LAT Rating: Three stars
New and noteworthy: An $11-million renovation has added elegance to a slightly nautical design theme.
The stay: Micro-resort contrasts slightly formal décor with the urban oceanfront.
The scene: Low-key travelers and locals who rent marina slips make it a land-based home.
Deal maker: Baleen is the rare waterfront restaurant that's pretty and good.
Deal breaker: With views of the marina, not the water, and a distant beach, the ocean seems removed.
Stats: 260 Portofino Way, Redondo Beach; (800) 468-4292, www.hotelportofino.com.
Rooms: Rates now begin at $259.
