The view from our room & location were just what we required. The room was ok, but a bit shabby. No hand soap, looks like the dispenser was missing from the wall, not great The hotel looked shabby from the outside especially the rear of the property.

Great access to the beach (swimming not recommended due to water quality) Good sleep but the rooms need a good coat of paint. Beware that the garden rooms (with a little patio) are actually on the street side and are the noisiest.

I was going to write a stellar review because I loved the location, the room was bright, the outside patio was great and the staff was very nice. Then while checking on my bank account I saw $100 total of extra charges from the hotel. When I called to ask about this the phone answered indicating that no one was available to take the call and unable to take a message as it had never been set up. How terribly convenient fr them. So I emailed them and they responded advising me that we left behind badly stained bedding and towels that they were unable to clean and had to replace. I responded that my sister fell asleep while holding chocolate, but that should wash out easily. I have yet to hear back from them. My next question to them will be what kind of washing machine fare you using and possibly THAT is what needs to be replaced. And also the detergent, please let me know so I don’t buy or use it. And lastly, just how clean are your rooms (bedding, sheets , etc) if you are incapable of washing chocolate out of them.

As a person who use to reside in Marina Del Rey the city was always about convenience and beauty. This hotel and its staff fell far below that standard. The sign advertising the hotel itself was so faded out you could easily miss it, in the bath room the little iron shelf they provided for make up an toiletries was bent in a downwards position things kept falling to the floor. My view from my windows was broken and super dated furniture no longer used in the hotel. I could go on but I am just happy to be done with the experience. Never again!
Beautiful Marina Del Rey not at the Foghorn hotel! The homeless people were fighting loud all night.

We stayed for one night at the Foghorn Harbor Inn, and it was a complete disappointment. We were given a lower-level room, and as we were settling in, we noticed the terrace was full of dog hair and sand. The inside of the room was the same; it hadn't been properly cleaned. The breakfast was also terrible. I don't even think it can be called breakfast, so I'm not sure how they can sell it as "breakfast included." In addition, you need to use transportation to get to many places. We decided to go for a morning walk, and the beach area was very dirty. My family and I wanted to walk around, but it was so bad you couldn't even walk—there were glass shards and leftover food and drinks everywhere. I would say both the beach and the hotel are quite neglected.
