The property was well maintained and had a great vibe. The pool is tiny but that didn’t stop people from swimming and having a good time. The ping pong tables and hammocks were a nice touch. The rooms were cute and comfortable. The room was extremely clean as well….easy place to get around in and was safe.

You can’t really walk to the beach but taking a Waymo or Uber was fairly inexpensive and easy from the location. I felt like parking was too expensive…should only be like 20.00 a day. There needs to be a bar tender at the pool bar with bottled beverages or something. They could have made money and it would add to the vibe.

Staff was very friendly, knowledgeable about the area (especially with restaurants and where to go because they do not serve breakfast but they are near so much!). I stayed in a room that was on the same floor as the pool and hot tub but I was in the quieter section and I heard nothing (which was fantastic because I planned to take a lot of naps). Loved the mid-century modern interior design of the not only the lobby but the rooms as well!

Parking can fill up quickly. Some of the stalls are double stalls where one car will be locked in behind another (which would make sense if there was valet parking) but since it's self-parking, you have to be quick! So if you plan to go out at night, you may want to Uber/Lyft! The lot seems to be pretty full around 8pm!

We really liked the area to sit around the pool. Nice atmosphere. Room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable. Housekeeping every day felt very luxurious! Location is fine, Venice beach and Abbot Kinney are walkable. Neighbourhood felt safe. A lot of nice restaurants in the neighbourhood! We LOVED C&O Restaurant! Really recommend Overall we had a lovely stay!! Worth the money.

Parking: practical but expensive. Pool: very dirty, should be cleaned with high waterpressure machine. We didn’t go in the pool because it looked so gross.

Beautiful, spacious & clean room. Good location for those who travel by car or rent one, especially for Venice, Santa Monica, Malibu. Affordable parking fee.

No breakfast option, bit outdated at the pool area

I travelled with my husband and 2 kids aged 11 and 16 years and we stayed in a family room at this hotel for 4 nights. Overall it was a great stay and good value for money. You have to bear in mind the 3 stars so it is a bit like a standard US motel but with some great touches such as neon signs, wall murals, ping pong tables, colourful and quirky decor in the rooms and also within the grounds of the hotel which make it more fitting for the trendy Abbott Kinney area! We found the room and the pool a little on the small side, but again L.A. is not cheap so this was acceptable for what we paid compared with nearby hotels. We saw lots of other families staying here so I would say it's a great family-friendly budget option with some cool touches to make it feel more contemporary and design-centric. The main drag of restaurants, boutiques and cafes of Abbott Kinney Boulevard is around a 10 minute walk with a further 15 minute walk to Venice Beach itself. Parking is on site which was convenient but it's chargeable at $22 per night. An excellent option for families who like stylish hotels but are on a budget!

We thought we'd be getting 2 standard beds but unfortunately one of the double beds was a sofa bed which was not the most comfortable! As the room was on the smaller side, it made sense to have a sofa bed but perhaps a more comfortable one would have been better!

The hotel is very nice inside and outside, the rooms are clean and spacious. Staff is helpful and friendly, the hotel parking is very convenient (indoors so your car doesn’t heat up during summer).

If you are a family of 3 or 4 with children, do not book the King room with pull out sofa. It is better to book the room with 2 Queen beds. The pull out sofa is very uncomfortable. While the room itself was really spacious, this really made our stay less desirable because my 11 year old son couldn’t sleep well. The location is 1.1 mile from Venice Beach and from the heart of Venice Beach (with the nice stores and bars), I would say even further. So not really comfortable walking distance, it is also very far from other attractions like Beverly Hills (18 km), Universal (more than 30km), Hollywood sign (also more than 30 km). So be aware that this hotel is only convenient if you are ready to go everywhere by car.

Decor, spa pool, table tennis and the location.

Rooms were a little bit noisy but not a deal breaker. The other guests weren’t loud

It was an easy location to get to multiple places. The staff was exceptionally friendly and kind. We had a few minor issues like a smoke detector chirping. I may literally send someone almost immediately. The pool area had a fire pit that was broken and that was disappointing. But a nice open space to enjoy. I also liked that it was a suite with a living space.

Although the bathroom was adequate, it was small and the one sink was detached from the actual bathroom.

The location of this property was great. So close to Abbott Kinney and its stores and restaurants. During the day I could walk there and a night was a quick and easy Uber ride if I wanted to go out to dinner. The neighbourhood was also really nice by the water (beach and canals). As usual for LA, lots of random type characters lingering about in Venice beach, but overall a good area to stay. This room was huge! Basically the size of a one-bedroom apartment. It was pretty much a suite and I really liked that there was a separate living room & bedroom area. I travelled solo, but so much space for a family or couple. I also liked the mid-century modern design of the room. It was a nice touch and really fit in well with the vibe of the area. Made it feel kind of boho-chic.

Security. I really didn’t like that it wasn’t possible to deadbolt the door. There was actually a deadbolt, but the mechanism to “lock” it in place wasn’t lined up properly, which made it impossible to lock. For that reason, I didn’t feel comfortable because it seemed so flimsy. Especially since there was a second entrance that wasn’t monitored most of the time.

Very interesting remodel with Mid-Century Modern theme. Very Well done with interesting details like a fake dial telephone. Our room was large 'suite'. Very clean. Tons of parking underneath in garage. On Washington Blvd which is a busy commercial street which itself is not fancy, but near Abbot Kinney Blvd which has stylish shops and restaurants. Obviously near Marina Del Rey and Venice Beach. Very well priced for this area.

Immediate surroundings OK but not upscale for this area.
