Since travelling by myself for the first time ever, and being my first time ever outside of Europe, it almost couldn't have went better. This hotel was perfect for my trip. Four major reasons. - A Walking distance to Marina Del Rey and Venice Beach. - A convenience store right outside of the hotel. - Lot's of close-by stores, bars, liqour stores, restaurants (including In-N-Out Burger, McDonalds, Subway and Taco-Bell). But the best thing for my trip was 100% the bus-stop right beside the hotel. Everyday i took the bus (BBB 18) to the Downtown Santa Monica station. Hopped on the Metro train it took me everywhere i wanted to go (Santa Monica Pier, Hollywood, Downtown, Studio City, Griffith Observatory etc). Back to the hotel, it was a very good experience too. Very comfortable king-size bed, bathroom with shower/bath, Fridge, TV. Everything it Said it should be. Great cleaning and room service. Easy to check in & out. Priceworthy.

Sometimes it could get really loud thanks to traffic, but it usually got better during night-time. Personell were really nice, but i didn't recieve very much information about the hotel. But i found everything out on my own so it's no big deal.

Great Hotel for a short stay in the Venice Beach Area! Thanks for letting us check out a little later and an overall great stay!

The Pool was small and didn’t look too attractive to try out.

Very large room (#238), very hot shower, great location at end of Abbot Kinney Road and walkable to stores there, parking under building included, friendly desk staff (John and Luke), daily room cleaning, it felt secure. Would recommend a room facing courtyard for privacy. Hair blower broke and they replaced it immediately. Had working refrigerator. AC worked very well but it was in the low 60s outside so not fully tested.

Our room had some nighttime street traffic noise but not bad, could hear other rooms running shower or toilet flush but not all the time, TV is small (but we used iPad on our lap), hotel and rooms are a little run down but suitable for price point. WiFi not very strong and not secure — they offered a password but it wasn’t needed. The restaurant was not in service.

Nice big room, clean, comfy bed, plenty of towels. Fridge, coffee maker, iron. Staff very helpful and friendly. Free car parking You can walk to the beach where there are lots of cafes and restaurants takes about 30mins or you can drive $6 to park. Beaches very clean. Area felt safe. Nice path along to Santa Monica, we hired bikes for the day and there is a cycle path all the way. Good coffee and danish pastries at The Cow Shed. Lots of bars on the front, good for watching the sunset. We got the 'Big Bus' open top from Santa Monica which meets another bus and then you can go into Los Angeles, one ticket covers both buses aprox £85 for two people.

All the food and drinks very expensive.

Great place, service, checkin in. We got our room before the time for checking in and a very good service. The air condition wasn’t like in other places I’ve been to so we had to figure out ourselves how to out it in, but then no problem. We needed an extra blanket and it was no problem giving it to us. The location was good, you can hear the traffic from Washington Boulevard but it’s okej, unless you are very sensitive to noise. 20 min walk down to Venice Beach, you can also rent bikes with Lyft, Bird etc that you can park in this area. We walked and used bikes, love them both.

A little bit thin walls, you can hear the neighbours. But if your not sensitive it’s okej.

Nothing to complain about here. The management is warm and welcoming and despite this being an older style hotel that could do with a bit of an interior room (316) update in places it presented as clean and comfortable. It was so easy to get the free shuttle from LAX to the bus transfer centre and then 'Big Blue Bus' number 3 from the transfer centre to the Lincoln Rd/Washington Rd intersection and then take a 5 minute walk to the motel. There are restaurants close by. Also easy transport on same bus on to Santa Monica beach when you visit.

I have emailed & haven’t heard back - still am awaiting my $100 holding deposit

The room was spacious and clean, and the AC was wonderful. There was a curtain to black out the light. I was able to check in earlier at no additional cost, so the hotel was very accommodating. It is close to Venice beach (I walked for about 40 minutes to get there in time to watch a beautiful sunset), and I felt very safe walking around the area. The hotel also had a door before reaching the rooms that required a key-card to access, making it safer.

The toilet wasn't caulked properly and shifted when you sat on it. It worked perfectly, it was clean, and there was no leakage/unpleasant sights or smells of any kind, but it was not placed properly. The shower curtain was flimsy and the exhaust from the bathroom kept blowing it into the tub, making it unpleasant.

I loved that the room was super clean. Check in/out was fast.

The person at the front desk was rude.. and looked as if we were asking him to let us stay there for FREE. Parking lot, TERRIBLE. They tried to send us to park in an alley.. obviously i didnt. Thankfully we bumped into the owner in the parking lot and he let us park in a good space in their parking lot, super nice and understanding.

I had erred in my reservation dates and the front desk not only assisted in correcting the error but provided an early check in.

They have never re-opened their breakfast room since covid yet still had it on their information. The chairs in the room were not very comfortable and the beds a bit firmer than my preference, but not uncomfortable. Sadly, our last morning was interrupted at 0530 with a hugely painful fire alarm. There was no one at the front des, initially, to open doors for the fire crew. It took at least 10 minutes for the alarm to be shut off and it was a false alarm. An apology from management would have been nice.
