What guests think

Sea Sprite Beach Club draws travelers for its unbeatable beachfront location in Hermosa Beach, updated rooms with ocean views, and generally friendly service, yet reviewers note noise from the Strand, occasional maintenance glitches, and spotty communication around accessibility and fees.

Room highlights include modern decor and spacious layouts in some units, though reports mention uneven A/C or plumbing, lighting quirks, and layout or view mismatches versus expectations. Service is frequently described as friendly and accommodating, but there are recurring complaints about accessibility (no working elevator), strict policies and billing issues, housekeeping misses, and confusion when booking through third parties. On-site dining and bar areas are popular yet inconsistent, and parking is available but often comes with extra fees. Expect a lively beachfront stay with great views and some trade-offs in quiet and consistency.

Maybe the reservation warned about major construction on property but I didn’t see it. The entire area where people can usually relax off the beach was unavailable and torn up, which was my entire reason for staying there.

The air conditioning did not work in living room area and was hot during day. Parking was for one car with a 2 room unit and $25 per day which should have been included. Otherwise loved being right on the beach!

Staff was polite, especially housekeeping and valet. Housekeeping was readily available and professional as well as valet. The view from the room was very nice. The rooms were very well kept and clean. They had a very nice large patio area out front but it was used as a restaurant and bar and tended to be quite noisy towards the evening as customers came in and out. So the patio wasn’t really available to the guests staying at the hotel unless they were dining or drinking. There were some rooms available with balconies and if I were to stay again I would definitely get a room with a balcony. Also, they did close the restaurant at 10pm and enforced quiet time after that. All in all a very nice stay.

nice rooms, great amenities. Beautiful views of the ocean. We enjoyed our time so much. We were not informed about the extent of construction, and the property having no place to sit down - no lobby - was a drawback.

We've stayed here for many years. The refurbishment is nice and the rooms are clean. Staff at the hotel are lovely, but the management is not great. Very much get the feeling they don't care about repeat business. Right on the beach which is great and next to a ton of shops and restaurants. Parking is pricey so keep that in mind as it's not part of your booking bill.

Beautiful, ideal and cozy room. Incredible view of the beach and ocean waves. Spacious balcony. Everything we needed was within such a short walking distance. Great restaurants nearby that remained open at Christmas. Parking is super accessible and close to the building. Valet and front desk were nice and accommodating. Also pleased with the ability to use screen mirroring so we could enjoy Netflix and YouTube when it was raining outside. Had an issue with some outlets not working in the room but maintenance was very quick to arrive and add an extension cord for the microwave and espresso maker. Discovered afterwards that the outlet by the vanity mirror was also not working. We didn't feel like making another maintenance call. But this made using hair appliances difficult as this was the only mirror in the suite. Also, it would have been nice to have a door or some partition between the bedroom and living area for a bit more added privacy. The Surfer Girl restaurant offered pleasant and quicker service than expected. Food was awesome. Very beautiful ambiance. We're definitely coming back to stay!

Great location right on beach. Booked accessible room, for 2 x 3 night stays at beginning and end of our trip, queried lift and assured there was 1 to get my husband to 1st floor. Messaged Hotel to ask if I should amend/upgrade to ground floor. No response. Lift not working and hoped it would be amended by our second booking, told it had never really worked .Managed stairs but not easily, please do not take bookings if you cannot meet accessibility needs! Also, noisy room (room 3) told it was something to do with kitchens!! Not worth the price if you require any assistance but Ab Fab if you are able bodied but please DO NOT report to have accessible rooms unless you only offer ground floor

Very fresh, clean location at the seaside. Super friendly right from the first phone call we made to the check-out process. The only thing we couldn't understand was why the room wasn't freshened for our second day; it somehow got skipped. But they quickly supplied more coffees and fresh towels to try to make up for it. We will certainly stay here again!

This hotel is in a fabulous location across from the beach and close to restaurants. There is parking which is great in those beach communities even if u have to pay for it. The people working there were terrific and very helpful! While the room was beautifully decorated and furnished, I felt it could have been cleaner. There was mildew around the shower and on the shower curtain, we had a hand towel with a yellow stain on it, the TV wasn’t working and there was a used coffee pod left in the coffee maker. Overall I would still highly recommend this hotel!!! Just need to do a few small things in the cleaning department .

We stayed in an oceanfront suite. It was beautiful and had newer renovations. Two sets of doors opened to the shared patio and then you can walk right out onto the beach. Be aware if you are noise sensitive that we could hear the people above us moving around. It didn’t bother me, but if you are sensitive you should stay on the top floor.

Absolutely amazing! Not sure I would pay extra for the “balcony” again. There was no furniture to sit in so we didn’t even go out in it. I also gave it one less star for how bright the room was at night. No curtains and just shutters with bright LED lights in all night blaring into our room. If you can deal with the brightness or at least pack a sleep mask, I highly recommend. Beautiful little property, amazing guest service, and a perfect location.

The property was beautiful however the staff weren’t friendly. We walk by smile and say good morning and they’ll just walk past us with straight silent faces. I was given a “drink on us” card and when I went to the restaurant area to claim the free drink she looked at me with a very confused look and asked if I was a guest at the hotel. They have other ethnicities working there which were pretty friendly but the majority were Caucasian and seem to discriminate us heavily.

Check your bill folks. Several wrong charges. Have tried to reach desk and property manager 4 times to get resolved. Used phone, text, and email. Deposit not refunded as of 11 days after checkout. The property is convenient to Strand, but it is very loud, and items in the room didn't work. Can't recommend this spot at the pricepoint they are attempting to be at.

Great little place. Incredible location. If you can splurge, do so and get one of the ocean view rooms. I had one overlooking the strand and across the beach to the ocean. Though you will hear some people outside during the night, it was never loud. Very comfortable beds. Nicely renovated bathrooms, and friendly staff. But the primary reason to stay here is the location, which can't be beat. And it's Hermosa Beach. Big, beautiful, clean, tons of eating and drinking options right around the corner, and definitely stroll down the strand for breakfast at Martha's.

We had a partial ocean view room on the 2nd floor and the view was great. Our balcony faced the alley entrance to the beach so we had an unobstructed view of everything. The room was simple but clean and the location can’t be beat. We didn’t try the food at the hotel restaurant but sat outside in the bar area and it was relaxing. It is definitely one of the nicest beachfront hotels on that strip. Valet service was prompt. We didn’t request any special services but the front desk staff were friendly at check in. Would recommend.

Met with a group of 8 friends who went to school together in Gardena back in the 50’s for a reunion. I’m the only one who moved out of the area (New York). The Sea Sprite was the perfect location because we all frequented Hermosa Beach as kids. The accommodations were great, the staff friendly & helpful and the outdoor patio had plenty of seating with a fire pit and an amazing view of the beach/ocean and the sunset! Even though we’re all in our 70’s, we agreed that we will have to go back again.
