STAY OPEN Venice Beach

Wszystko było super

Maybe, just the quiet time should start a little later.

Being able to separate rooms could increase privacy (even just with a little curtain - which they have!)

Early check-in cost $30, which was expected, but storing my belongings after checkout was an additional $30, increasing the overall price and making it a bit expensive.

Warning : Illegal and dishonest practices – On Friday, July 4th, 2025, the establishment made defamatory statements about me via Booking in order to avoid issuing a refund. On top of the fact that this is utterly foolish on the hotel’s part, I remind you that under U.S. law, making defamatory statements is a serious and punishable offense, especially when such statements are malicious.
Furthermore, the manager entered my pod while I was not there to confiscate the pillow I use for a medical issue. Nowhere in the rules does it state that guests cannot bring their own pillow.
Illegal practices by this establishment include: charging the full amount before arrival, confiscating personal belongings, and making false statements.
On paper, the place seems nice, but in reality it is buried under absurd, dystopian rules. You never feel at ease. There is constant background music during the day throughout the hotel, making it difficult to work or rest. If you want the hotel to keep your luggage for an extra hour after your booking ends, you will be charged $30. If you arrive one hour after the official check-in time, they will simply let you out.
The hostel’s name should be: Stay at your own risk.
I do not recommend.

FR : Pratiques illégales – Le vendredi 4 juillet 2025, l’établissement a tenu à mon égard, via Booking, des propos diffamatoires afin d’éviter de procéder à un remboursement. je rappelle qu'aux États-Unis, tenir des propos diffamatoires constitue une infraction grave et passible de sanctions De plus, le manager est entré dans mon pod en mon absence pour confisquer mon oreiller à usage médical. Nulle part dans le règlement il n’est indiqué que les clients ne peuvent pas apporter leur propre oreiller. En plus : prélèvement de la totalité du montant avant l’arrivée
Sur le papier, l’endroit semble bien, en réalité, trop de malhonnêteté, de règles absurdes, et comportements inquiétants. Si on aime les plans détente, à éviter.

When checking in, I would explain the rules of residence and personal boundaries to other residents, because when I was standing in the common area near my capsule, and a man near another capsule started putting on his underwear after showering, it made me feel uncomfortable.

If you pay for a late check-out, it doesn't mean you'll be able to sleep in longer; you still have to vacate the capsule by 11 AM, you can just stay in the building.

The only thing that was a little bit strange to me was sharing a common bathroom with men. But honestly I think that’s my own hangups. It wasn’t dirty or anything.
