When I am in L.A. I always stay at the Sea Sprite because it is right on the Strand in Hermosa Beach. 300 yards from everything. And the only reasonably priced Motel in the area and I find the area the nicest part of L.A.

OK, it's old, but the essential stuff works, call it "funky". OK, there are a lot of different kinds of people, but they are usually nice people, if a little noisy sometimes. Choose this place only if you can deal with those factors. The prices are way less than the other beach-front motels, most rooms have microwaves and fridges, and... More

I don't even know where to begin. First of all the place is old and decrepit. That would have been manageable for the location, however, the rooms smelled terribly. The odor seemed to linger on my clothes. The real fun began at night. The bed was not at all conducive for sleeping. The sheets made my skin itch to the... More

I have stayed at this motel several times (and so have other family members) since we discovered it several years ago. We have all always really enjoyed the experience. I get one of the rooms around the pool, which face the ocean. There is nothing like going to sleep with the sound of the waves crashing ... just outside your... More

for a land lubber from Iowa, the ocean (any time of year) is a great experience. Sea Sprite is old fashioned, but very polite staff and owned by an ex Marine. The location in literally ON the sea side boardwalk where one can see skaters, bikers and all. Bikes for rent around the corner, a nice bike ride to Redondo's... More

They call it a no frills place and it is that.... but if you want to be on the beach (and I mean right ON the beach) and not break your bank, this is a good spot. We've stayed a half dozen times and have always found the staff friendly and helpful and the surroundings clean. This time we had... More

Doesnt not hav any pots or pans and Room 7 has no water pressure but other than that it was awesome.

After a botched condo rental, my friends and I were able to rent a small appartment at the Sea Sprite at the last possible minute, during March break. The hotel staff was extremely accomodating and very willing to help us out of a tight spot. In terms of the rooms, they were very clean, but very outdated. They probably have... More

We stayed for 9 days at the Ocean Sprite. We had 1 room on the 3rd floor that overlooked the beach, for 7 days. It slept 5, 2 beds at the back of the unit, and a pull out sofa towards to front. The motel was very clean and tidy, and it was a perfect location for us to be... More
