Ayres Hotel Manhattan Beach LAX - Hawthorne

From the looks of this hotel I wouldn't have thought I could afford to stay here, but they have very competitive rates. Check-in took a little bit of time, but the front desk attendants were friendly and respectful, the room was quite roomy and very clean. Despite being located directly adjacent to the 405, my room on the first floor was amazingly quiet. […] Plus this proximity to the interstate makes it very convenient to get to other areas in LA quickly. The area is also safe and clean - I live in LA and there are certain places I would not even consider staying, but as a female I had no worries about walking outside in the early morning (4am) and parking my car in the free lot. For eco-minded people, the hotel has a system where you must store your key card in a receiver to keep the lights on, so when you leave all the lights turn off because you have to take your key card with you (this in addition to all the efforts to save on laundry volume).

Large room, tasteful decor, great breakfast, convenient to airport. Will be back!

Large and clean rooms, free parking, free wifi, and a free buffet breakfast that was more than just yogurt and a stale bagel. That would be a great list in any location and at about any price. But throw in the fact that the hotel is close to LA sites and is about half the price of other hotels of comparable quality, and you have a winner! My only complaint […] was that my room was a bit too noisy for my taste. The hotel is right off of the freeway, so many of the rooms have traffic noise. But even with that (which usually drives me nutty), I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. Read more

We stayed at 4 hotels during our trip and this one was by far the best! We booked it for its proximity to LAX, since we had an early flight out after a stay at Disney. The elegance was completely lost on my 9 year old, but I appreciated a little sophistication after Disney. The staff is so professional and courteous...they even called the room after […] checking in, to make sure we were comfortable and not in need of anything. We did not use the restaurant, but it looked and smelled fantastic. Inexpensive gas next door, too, if you need to fill up the rental car. Read more

Coming from the land of hotels, my kids and I were impressed with the Ayres. First, it's uniquely designed with European flair which lent itself to being "out of town." Most important, however, is the value. The spacious rooms, free full breakfast, free parking and free shuttle to the beach were invaluable in optimizing our time and budget. Proximity […] to conveniences such as coffee shops and freeways made the trip a real pleasure. Best of all the staff were very service oriented and, at my ribbing, good sports. I'd definitely recommend them and go back again. Read more

the hotel is a good as the pictures , service was great , free breakfast great, location no to good hotel service great , the employess did care and very helpfull good hotel.

very luxurious and well appointed for the price

Very nice hotel, great value for the money. Next to the main road, but across from a shopping center, and a short drive to Manhattan Beach or LAX.

Great hotel very close to LAX & right off the freeway. Customer Service was awsome. We were on the 2nd floor ... directly above a wedding reception. The noise level was kind of loud & I wasnt looking forward to that nights sleep. I contacted the reception desk & with no hesitation they switch our room & gave us an upgrade. Very please with the room […] & rates. Read more

The staff was very friendly. Even though we checked in an hour and a half early they checked us in right away. The room was clean, dust free, odorless - just what you'd want in a room. The bed was veeeeeeeeerry comfortable. Even though the hotel is just off the highway, our room was very quiet. We had a view of the courtyard which looked very nice. […] We didnt use it because we were there for only one night. But the area looked very tidy as well. Read more

Hotel was beautiful, room was comfortable and clean, free breakfast was delicious

The hotel decoration in my particular taste is not my favorite but it was nice, old European-Italian style. Even I know is part of their signature style, I'm a travel agent and I booked it for the reviews I saw about it. GREAT HOTEL., the staff is really friendly and couldn't ask for better. The breakfast is really good: nice fruit, hot dishes and the […] most important for me NO DISPOSABLE DISHES OR SILVERWARE AT ALL, which now days seems to me that even good brand hotels have them, that for me is a reason just to book this chain again. The room was perfectly clean, big and nice, everything in perfect conditions...I must say I have been in hotels as Sheraton, Sofitel, Four Seasons, Intercontinental, etc., and this hotel for the price, quality of service, rooms and in general is great if you are looking for something nice to spend a good weekend without spending to much. AGAIN GREAT HOTEL....I WILL FOR SURE START BOOKING FOR MY CLIENTS THEIR BRAND. Read more

Very nice hotel and close to lots of nice places, very satisfied and would do it again.

The Ayers is absolutely Fantastic!, we went there after our wedding and was completely awed by the beauty of the hotel and freindlness of the staff...the rooms were huge and clean, we had a courtyard view, wr will definitely be coming back.

