My wife and I stayed at the Foghorn many years ago and decided to try it again. Marina Del Rey is a beautiful part of the LA area, close to LAX, Venice and Santa Monica. We were pleased to see that the place had undergone a few improvements (nicer decorations, bathrooms newly painted, fluffier towels). The room was very comfortable,... More

Pretty basic room (don't expect luxury) nice friendly staff. my Mother said the lobby coffee was very good and she felt safe and secure there. She had no complaints. Walk a short couple blocks towards the beach,... More

I rarely write reviews on anything but wanted to share our experience. My husband and I needed a place to stay for the night and after calling tons of hotels and motels tying to find one with vacancy, we finally found this one!! We were so lucky that they had a room available and we were absolutely thrilled with the... More

Marina del Rey is not cheap. You really pay for the location, on the man-made marina. That's what we wanted - a balcony over the marina. We got that, but it doesn't come cheap ;) The room was clean, the bed was comfy, but the place is showing it's age. The hallway was dark and dingy. There was an indeterminate... More

Thank you for your comments. I hope you complained about the stain on the refrigerator. We try to keep the hotel spic and span, particularly because it is older. We offer competitive prices and many free amenities to compensate. It is not in our near future plans to raze & build a new hotel. We hope you come again. More

Thank you for your comments. Please come again. Have you tried the "Cheesecake Factory" package? Great food and reasonable prices. If you have leftovers you can have them boxed and store in your refrigerator for snacks or next day treats. Thank you & we hope you tell your friends about the Foghorn Harbor Inn! More

Fantastic location. Right on the beach. Incredible value for money. Free parking. Wireless internet for our teenage daughters. Cheesecake factory next door was a big plus!

Nice clean room with fridge and microwave. Picked a ground floor room which is first floor on the beach side meaning more privacy. Slghtly put off by fumes from the Cheesecake factory next door but they were only slight. Breakfast room a little small with plastic cutlery and paper crockery but good selection of cereals and tea/coffee. Breakfast was self... More

Thank you for your comments on our hotel. We truly appreciate your time, it helps us try to improve, wherever we can. We hope you come again (perhaps try the "package", which includes a discount at the Cheesecake Factory). If you haven't eaten there, it is hard to beat. Prices, choices and quality; all next door, walking distance. More

Stayed here for a night before taking a morning flight out of LAX. For this purpose, you can't do better -- it's just a little over a 10 minute drive to LAX, no traffic (at least in my experience driving there at 7am), and so much nicer than a bland airport hotel to wake up to sunrise over Marina del...

Thank you for taking the time to comment on our hotel. Sorry about the pre-packaged breakfast items. We are governed by the County Health Department and are limited by their requirements. We do take pride in our many "free" amenities, lower prices and fabulous view. More

Stayed here for one night. We were coming in late from a cross country flight and were looking for a place close to the airport to crash. It's about 10 minutes from LAX and was easy to find. This place is a great value. Free wi-fi, free parking, and a decent complimentary breakfast. The room was very clean and even... More
