Venice on the Beach Hotel — Hotel in Los Angeles

Venice on the beach.|This hotel was the worst disappointment of our 4 week holiday.|The first disappointment was the reception clerk saying that there was no parking space for our car on the hotel premises, so we had to park our car on the public road. This was told to us by the most uninterested and rude reception clerk, we have ever met. There is no elevator. Then we entered the room where we were attacked by a thick gloric smell that made me instantly sick for 2 days. Then we found the earplugs on the nightstand, that says enough on it own. Then we wanted to load our telephone / computer, where the sparks came out of the lose hanging socked from the wall. In the room only 2 sockets. Very dangerous! The bathroom was another disaster: grotty, dirty with cracked tiles and dirty corners. Therefore shower with your eyes closed and pray for the best. The internet-wifi is either very very slow or not working at all. The heating / airco is not functioning so we had to sleep in a very cold room. The safe was locked when we entered the room and was therefore not usable for us. No fresh towels are provided during the stay and the rooms are really noisy, you can hear the neighbors literally. All in all: a big disaster and a big NO-GO, avoid these hotel premises! Hopefully the bed bugs have not found this hotel.|You can go up to the reception desk with this list of malfunctions and they might solve 1, 2 or maybe 3. Though for the price this hotel charges, you want it to work...

I love this place. You couldn't find a better location if you tried and the views of the beach and sunset are just beautiful.

We had read about the area being unsafe but what a load of rubbish. We happily slept with our windows open and didn't feel anything but completely safe all the time we were there and nearby. If you walk all the way up towards the SM end of Venice beach then yes, i wouldn't fancy being out late at night (but that is only my perception). This end of Venice is just lovely.

Charlie and the blonde girl at reception area both really helpful and friendly, and were loved helping ourselves to the fab coffee, bagels, cereal and fresh fruit on a morning. The roof area is a lovely spot to sit and eat, drink or just chill.

Location wise, you walk straight out onto the beach, which is not busy as you would expect, I guess because it is so vast, there is endless room for everyone. It's also less than a 5 minute walk to some great restaurants, bars, shops, and general Venice atmosphere.

The only room for improvement i would say is the shower could really do with an upgrade. Everything else is spotless, fresh and modern so this really did let it down. The room (a standard) was a bit too small for our liking but i will just be sure to go for a bigger room next time. Because without a doubt there will be a next time, this...
