A step up from the rest of the neighborhood
Pros:

friendly staff, clean room, good security (especially meaningful given the neighborhood), and genuine character from the historic building.

Cons:

It is living somewhat in its past glory. You could see a lot of character that is no longer in top shape (i.e. the wood work was likely stained back in the day and is now painted with less than perfect detail. Venice Beach has a lot of trash and shady people trying to sell their wares.

Mediocre facility, decent location
Pros:

Location was good for the purpose of my stay

Cons:

It did not feel secure, old, run down property, rooms are mediocre, floors were dirty. It’s a very basic accommodation which was extremely overpriced in my opinion.

Bare minimum for a big price tag.
Pros:

Beach was as close as can be! They also had a portable A/C unit which helped keep the room cool during the hot weather.

Cons:

Website was completely misleading and showed photos of OTHER rooms, so we booked this room under false pretenses. We expected a much nicer room with more beds and amenities. LOL. Kitchen did not have utensils, soap, a sponge, or even enough glasses. Felt a little grungy (shower was icky, broken soap rack couldn't hold soap, paint was peeling, etc.) Room was minimal and did not look like the photos online, at all. (I'll attach a photo that shows a room with a rug, fresh fruit, flowers, two large mirrors, two large bookshelves, a standing lamp, dining area, etc. It looks like there are two large chaise lounges but those are actually the beds. There is another photo I'm attaching that shows a bedroom with a bed in it, and that is part of the listing for the large oceanfront studio as you can read, but that was NOT part of our room. It's 100% FALSE.) I contacted the management but they honestly didn't care. I even sent a video of the website showing the incorrect photos but they refused to acknowledge the situation.

Pros:

The best part of this hotel is undoubtedly the location. Being right on Venice Beach with direct ocean views was fantastic, and waking up to the view of the Pacific Ocean was a highlight of our stay. The area is lively, with easy access to the beach, restaurants, and the Venice Boardwalk.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the room itself did not meet our expectations. The room appeared poorly maintained, and there was occasionally a noticeable urine smell that made the stay less comfortable. In addition, the bed was in very poor condition and felt unstable, as if it was close to falling apart.

If the hotel invested more in room maintenance and improved the condition of the furniture and bedding, it could be an excellent place to stay because the location is truly outstanding.
