk took such super care of me — making sure my beginning of my stay started with his excellent service accommodating my needs. He along the bell desk staff were quick to assist and I would recommend this hotel if anyone plans to come down this way. Hotel is beautiful with a view overlooking the golf course, hotel room is clean modern and spacious !!
Big plus is the 24hr fitness with separate spas! Lol

Stayed here twice in the last two months, for two or three nights each. It’s a well-​maintained hotel and the lobby area is very modern, comfortable, and inviting. The staff did a wonderful job of accommodating our group of two hundred, in addition to all the people who basically slept/​camped out in the lobby for the last night.
Rooms aren’t the most updated, but they’re comfortable. You can ask for a fridge and you should ask for a room with a balcony view overlooking the golf course. i didn’t get to stay in my room much, but it’s a really nice amenity to have. Gym and concierge lounge are also nice. Concierge lounge has desserts in the evenings. oh, and the fruited water in the lobby was the best! One day I swear it tasted like starburst. :O
In all the hotels we stayed for national bargaining, this was by far the nicest and the food was great too. Definitely recommended for conferences. I hope we book more of our events here for sure!

I’ve really enjoyed my stay here. All the staff is friendly, helpful, and professional. The lounge on the back patio overlooks the golf course and it’s just very serene and relaxing. The bed was super comfy and the room very clean.
I wish the room came standard with a refrigerator, but I didn’t ask if there was a charge to have one. I’ve notice that Marriott are very inconsistent with fridges. In Oakland, it’s already in the room. In Union Square San Fancisco it’s not in the room, but they will provide one free of charge. In Anaheim, they charge $ 25/​day for a fridge. I didn’t ask this time.
The restaurant is delicious, but if you want more options or more inexpensive choices there’s a strip mall in a 2 – 3 min walk. It’s literally on the other side of the Marriot’s parking lot. There’s a high end grocery store with a remarkable café serving breakfast and lunch, plus a ton of other restaurants and a CVS. Those little things matter when you’re traveling!
I would definitely stay here again.

Long hallways but great bar nd pool that overlook the golf course. Seems to have many high class working ladies that are peppered about or maybe the clientele are just overly friendly?!

Good:
— the location. Right in the heart of the town is Manhattan Beach. Surrounded by shopping malls and good restaurants. Close to the famous Redondo and Hermosa Beaches.
— the hotel has a golf course as well.
— staff was courteous.
— Lobby was nice and lofty. They have a decent bar at the main lobby level.
— standard concierge lounge with standard fare for breakfast and small bites, salads and desserts in the evening. But after having stayed at several Marriott’s, the food was just A ok.
— we stayed in a suite on the #50 line which had good views of golf course.
Bad:
–they have some elevator renovations underway, so the corridors are somewhat noisy. Tip: get a suite away from the elevators.
— $ 21 parking per night. That’s a little steep!
Overall, a solid place to stay if one wants to stay close to the ocean and away from downtown LA.
