I stay in the Los Angeles area quite often for business. For the first time this month I decided to stay in Marina Del Rey and was quite excited about it. The area is great but the hotel was a big mistake. The minute I walked into the lobby there is a smell of strong potpourri that can make you... more

You can read so many reviews and sometimes unfortunately the bad ones seem to dominate. Remember this as I got the feeling when reading the reviews that some people were being a little whiney and this was going to be a good hotel and such great value. Thankfully my experience was all good. There was a lovely Scottish lady at... more

We choose this hotel for our vacation through internet. From our experience sometime the internet promises more than you have in reality. We were pleasantly surprised and satisfied with Marina Del Rey Hotel. Perfect location, even for us, who don't use a car. Quiet, beautiful area on the water, convenient transportation, nice, friendly personnel and good service. We would definitely... more

We were a little disappointed by this hotel. It is basically worn out and poorly maintained ...... for example our windows wouldn't open, the furniture was in poor condition, the carpets very dirty looking and marked, ice machine dirty. The pool water was murky, and the pool area not cleared up etc ... Much smell of cigarette smoke even in... more

We recently stayed at this hotel over the labor day holiday weekend. We originally got a nice second floor marina view room. We requested a change, though, because our room was also over the pool and it was quite noisy on that very busy weekend. Helga and the other pros at the desk were so friendly about the switch even... more

Yes, the hotel could use some updating, but the only people we heard whining were our fellow Americans. All of the many international visitors seemed to appreciate the friendly, welcoming staff; the ideal marina location; the clean pool; and the comfortable beds. We wanted a true SoCal setting while moving our daughter into USC, and this spot couldn't have been... more

What a shame that the owners of this hotel have let it run down. The location on the Marina is fantastic and the rooms spacious with balconies and lovely views. The problem is the furniture and decorations are extremely worn and tired, making it feel gloomy and dirty - even though it had been well cleaned. Owners, please invest in... more

Yes its true the room iis alittle dated but eh location a views makes up for it. We got a groung level rooom with one king sized bed will sliding doors out onto a... more

I attended a high school reunion at this hotel in July, 2008 and the problems started the minute we checked in. The room that we had booked and paid for months before was not available. While the front desk found an alternative room for us there at the hotel, the carpets were wet and stained, the wallpaper was peeling off... more
