nice hotel, slightly seedy area
Stayed in a sea view room, good size, clean and comfortable.
Area around hotel slightly seedy at night - but i expect that is just Venice...
walked to Santa Monica Pier..also ate lunch in a nice restaurant in Venice Joe's on Abbott Kinney Blvd.
drank in the rooftop bar - very good but you do need reservations.
last night/morning was spoilt at 6am by a fire alarm, we vacated the room unnecessarily as it turned out...it was a false alarm...staff didn't apologise at the time or when we checked out....very poor customer service!
