Not as nice as the pictures. Too dirty to be romantic. Would not recommend.
Cons:

The balcony was covered in bird poop. The floor sits about 2-3inches off the ground. The bathroom was dirty with urine on the toilet. The mini fridge and microwave were outdated. The closet didn’t even have a door on it. For this to be an ocean/marina front property they need to desperately upgrade and clean it. We left immediately.

Todo pero sobre todo el olor de las alfombras y la inseguridad del patio.

Hyvä sijainti, kahvia oli saatavilla aulasta
Pros:

Sijainti oli hyvä ja rauhallinen. Lyhyt matka Venice Beachille. Kahvia sai aulasta.

Cons:

Aukassa olisi voinut olla WC Kokolattiamatto oli aika nuhjaantunut, teraasi aika likainen, parveke olisi ollut kiva. Pyyhkeeni oli rikki.

You don't get what you pay for
Pros:

The area and accessibility

Cons:

I didn't get the room I paid for ,I was told it was not guaranteed when I arrived but was not told that when I booked.Then was told its because of 3rd party booking when I first called the hotel to confirm and was told to go on booking.com

Pros:

Bien placé par rapport à Venice Beach et à l’aéroport, lit confortable, personnel serviable

Cons:

établissement vétuste, la moquette de la chambre était très abîmée et il y avait de grosses poubelles sans couvercle dans le couloir qui dessert les chambres
Nous avons demandé à laisser nos bagages au Lobby pendant quelques heures et il nous a été demandé 1 dollar par bagage, cela nous a vraiment choqués. De plus lorsque nous sommes revenus pour récupérer nos bagages et attendre le taxi pour l’aéroport, oh surprise il n y a pas de toilettes accessibles dans le lobby uniquement dans les chambres
Pour nous le prix des chambres est trop élevé au vu de tous ces détails

A great base in the L.A. area to explore the Venice Beach area etc.
Pros:

The location is great, close to the beach and an easy walk to numerous restaurants, etc.

Cons:

Not necessarily a complaint, but the room is a bit dated, particularly the carpet.

Pros:

Views, and proximity to Mother's beach were great. Balconies etc sunny to 3 or 4pm (may). Great location with plenty of available Ubers etc.

Cons:

No breakfast, and shop next door has closed without nearby alternative. Check out 11.00pm and check in 4.00pm were fairly inflexible

Pros:

Whilst the rooms are a little basic, but clean, the locations is superb. bars walkable, or Uber is well available/ Cheesecake factory bar/restaurant next door has everything, but not as cheap as Venice.
was our 3rd/3th visit to same hotel.
Only shame was off license/shop next door is now closed, so a way to get extras

Cons:

No safe, no cleaning unless you ask, but neither were a problem
