Somewhat disappointing
I had been promised a room with a view but the view in the small cramped room turned out to be of the tops of the buildings next door, complete with ugly metal things. I will say that the next day they did move us into the room across the hall that I requested and that actually did have a fine view and a tiny bit larger, or at least felt larger with the bigger windows. It was clean and the beds were fine. The bathroom was adequate. They seem to be doing a few small upgrades in some. We weren't used to not even having a coffee pot in the room. Hallways and staircases were outdated and a little depressing. It was somewhat noisy but after the Memorial Day holiday ended it was much quieter, at least during the week. Location is convenient, at one end of Venice Beach and we were able to walk to Santa Monica( which is a much nicer location).
