Following the glowing reviews of The Erwin, we booked the hotel on Hotwire, where it is presented as a 3.5 stars hotel in Santa Monica/Venice/Marina del Ray. When we arrived at the hotel we were offered an "upgrade" at a price 40% higher from our "deluxe" room. We asked to see both rooms only to realize that the "deluxe" room... more

You can tell the Hotel Erwin has put a lot of effort into being cool. From artistic graffiti at the entrance to neon green and white leopard print robes to quirky furniture, there are a lot of little touches working towards this goal. In all, they accomplished a very fun atmosphere. The hotel itself is very clean, but the area... more

I stayed here at the beginning of October with my wife, it was the start of our honeymoon and it couldn't have got any better. The hotel is in a sweet location, mere metres from the Venice boardwalk, it's also opposite a couple of the better restaurants around Venice Beach ( notably Danny's.) The staff were attentive and really went... more

We stayed at Hotel Erwin for 4 nights at the end of September and overall enjoyed our stay. We booked the Premier Ocean View King room expecting our room to face the ocean, only to find it was on the side of the building so really only Partial Views (refer photo). If you look straight out from the room you... more

Funky bedroom styling, although ensuite in our room had not been refurbished yet so was a little at odds with the rest of the decor. Fantastic roof terrace for sundowners Only one lift, so might have to walk the stairs sometimes In walking distance of shops and bars of Abbott kiney street, so guaranteed a good night out and plenty... more

We stayed at Hotel Erwin for one night and enjoyed our stay very much. We were upgraded to a partial ocean view suite and the room was clean and comfortable. Pros - location (just a block walk to the beach!) - service (everyone was friendly and went out of their way to help you) - managers reception (free wine/beer for... more

We chose this hotel because it was close to the beach and to the MGM studios (where we were visiting). The staff is top-notch, the color scheme is gorgeous, the room was totally awesome -- great design, great colors, comfortable and quiet. We did not eat at the small hotel restaurant because of the cost (noted in other reviews) and... more

I very recently returned from a week's stay at Hotel Erwin on Venice Beach. I'm so mixed about my stay there, as they had some great advantages, but too many annoyances to go along with it. I'll try listing the good stuff, then go into the bad. For the entire week, the staff was fantastic. Front desk clerks were always... more

My husband and 3 year old stayed at Hotel Erwin over Labor Day weekend. We had a king suite (just as pictured on their website) for about $180 a night. The room was very large and the location could not have been better. A very short walk to the beach and there's a great kids playground right on the beach... more
