We stayed here for 4 nights in september and had no problems with the hotel. We found it clean, comfortable and roomy. The fridge in the room was usefull and it had a bath and a shower. We liked the free breakfast and free parking. We had a hire car so this was a good base, not far away from venice beach. It took a while to get to hollywood etc. but that was moslty the traffic and LA is so spread out. Also has a walgreens supermarket across the street. Would definately recommend the ramada if visiting LA on a budget. We would happily stay there again.

We got this hotel from pricline which was advertised on thier site as a 2 start hotel but as it turns out it's a motel and a bad one. They don't even have a hotel lobby, I am not sure if they have during the day but not at night. We parked our car and the manager literally gave us the key from a small office window. The room was quiet big and spacious but had a weired smell, the moment we entered. The coffee maker still had some coffe made by previous guest. The curtains and desk had a heap of dust on it. The same with the bathroom. I was scared to take a bath since the bathroom looked so dirty. This was our last day of the trip and the worst hotel of the whole trip. Please do not buy this hotel for the breakfast inclusive package. The breakfast was a joke. There is seat for may be 5-6 people and food for the same as well. The coffee was cold, ohh you actually have to heat it in a microwave. And except for some bread and pre packaged sugary stuff there was NOTHING !!! Our advice for people traveling to Venice Beach pay a little more and save yourself from a motel disguised as a 2 star hotel !!!!

We stayed here for 2 nights and when we arrived about 2pm, our room was not ready which was a shame because we were severely jet-lagged and told to go take a walk. Reception staff weren't overly friendly or knowledgeable about the area.

The room was very clean and spacious. Great selection of cable channels, lots of storage space and all the amenities you could need. From the outside and our first greeting we never thought the inside would be as good as it was.

The price was decent considering how expensive it can be to stay in LA. In saying that though, the only walking distance attraction is a section of Venice Beach.

We had to catch 2 buses to get to Santa Monica and then 2 more buses to reach Hollywood. So time spent travelling was a real let down.

Unfortunantly, we would not stay here again as most of our time was wasted in trying to get places.

I am stunned how good the Ramada Ltd at Marina Del Rey is. Not only is it strategically located by a 24 hr Walgreens, 7-11, Staples Copy Center (think FedEx Kinkos), and believe it or not, Radio Shack. The room was very clean, and get this - flat screen TV's! In the Room, not just the manager's office like some hotels. I wasn't sure what to expect - their pre-pay rates are fantastic and match Hotwire (which I used). I will DEFINATELY stay here again, hands down. For a VALUE hotel it is fantastic! Bring your HDMI cable if your computer has an HDMI port. You can change the input on the side of the TV.. And did I mention real Time Warner cable? Not funky Hotel Cable that defaults to "buy a movie" - but a real Time Warner box - and there is also a refrigerator. One short bus ride to Santa Monica! Plus the front desk is EXTREMELY helpful and pleasant to deal with.
