The hotel is in a great location, ideally situated for exploring MDR and Venice. The updated patio and communal areas are better. The rooms are still the same from when it was a Holiday Inn - although I believe there are new upgraded rooms at the hotel? The staff are exceptionally friendly and very helpful. Great VFM. I would definietly... More

I stayed at this hotel on a weekday almost 2 weeks ago. I actually just slept late noon until late night since I have to be at work that night. I stayed here 2 years ago when it was under another chain. The patio has improved, though the room furnishings seemed to be the same old furnitures. I'm not sure... More

My colleague and I were in Marina del Rey for a conference at another hotel which was within walking distance. We had a spacious "deluxe" room with 2 queen beds for 5 nights. The extra space provided by the "deluxe" was much appreciated! The room was new, clean, and eye pleasing with a small refrigerator. The sink area was separated... More

My husband and I had a wonderful time in this hotel. The staff of the day is really friendly and helpful, they always try to solve your problems. The breakfast was very good and there was a lot of choice. The parking is free, which is a plus and you are at a 10 minutes walk from Venice Beach. The... More

Good value, about $100 cheaper per night than other hotels in the area. Rooms were clean although had a slighter "older" smell to them. Breakfast was included and good. Staff was pleasant. The design and setup of the hotel was interesting....outside access to your rooms...dark at nightime needed more lighting. No bar or restaurant at the hotel or directly close... More

My husband, daughter and I chose this hotel because we wanted a place close to Loyola Marymount University (so we could attend our son's graduation) and we wanted something reasonable price-wise as we were going to be staying in LA for nine days. The hotel is very clean, the staff pleasant and helpful. Free covered parking was also nice. It's... More

We stayed at this hotel for 5 days while in L.A. The hotel was clean, conveniently located, the breakfast was good and best of all the rooms are fairly large. It was great having a separate living room from our bedroom especially considering we stayed there for 5 days. This made it feel more like a home away from home.... More

Very friendly and helpful stuff. Nice location - loved bohemian Venice (Abbot Kinney st. and channels) and Santa Monica. Very comfortable and clean rooms. Quite good breakfast (waffles!). Very good free parking. When came back for the second time, we were upgraded to the suite for free, it was really nice.
