Beach Cities Los Angeles County, Los Angeles hotel rooms at the Independent

"Our room was really clean and the bed was comfortable. We were on the 4th floor and carpets had recently been redone, everything smelled really nice. Breakfast was amazing!!! You have to try the carnitas pork and chicken, which they alternate days on. Staff were super friendly, even when kids made a mess. They got us as many extra blankets and towels as we asked for and they even texted us, asking if we needed anything while we were still there."

"There were some problems at check-in, but the hotel resolved the issue quickly. It’s a great location at a great price."

"Staff was very nice and helpful and the place was super clean and very private! I loved it, will be coming back!"

"A very nice stay."

"12/10 stay. Loved the location and the hotel itself. Everyone was super nice and accommodating. No issues. The room was nicely sized. A bit tight with the pull out couch and a roll away bed, but it worked for us. Loved the fireplace for ambiance. The hotel has beach towels, chairs, and even a big chest full of shovels, toys, and buckets. The beach was perfect- waves just right for us and our two young children (3, almost 6). We were there late December 2025 and all went in the water. Location was ideal- walking distance to many different restaurants and a little shopping, and even next to a bike rental shop which was fantastic! If we hadn't rained our last day, we wouldn't have left. We will return! Would absolutely stay here again. "

"wonderful stay. Great room, nice view of course and perfect to refresh and get some much needed rest after the holidays."
