The location was awesome. Step out onto the beach. The price for the location was awesome as well. The room was clean and had a steamer to help smooth out clothing wrinkles. The faux wood floors are very noisy with the doors to the room being thin and not touching the floor, so the noise in the hotel echoes. Lots of drunk people came through from 2-3 AM so it was loud and difficult to sleep through. But it was a good value, just use the provided ear plugs ... even if you don't think you will need them.

We loved the room! Great view, comfortable bed, ocean breeze. Keypad locks meant no keys to lose.

The location was great and the front desk lady was helpful. However the bed in our room broke and we had to be moved to another room. The hotel gives a feel overall of low quality materials as a lamp in our new room was also broken and the key code to get in the hotel did not work and guests were left to open the door for each other.

The stay wasn’t ideal at all. The hotel doesn’t have A/C. The elevators take forever. When we got there we were told to park about a 10 min walk from the location and there was a lady that smelled terribly in the lobby. The room smelled like cigarettes. At night people were fighting outside which disturbed our sleep. The only ideal thing is how close to the Venice boardwalk it is.

Great hotel but no air conditioning

**Overall, the room was good! A mom with two teenagers, aged 14 and 16!** **Reception:** Generally difficult because there isn't always someone at the reception! We receive a code for the entrance door of the building and a code for our own room doors! So once check-in is done, the rest is simple! **Bed and Bedding:** Clean and simple, the beds are adequate. No cleaning service during the stay, but unlimited towels, so it was perfect for us! **Kitchen:** Be aware that there are no dishes available except for 2 glasses and 2 cups! No pan, no pot, no utensils, no toaster! Only a microwave, a small coffee maker, and a refrigerator with a freezer! **Noise and Light:** Lots of noise, lots of light. We travel with eye masks and earplugs, so the noise and light didn't bother us much, and we were on the side opposite the street, so the noise was a bit less noticeable! **Location:** The location is perfect, right in front of the beach and in the middle of the two large piers! Lots of homeless people, but no safety issues! They don't bother tourists! My 14-year-old son even bought a lot of food and walked among them at night to give it out, and it was super cool! That's the beauty of California—the mix between the beach, homelessness, and luxury!

Best location ever for the price

Second time staying here, and it went as expected. Perfect location for walking, plenty of dining and sight seeing options close by. My only gripe, was there was no AC in the rooms, which can get quite hot if you don’t close the blinds during the day. The however did produce a huge standing fan that made things comfy quickly. The apartment size fridge was a definite bonus. Will happily book and recommend, just be mindful no AC
