La Playa Inn has a very convenient location, the rooms were clean, and overall, I had a good stay. The only area for improvement that I can think of is the bed was not to my preference. The mattress was really soft, and I prefer something a bit firmer. I'd give 4.5 stars if I could!

Loved this gorgeous, Spanish style hotel! It was conveniently located nwar State St., the beach, and 101 fwy. Unfortunately, there were some issues with our room; TV kept shutting off, and the remote for the TV seemed to also unintentionally control the the fan. Maybe cross wiring?! We had our fan replaced and TV repaired (remote still controlled both LOL). We were gifted a bottle of wine with a, "sorry for the inconvenience," card which was extremely thoughtful! All of the staff were friendly and courteous. There was a nice continental breakfast; muffins were hard, but the ham and cheese Croissants, and fruit were great! We were on the 2nd floor and the people above us were stomping around most of the night. I'd definitely stay at La Playa Inn, again, but request 3rd floor!.

The hotel was clean, staff was lovely, basically a bargain hotel. Not luxurious, no extras. Faux wood floors. It is a place to stay but in no way a vacation.

Decent location on one of the main roads into the coastal esplanade. Relaxed Mediterranean feel in common areas with terracotta patios and plants. Rooms OK - guess depends which one you get. Relatively small but clean bedrooms with Jim particularly stand out features. Beds raised on a strange metal frame. Parking included is safe, undercover and free - a refreshing change from the money making of others. Basic continental breakfast will set you off to a good start. Hotel walkable into SB, the coastal strip, pier, shopping inland and everything you’ll want to see.
