Modern, Clean, and Exactly as Advertised
Pros:

The Kinney is a modern, stylish, and well-maintained hotel. Everything was clean, colourful, and thoughtfully designed, and the property looked exactly like the photos.
The location is excellent for exploring the area. We enjoyed walking to the Venice Canal Historic District, Venice Beach, and Marina Del Rey Beach. By car, it is also a short drive to downtown Santa Monica and the main Santa Monica Beach area.
Paid parking is available on-site, but we also found street parking nearby.
Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.

Pros:

The Kinney est très design. La chambre est spacieuse, très bien décorée, propre. Le lit est très confortable. A l'accueil la personne qui parle français (la seule rencontrée lors de notre road trip) était très gentille, à l'écoute et pleine de bons conseils. Les velos sont un plus car très pratiques pour se rendre à Venice Beach et Santa Monica. Dommage qu'ils soient payants.

I loved it I will be back!
Pros:

EVERYTHING! To be honest, I was very skeptical about this hotel at first. However, I can confidently say that I was completely proven wrong. My experience exceeded every expectation, and I am genuinely impressed.

The staff is absolutely exceptional—attentive, helpful, kind, professional, and, most importantly, genuinely caring. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we felt welcomed and valued. Every interaction was pleasant, and it was clear that the team truly cares about creating the best possible experience for their guests.

The rooms were impeccably maintained throughout our stay. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well cared for. I can honestly say that I have zero complaints—literally none. It is rare to stay somewhere and not find a single thing to criticize, but that was exactly the case here.

What impressed me the most was the willingness of the staff to go above and beyond whenever assistance was needed. No request seemed too small, and every question was met with genuine enthusiasm and a desire to help. I have stayed at many hotels over the years, but I have never experienced this level of attentiveness and hospitality.

A special shoutout to Heidi, who was absolutely wonderful. She was always smiling, always welcoming, and always ready to help in any way possible. She truly made our stay even more enjoyable and is a fantastic representative of the hotel’s commitment to excellent service.

As for the location, it is excellent. The Kinney is conveniently situated near everything you need. Los Angeles is an enormous city, so it is unrealistic to expect any hotel to be next to every attraction, but this location offers great accessibility and convenience.

If you are wondering where to stay while visiting Los Angeles, I wholeheartedly recommend The Kinney. In terms of overall accommodation, service, and hospitality, this has been one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had.

Cons:

I loved everything!

Trop cher pour ce que c’est et en plus sans petit déjeuner
Pros:

Chambre confortable

Cons:

Prix prohibitif du parking pour les clients. On vous annonce 38 $ puis au final il faut ajouter 11 $ pour la ville de LA.

No thanks
Pros:

I didn’t really enjoy my stay at this hotel because of several hidden charges that were not clearly explained upfront. When I checked out, I was told I had to pay an additional $11 per day for a city tax.

Also, the small bottles of water placed in the room every day appeared to be complimentary, but I later found out they cost $5 each. Since they were replaced daily, it was misleading and should have been communicated more clearly.

On top of that, I am still waiting to receive part of my deposit back, which has not yet been refunded.

Please be aware of these extra charges if you decide to stay at this hotel.
