First time staying at Venice Beach and this place was great. The hotel was right on the pedestrian walk that borders the beach. You can’t get any closer! The front door is nestled between 2 shops which at first concerned me, but they closed by 6pm so this was no problem. Since the hotel is right on the beach parking... more

Don't understand all the rave reviews. True, the location is great, directly on Venice Beach, but that doesn't justify the delapidation of the place, the lack of service and the noise. It is also very unsafe with stuff from long-term guests standing around in hallways. It is on the messiest section of the beach (just look out of the window... more

This hotel was great. Perfect location right in the middle of everything. The staff was incredibly friendly and very helpful. The accommodations were very cute and comfortable. My only complain would be was that the sheets were that the over sheets were kind of sandy. more

We live in L.A. and spent a day here before some surfing lessons in Santa Monica - from the moment we arrived we were treated so well that it cast a pleasant glow over the whole two days. We took a room on the second floor with the full ocean view and loved hearing the hustle and bustle outside all... more

I know I am a little late writing this review. I just want to say that this hotel has the best staff ever!! They gave us bus routes, told us of fun things to do in thre area. My son had the best time ever. This is very different than the area of the east coast we live in--it's very... more

the management was helpful, hip, and friendly from the time we booked...and especially on the phone trying to find the hotel. we were lucky and got upgraded to the corner ocean front room; This was a great room and felt like a city loft apartment on the beach. You could watch all the colorful street life of jewelry vendors ,... more

We arrived and Greg gave me a personal tour of the cute inn. Cute, cozy room. Clean and comfortable. Awesome rooftop deck, great place to sit quietly in the AM. Perfect location in Venice, close to all the fun but just far away enough from the craziness of the boardwalk. We only stayed one night, but Greg actually took the... more

As soon as we arrived we felt uneasy. The location was OK: it is right on the beach. Downside: you would have to pass about 10 weirdos to get there. Let's say you do not feel comfortable walking there after dark. In the hotel we had to wait for at least 5 minutes because the receptionist was 'on the phone... more

I've never written one of these before but felt compelled to after my stay here. I have never made to feel so welcome and comfortable in a hotel before. The hotel is wonderfully located right on the beach with many cafes and shops close by. There is so much to do and see within minutes walk. The rooms are very... more
