An affordable mainstay in rapidly changing Hermosa Beach, the Sea Sprite has an unbeatable location, sitting steps from the sand and the attractions on Pier Plaza. “Clean, comfortable and family-friendly,” is how employee Kristen Greenwald describes the Sea Sprite. There’s a variety of rooms to meet travellers’ needs, from economy units to the motel’s two-bedroom cottage.
