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!.