This was our first time staying at an Ayres Hotel. It won't be our last. We liked the separate sitting area which made the room very comfortable. There were nice sitting areas throughout the hotel and a good restaurant. Good value for the money!

The staff at the Ayres was very pleasant and helpful. The hotel is clean and well-appointed. The outdoor atrium is a nice place to relax and makes you forget that you are just off the 405 freeway. The only issue is that the restaurant in the hotel is not actually affiliated with the hotel. Therefore there is no room service and you can't take food from […] the restaurant to your room. Otherwise this was a great alternative to the larger chain hotels. Read more

Way beyond beautiful -- verging on opulent. The double queen studio suite my sister and I shared had 12-ft (or more?) ceilings, brocade bed covers and sham pillows, marble bathroom, and a mini-fridge and microwave as well as a coffee-maker. It would have been great for doing breakfast in the morning, except that the hotel breakfast (full hot breakfast […] buffet) was much too good to pass up. And the staff members (reception, dining room, housekeeping) were unfailingly polite, courteous, helpful. Read more

Very nice hotel, friendly and helpful front desk employees. Great architecture and decorating for a newer hotel. Would definately stay again.p

Everything is grand in this hotel, feels like you traveled to Europe because of it's design. Very nice, very clean. Front desk is very hospitable as well. Finally got 2 thumbs up from my wife which is very seldom. The room is so elegant and it comes with hot breakfast buffet too. Definitely staying in this hotel again!!!

This hotel is top-notch. Everything from the furnishings to the comfortable beds, to the wonderful staff. An absolute perfect stay. The hotel is not located near the beach, so you do need a car. But a great value and 5-star (seriously) experience.

the rooms were beautiful.. the service was exquisite.. everyone was polite. the hotel is magnificent. really good customer service. if i'm ever in the area again, this is my hotel of choice..

Loved the quite , very peaceful and relaxing room was nice with the little extras Frig, microwave. Loved the courtyard with pool and hottub , also being next to the I-405 was very quite with the sound walls all along the highway then the final was a very nice breakfast and the internet station to print our boarding passes right at the front desk nice […] touch. Also another decision in our choice was the free parking alot of the hotels in the area were charging 20 - 25 dollars per night Overall a win win situation Read more

The service was plain and simply terrible. The employees were not rude by any means, they just didn't do anything to go out of their way to ensure customer comfort and satisfaction. I read other reviews and saw it rated low in service, but I didn't think it would be a big deal since I was staying for only a night. I was wrong. If you want a relatively […] affordable place to stay and are completely self-sufficient, then this may be a good choice. If you expect customer service on any level, find another hotel. Read more

The best hotel to take a PERFECT GET AWAY! My husband and I love to get away anytime we get a chance to. Prices are reasonable. The rooms are beautiful for resting and taking some time off the hectic day to day.

We chose an Ayres Hotel for the first time and were quite happy with the quality and the value. We have already booked another Ayres Hotel for an upcoming stay.

I used only one night for our flight next day. The hotel is nice and we want to stay more.

This was the last stop for our "Girls Only" vacation. My sister and I told our daughters that we were staying at the Best Western, so when they walked through the front door and saw how beautiful it was they got really excited! The evening desk staff (Ian and Edwin) treated us like friends and gave us suggestions on fun things to do in the area. The […] room was breath taking as we looked out to the court yard. One of the girls said it was like being in a castle with the statues and antiques. It was special last day in LA!! Thank You, to the Ayres family for creating an affordable OASIS for those of us that always wondered what it felt like to be able to afford a nice 5 star hotel and to be treated like someone important!! Hope to have an opportunity to visit again! Read more

This hotel is fantastic! It's beautiful,comfortable and the beds are wonderful. We will definately stay again.

Great location. Easy access to freeway. Also not far from Mahattan Beach.

For the location it does not say anywhere that is right next to the freeway.They make sure there are thick windows and curtains but it would be nice somewhere to mention that.The houskeeping does not speak any english-they did not know the word "sheet".Nice breakfast.There are lots of fast food chains and Costco in walking distance.

We had a great time Ayres Hotel.

Old world charm meets LA!

Excellent hotel. Only negatives were poorly lighted bathroom and cold breakfast buffet when we arrived toward the end of the breakfast time.

This hotel is GREAT for the price! It feels more like a five star hotel! Parking is FREE! And the free breakfast isn't bad either! I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the area. The only thing I would change is maybe the mattress but other than that we had a pleasant stay!

Everything was wonderful and the staff was great. They only issue we had was the jacuzzi was lukewarm and as a result was not very relaxing.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this hotel...the atmosphere is wonderful.
