We stayed in in one of their newly renovated rooms on the 6th floor. The room was beautiful and the view excellent. It was located at the center of Venice beach with all of its attractions in easy walking distance. The manager and front office staff went beyond the call in friendliness and efficiency. more

My husband and I stayed there for a weekend and we were pleasantly surprised. The view is amazing. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. My husband forgot his toothbrush, we called the front desk and within minutes, they brought us a new one. We also asked around for some suggestions on restaurants and the manager was very helpful and... more

Lots of potential here. Rooftop bar at sunset is fantastic. Rooms (pre-renovation) were spacious and clean, albeit a bit dated. Lack of food on premise a minus but a new kitchen was in the works when I stayed. Plentiful & cheap parking. more

Our stay at the Erwin was great! My wife and I stayed on the sixth floor with the view of Venice Beach and we loved it. The room was very clean and the bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on since our stay in Maui 9 years ago. Sure the hotel is in renovation mode but... more

I had the most amazing stay at the Hotel Erwin this week. My husband surprised me with an anniversary getaway. We had the most spectacular view from our ocean view suite. The bed was very comfortable and the bright colors and nrew design are really cool. The staff was extremely friendly and more than willing to help us with finding... more

The staff was very friendly at the Hotel Erwin when we checked in which was nice because we had driven all the way from Scottsdale AZ. We stayed in one of the brand new suites overlooking the ocean. Really liked the new design and all of the art work. The suite was spacious and a pretty good value for our... more

What a great location - where all the action is on the beachfront. However, I strongly suggest you avoid at all costs. I was down here to attend a photography course, and picked what I thought would be the best option in the area. I was wrong. The hotel is still going through rennovations (I wasn't told this at the... more

Myself and two friends arrived at this hotel very late. Despite this, check-in was simple enough and there was valet (additional $) just as I was told. The guy at the front desk was very accomodating. The room itself was decent. Not glamourous but not like a shabby motel either. There was construction on our floor but we never heard... more
