OK if you're in the right frame of mind
I stayed here two nights 20 years ago and found Venice Beach to be quite a fascinating place. It's still fascinating but is now shared with countless homeless people sitting and laying hither and fro. If this bothers you, don't come. Now, about the hotel:
First the good.: 1. The hotel was right on the beach and the ocean walk. 2. I was upgraded at no cost to the "Ocean Suite" from the " Ocean Queen". ( from a hotel room to a one bedroom suite). 3. The unit was recently remodeled. 4. The bed and matress was quite comfortable. 5. The shower was nice. Now the bad: 1. No stopper in the bathroom sink and an improperly installed sink aerator spraying water. 2. Missing knob on a kitchen cabinet. 3. No chairs in the unit. Only a (fake) leather love seat. 4. Bad stains on the carpet. 5. No coffee maker. 6. Only one remote control for two TVs. 7. No stools at the kitchen eating counter. 8. Loud music with a constant thumping from the retail unit below. Fortunately, it stopped about 7:00 PM. My comment to the desk clerk about this was met with indifference,
I would not bring children here.
