Lou Louise Fleming & Dawn Eyre-Martin had a wonderful on site visit with the Peter Muema the Sales Manager at the Ayers Hotel in Manhattan Beach. It is an elegant European boutique hotel located just off the 405 freeway. When you enter the hotel you don't even feel like you are in Los Angeles. The hotel decor takes you back to the 17th century. Beautiful art work displayed in the walkways, high ceiling rooms, wonderful on site restaurant called Matisse that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. We both had lunch there and it felt like you were dining at a first class European restraunt. The meal was delicious and very reasonable priced. The rooms are deluxe studio suites with a refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker in each room. Complimentary full breakfast buffet, complimentary parking, fitness room, heated pool and room service. I can go on and on! Check out the website and call Dawn at CGC if you have any questions. http://www.ayreshotels.com/los-angeles/hotel-manhattan-beach.aspx
