Los Angeles, California

Virgin rating

The hotel

Ever dreamed of living by the ocean? The Portofino will be sure to give you a taste of coastal living, and you'll be stunned by the incredible views on the daily. Eat with views over the marina, and spend your evenings sat around the fire pit, cocktail in hand. Chill out poolside, and take a refreshing dip. Or if pools aren't your thing, head to the marina for kayaking and paddle boarding, and if you head down to the beach, you can pick up a complimentary boogie board for some fun in the sea. After fun-filled days, your room will be a welcome retreat for some down time, complete with, of course, those unforgettable views.

👎🏻 First and foremost, this hotel is NOT a resort! It has a pool, what it calls a fitness center is a couple of treadmills and a few free weights. I booked through CC points. Upon arrival were told there’s a $38.00 per day “Resort” fee and $40.00 per day parking fee. In addition a $125.00 daily fee charged instantly to my credit card $948.00 for… Read more

Upon arrival were told there’s a $38.00 per day “Resort” fee and $40.00 per day parking fee. In addition a $125.00 daily fee charged instantly to my credit card $948.00 for POSSIBLE incidentals. Of which is to be credited when I check out. The bathroom lighting is terrible. Do you want coffee ☕️ in the morning other than the Kcup provided in the room. Haha … you’ve got to wait until 7:00 and walk across the parking lot to a separate restaurant of which you’ll be charged! A TOTAL disappointment and rip off! Read less

Everything with the room was nice and clean. The view facing Pacific Ocean was amazing. Once you get past the sticker shock When checking in everything was great. It was very nice to wake up and step out on your balcony, and you see boats cruising close and sea lions swimming.

Upon entering my ocean view room, I noticed how clean and tidy the room was. I thought the king size bed was very comfortable and had adequate amount of white fluffy pillows.

When I had some downtime waiting for my Uber, I enjoyed having a drink at the lobby bar. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable. He made me one of the best cocktails I've ever had. The next time I'm in Redondo Beach and need a place to stay, I'll be staying at the Portofino Hotel. Read less
