Lovely clean hotel, super comfy beds - weak shower is a personal thing that annoys me!
Pros:

Staff were great, lovely clean hotel, absolutely immaculate and lovely views of the marina.

Cons:

The shower was poor, no pressure and the walls were pretty thin (i could hear my neighbour showering) - but the hotel itself is amazing

Prachtig uitzicht op de haven. Rustig gelegen hotel
Pros:

Prachtig gelegen hotel aan de haven, rustig gelegen. Mooi uitzicht. Publieke parking aan 7 dollar op wandelafstand. Fietsverhuur. Restaurants en Trader Joe vlakbij

Cons:

De aanrekening van 40 dollar per nacht die je wel kon spenderen in het hotel of aan verhuur van fietsen

Sehr schön, wenn man Abseits seine Ruhe genießen möchte
Pros:

Die Lage ist wunderbar. Das Hotel liegt auf einer Landspitze und man hat von allen Zimmer direkten oder seitlichen Blick auf den Jachthafen. Parkplätze sind ausreichend vorm Hotel vorhanden. Der nächste Supermarkt und das nächste Kaffee sind ca. 15 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt. Wenn man an der Strand will braucht man einen fahrbaren Untersatz. Wir haben einen Scooter genommen, diese stehen vorm Haus. Gehören aber nicht dem Hotel! Dafür kann man sich vom Hotel auch Fahrräder leihen. Aber man muss wissen, es ist rein gar nichts an Geschäften oder ähnlichen in der Nähe.

Cons:

Die Bar hat 22 Uhr die letzte Runde gemacht, wir wären gern etwas länger geblieben, es ist ja auch nichts weiter in der Nähe. Direkt vorm Zimmer (wir waren in der zweiten Etage) ist der Motor der Hausklimaanlage (oder ähnlich) und die war die ganze Nacht trotz geschlossenen Fensters extrem laut.

Initial problem but was sorted and appreciate the hotel was busy.
Pros:

Hotel is beautiful, restaurant is lovely, pool was was stunning, gym was also very good.

Cons:

When we checked in, our room had a bad smell, it got progressively worse, almost like sewage. We were moved to another room with single bed and a car park view, not the marina view and king bed we had booked.
We were given a discount which was helpful and the manager tried her best to sort but a little disappointing on our anniversary.
Yes it was a problem, but the manager did a good job to try help.

Pros:

A fabulous stay at Marina Del Rey Hotel. Facilities and staff were great. Loved the pool. There are mixed reviews about the restaurant S.A.L.T but we loved it.

Cons:

Expensive valet parking only. Which saw them move the car are all 5 meters. Could have easily self-parked if option available.

Lovely staff, great location, prepare for the extra charges
Pros:

Rooms were nice (updated, clean, but on the smaller side), pool and hot tub were really nice, beautiful area on the marina.

Cons:

Parking is valet and pretty over priced with the car being parked a few feet away, but we did look into that ahead of time and were prepared. There’s an extra $40 fee/tax that includes two water bottles and a $20 coupon for the restaurant (which was just ok; nice environment but limited options). Paid more for a marina view room but were on the ground level so really couldn’t see anything and wouldn’t recommend the upgrade

Overpriced attitude
Pros:

Room with balcony and good bathroom.

Cons:

A 46 usd mandatory resort fee which is a forced spend on top of already expensive stay, followed by a 52 usd mandatory valet parking were shockers. These guys also just stood around and watched my wife putting the bags in the truck while I checked out. No service whatsoever. The gym was tiny and illequiped for a hotel this size. The so called coffeshop in the lobby was a disaster in waittimes, efficiency and attitude. 2 days and 825 usd is insane. No breakfast. Never again , no thank you.

Consigliato!
Pros:

Nel complesso sono molto soddisfatto del soggiorno. Ho apprezzato la posizione a Marina del Rey, una zona piacevole dove rientrare dopo le giornate trascorse a Los Angeles. È stata una buona base per il mio viaggio e tornerei volentieri.

Cons:

Per visitare le diverse zone di Los Angeles bisogna mettere in conto parecchi spostamenti e il traffico può allungare molto i tempi. Un aspetto da considerare quando si organizza il soggiorno, ma che non ha compromesso la mia esperienza complessiva.
