Recently spent the best part of two weeks here and have to say that it was good value and a great location. Rooms were perfectly adequate for our purposes and the staff were great. Very helpful and friendly, and the beach toys and other stuff was well appreciated, especially by my youngest boy, who also loved the old style elevator.... more

I've been to Venice numerous times, and have watched this historic building grow into a restored historic landmark once the new owner took over and began renovations several years ago. The rooms are spacious with all the modern comforts (and a full kitchenette), yet retain the feeling that you are staying in a very old establishment with the exposed brick... more

We had a lovely old room and could see the beach and ocean from the windows running along the side. It was me, my husband and my 3-year-old daughter, and we all felt very safe. When we arrived, the extra bed was ready for our kid and the management loaned us toys for the beach. It was great. Yes, it... more

This is a great place if you want to be part of the Venice Beach boardwalk lifestyle. If you want some kind of 5 star place, then pony up the extra $$$ and go there but for my money, this was well worth it. The staff was extremely helpful and took care of anything that I had any problems with.... more

The historic hotel and rooms have so much character. I loved the huge windows, wood floors and brick walls. If you... more

My husband and I REALLY needed to get away -- to a beach getaway. Here, we felt like we had found it. We really didn't want to travel around. We wanted to stay right there as everything is there -- the sand, the surf, the boardwalk -- just steps outside your door, as if it were our own place. You... more

We stayed two nights at this historic beach front hotel and wish we could have stayed longer. The room had a wonderful view, hardwood floors, and beautiful exposed brick. It is everything that you could want for a simple stay at the beach, you are literally on the boardwalk and maybe ten steps from the sand. The staff was wonderful,... more

Calling it 'Suites and Hotel' makes it sound like a 4 star, when I'd probably only rate it a 1 or 2 star property. Our room had not been dusted for what looked like weeks on end. A light did not work, the wardrobe door was broken, the kitchenette was also dirty and the shower left alot to be desired.... more
