Location was great for what we wanted (close to the beach, not too far from LAX), lots of cafes and restaurants around, Starbucks, etc... The hotel also had beach towels for guests to use which was great. The hotel was also super quiet at night and had limited parking available for use if you're renting a car.

The hotel has a microwave available for use, but it would be nice to have access to microwavable plate and maybe cutlery as well. We had to buy plastic cups at a store because the room didn't have anything in that regard.

Lovely rooftop terrace with a beautiful view of the beach and coast, and nice lower level patio. Right on the beach, but not in the bustle of the Venice Beach tourist area. Some restaurants right around the corner, and close to the canals. On a quiet street. Friendly staff.

No coffee, and shower pressure was low. As far as value, I think for the beach area, it was one of the more affordable options, but still seemed a bit pricey- I guess that’s LA! In the future I’d probably stay in Santa Monica instead for more shops, restaurants, and better vibe. I thought Venice Beach would be bohemian, with vintage shops, etc., but it was more touristy stuff - there wasn’t much vintage, and what was there was incredibly overpriced. A place to see, but maybe not to stay unless it’s nice and hot and you can just lay on the beach- which was just out front of the hotel!

Location was excellent, view from rooftop was great, staff extremely helpful.

We had 2 rooms on the ground floor- 1 was amazing, the other didn’t have any towels, the herd of elephants above kept us awake all night and the guy yelling on the phone outside our room for an hour was too much to handle. If you stay here, ask for a room on one of the upper floors.

I stayed here twice during my layovers in LA in between some work in the USA. Surprisingly close to LAX so it's a handy location. Immaculately clean and friendly staff - has a family run business feel. You're paying for location though - you are right on Venice beach (pier end) and a minute's walk from street with bars, restaurants, cafes, shops and supermarkets. Rooms have all the basics and are clean. When I had an upstairs room that seemed bigger and in the foter there was a microwave, kettle, etc. Outside theres a courtyard with recliners, tables and chairs, good for hanging out watching the beach. It's an older type of building, but well kept.

Wifi could be a bit sketchy.

The location is great, and the staff is friendly and attentive. You basically walk out the front door to the beach, and the place also has a patio to lookout at the beach or a rooftop patio to people watch from and enjoy the sunset.

The noise level room-wise is the main inconvenience: thin/hollow doors, small hallways, and creaky loud mattress/beds. The mattresses make a loud noise just sitting on them--like a rubber or plastic heavy screeching creaking noise. We were moved from our original room because the safe wasn't working, and the beds in both rooms made these noises. Is there a big plastic sleeve/sheet to protect the mattresses? Is it a big plastic bed frame supporting the mattress? I have no idea, but the beds are loud--hanky panky or no hanky panky. They are just loud. Also, the shower soap in the first room was clouded over and spoiled. It smelled like rotten eggs. (The room change and soap problem was handled nicely by the staff. They are very attentive.)

The location is just perfect for everyone wanting to have a beach instead of city time. Staff is very friendly. It felt safe to stay there as a female solo traveller. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. Despite being small, it had everything what needed for a short stay.

The window facing other building just right in front so I had to have curtains continuously on for a bit of privacy. There is a nice rooftop but without any bar or music which is sad as the location and the view is perfect. Also, the price is really high for such a small room.

The location is simply excellent if you want to stay right on the beach, and it's a quiet stretch of VB. The property overall is somewhat dated, eg the stucco exterior, but it is immaculately clean inside and the style of the rooms is just fine (nice moldings, modern drywall, etc.). The staff were very friendly and helpful ever time we interacted. I paid for parking (limited spaces, $20/day) which was completely worth it -- easy to come and go without having to worry about that aspect. Walking distance to the canals and little food places, coffee.

It might have been good to have a coffee maker in the room, but the room was relatively small so there was not a lot of extra room for this. Having an outlet and beside table on both sides of the bed would also be a good convenience, versus just on one side.

Location is fantastic to get around LA just away from the hustle and bustle of muscle beach and you can restaurant or bar would you ever way you want to go?

The upstairs apartment, if you hear them walking around for 5 o’clock in the morning

location and the outside seating area

it would be great if there were a few sun loungers up on the roof, it was very windy and the roof terrace is sheltered. tea/coffee making facilities would be great.

location was awesome The night clerk was friendly and helpful

the pillows were horrible. the bathroom was so tiny! the rooms were situated off a small hall and our door was about 4 feet from the tiny desk of the hotel clerk.
