I couldn't have more positive things to say about either the Beach Suite or about Michael. The suite is really, really well-appointed. Everything seems new or newly remodeled. The bed is comfortable, the tv is nice, there's a lovely balcony out back where we'd eat breakfast on the lounge chairs and enjoy the sounds of the neighborhood. The location is less than one block from the Strand and about two blocks from the Hermosa Beach pier. And Michael could not have been more gracious. He greeted us personally when we arrived, was easily reachable during our stay, and was a complete gentleman and host. We will certainly stay here the next time we are in Hermosa, and I give this listing my highest recommendation!
