Ayres Hotel Manhattan Beach Hawthorne

“A hidden gem!! A castle.”

What a gem this hotel is! It's absolutely stunning. It's even better than the pictures. Everything here is breathtaking..from the ornate rooms with real wood plank floors, Victorian wallpaper and gorgeous, deep wood furniture to the castle-like hallways and lobby. Even the restaurant looks like a castle. The service is phenomenal and the food is great. The veranda, complete with stone architecture and statues overlooks the courtyard where there is a fountain in front of the pool. I can't say enough about the beauty of every detail in this place. The hand carved wood beds were very comfortable and the rooms allow you to regulate the temperature from 90 to 58 degrees. It is in an urban area with Costco right across the street so it seems out of place. But once you walk through the doors you are transported. It's about 15 minutes from downtown Manhattan Beach where you can shop and walk down to the water. And it's only 10 minutes from LAX.

We planned 2 days/ nights at this hotel,after seeing the photos online we were very thrilled to stay at thia unique hotel.we arrived and were amazed by the check inn hall... ut looks more like a southern European/Italian mansion/castle. We opened our hotel room a big also in style room,as if we went back in time. Also the swimmingpool surprised us,in ths middle of the building in the open blue air we enjoyed the water and also the wirlpool. And very nice ladies at the desk who were very kind. We eventually after just one night in the good bed, asked at the desk if we could stay for 3 more days/nights.and that is something we rare ly do,we love to visit different pkaces we also enjoyed driving to Hermosa Beach where there is a nice street nearby the beach to shop and dine!

“Disappointing Stay After 15 Years as a Returning Guest”

I have stayed at the Ayres many times over the past 15 years and have always enjoyed my visits. In the earlier years, I stayed here frequently, though not as much recently since my daughters live in Los Angeles and I usually stay with them. One thing I noticed is that the value has changed over the years. Parking used to be complimentary and breakfast was included, but both now come with additional charges. For this stay, I booked through Expedia rather than directly with the hotel, which is what I normally do. I’m not sure if that made a difference, but I was assigned a handicap-accessible room that I did not request. What was even more surprising was that the room was located quite far from the elevator. When I questioned it, I was told that I had booked that room type, which was not the case. The only positive part of my experience was the housekeeping staff, who were friendly and pleasant throughout my stay. Unfortunately, this visit left me disappointed. After many years of staying here, I will likely explore other hotel options in the Manhattan Beach area for future getaways.
