The location of La Playa Inn is perfect and in very close proximity to both beach, Stearn wharf and the main shopping area. Staff was lovely and very helpful, breakfast was included. My only slight criticism would be that the beds were narrower than we had in other hotels and mattresses quite soft. However, everything felt fresh, clean, new and we had a great time.

This place was a little hidden gem in SB !! Within walking distance to the beach and pier just around the corner from state st my partner & I were super pleased with our stay here the hotel was very quiet. We were celebrating a birthday & they gave us a complimentary wine bottle to make it even more special. Overall it was a very pleasant stay.

Disliked: Amenities
We paid $600 a night for a weekend in mid July, no pool, no hot tub, no bar. No restaurant. No glass cups or ceramic mugs in the rooms. Aside from adequate cleanliness, there were no premium details of any kind that would make this place stand out. Spend a little more at Mason Beach around the corner and you at least get a pool.

The property was very comfortable, the breakfast pastries were excellent, and the staff was great. We had a wonderful stay overall. The only drawback about the location was the homeless groups in the park across the street.

Arrived two hours before check in. Asked to see if we could park and walk around before check in. Rodolfo was the person working front desk he informed me they actually upgraded our room and it wasn’t ready, but we could leave our car and go walk around. He called me hour later to inform me room was ready. The room was clean, spacious and amazing. The property was clean over all, well maintained. Everything about this place we absolutely loved. When we check out Rodolfo helped us again. He truly was so friendly and the continental breakfast they had was actually not bad. Love they had local roasting company coffee on had at all time. Will stay here every time we come to SB.
