My sister and I took a road trip to Southern California. We didn't make plans on where we were going to stay, we were going to wing it. When we arrived in Venice, we did not know where to stay, but we knew we wanted to stay on the beach. While driving down the back of the alley by the... more

As other posts have highlighted, the location of this property is unbeatable. The rooms are small but comfortable with bathrooms, fridge, plasma tv etc. The hotel has a coin operated washing machine and dryer for use and there is 1 computer for use. Continental breakfast entailed tea/coffee and pastries, a usual continental breakfast i.e nothing special or fancy. The owner... more

As a hotel this is quite decent, but nothing to rave about -- would give it a three. But the location, WOW. Can't get more on the beach anywhere in the U.S., and it is a great beach. Very short walk to Washington Avenue which I think is one of the nicest gathering of restaurants on any beach that is... more

Our girls trip wrapped up with a visit to the beach. We wanted to be near enough to LAX to not worry about traffic slowing us down when it was time to catch our mid-morning flight, but not so close we'd hear planes all the time. We'd never been to Venice Beach before, so we didn't know how weird and... more

The location was perfect! Besides traffic, it was really quick to get everywhere! My boyfriend and I drove from San Jose to find a really small hotel by the beach. The value was perfect for us, since were college students. The room and bathroom was really small, but clean. We didnt spend much time in it anyway, we were too... more

Me and my husband stayed for 4 nights. We came from NYC and Las Vegas, and were almost swept off our feet by this place, especially the location. 22 steps to the beach! Rooms are very small (though fresh), and there was no cleaning done during our stay, but we got anything we asked for. The manager, Greg, is great,... more

The Good: -Location -Nice laid-back manager -Jacuzzi in the bathroom though we ended up not using it -Cheap -Parking The bad: -Very small room. Barely enough room to get around with 2 people in there. This is the least important negative to me and I don't actually care too much, but I wanted to let other know. -Included breakfast is... more

We stayed here for 4 days, 3 nights in the hotel with the amazing view and location. It was our last destination after a two week tour. The location is totally the opposite from LA. It's really quiet with only the sound of the ocean to completely relax. Greg is amazing, espacially with his tour of the hotel, a whole... more

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending the weekend at this wonderful little...oops, the manager Greg (who was fantastic) would like it referred to as a boutique hotel, but no matter what you call it is a great hotel. The location is unbelievable, the staff is outgoing and goes way out of their way to satisfy, the rooms... more
