This is a lovely and comfortable hotel. The place is walking distance (3-4 min.) to Venice Beach and there are several restaurants near by. We found the staff to be incredibly welcoming and helpful. 2 caveats though i) if you are looking for a romantic gateway, Venice Beach might not be the best venue overall. Although it is walking distance... more

What criteria do you use to describe the location of a hotel in LA? If like us you were taking the children to Disneyland or Hollywood (both an hours drive away - in good traffic!) then Venice Beach isn't the natural choice. Also whilst the hotel is definitely "at" Venice beach it isn't "on" the beach, albeit it's just 5... more

This place is good if you want to stay in a renovated, clean place near the beach, but aren't looking for too much more than that. Our room was a bit small, but sufficient. Nothing extraordinary about this place, but there is so much to do in the area, it doesn't matter. They aren't many amenities (no pool, cafe, hot... more

Great location just 5 minutes walk from the Venice beach pier and shops/restaurants. Inn is comfortable and clean, with largish rooms. Also only about 15/20 minutes drive from LAX. The one downside was the particular room I got - the entire view and most of the light was obscured by a tree. Barely any natural light at all which put... more

We thoroughly enjoyed both times we stayed at the Inn recently. It has big rooms, a beautiful and quiet courtyard, and extremely helpful and polite staff. In particular, one staff member went out of her way to help me with an urgent internet problem, which was just outstanding service. We were also helped with baggage storage and they dealt with... more

We spent two nights here and had a wonderful time during our stay. We were greeted at check-in with a smile and warm cookies that just came out of the oven. The room was clean, quiet, and of nice size with a comfortable bed. The complimentary breakfast is a very nice touch which we took advantage of both days. This... more

Located just a short walk from the funky, fun Venice Beach with tons of volleyball courts and head shops, the Inn at Venice Beach was a very pleasant and fairly economical place to base one's LA/Santa Monica operations. I was there for a wedding in Santa Monica and stayed four nights. The room was clean, spacious and brightly decorated. It... more

We stayed almost a week at Venice Inn end of October. Hotel was very cosy, we liked the staff and were happy about breakfast. The short distance to SM and LAX were the reasons to choose it at the first place, and of course the nearness to the beach. It was also nice to walk to Fishermans Village and admire... more

Very noisy. If you plan to sleep in, forget it! Water pipes are noisy... so when an someone from an adjoining room takes a shower, the pipes wake you up. Further, whenever the person above my room walked (at 6:00 am), my ceiling shook and woke me up. The area is not safe. Not recommended. more
