The front desk “manager” Julian, could benefit from a crash course in hospitality. Their demeanor felt far more suited to a budget chain off the 405 than a property trying to brand itself as a boutique experience - The smug presentation was completely out of sync with the boutique atmosphere this hotel seems desperate to create while attempting to resurrect itself. I’m using the word “boutique,” only because there isn’t a better descriptor for “busted but trying” to recoup investor capital. It’s one thing when the nightly rate far exceeds the service delivered not uncommon; it’s another when an array of misc. charges appears to be the strategy for dragging this aging property back from the brink. With plenty of surrounding options offering better value—and likely far happier to welcome guests—If this hotel wants to succeed, it needs associates who are invested in the experience and ownership willing to fix what desperately needs attention.

You could not get regular TV- everything you had to pay to stream. Just wanted to watch CNN and coukd not. Also- you pay over 400$ a night and they don’t have free coffee in the lobby…ridiculous. So ok you have high end coffee shop then and 2 times my husband paid for drip coffee and it was cold and barista was clueless. So here is what you do: put out ( like most hotels do) a thermos of drip coffee in the am and if guests want fancy they order and pay for fancy. I kniw this is LA but come on.

Late night check in was a huge help after a delayed arrival. The Eden staff knew of my plans and someone was waiting at the front desk when I arrived around 2 a.m. Not sure if that’s typical, but it made check in effortless after a long travel day. The team was accommodating when I needed to adjust my reservation ahead of time, which I really appreciated. The rooms were private, quiet, and clean. The older boutique charm is a nice change from your typical name brand hotel. One thing to note is that some rooms don’t have standard showers but instead feature large jacuzzi tubs with built in showers. If traveling with someone elderly or needing easier access, it may be worth noting this with the hotel prior to your stay. The pool area was clean and calm, not heavily used during my stay. It was great for both relaxing by the water or getting work done. There was plenty of seating in both sun and shade, with options that offered a bit of privacy. Hotel is located directly across the street from the beach and walking distance to major shops, restaurants, and bars. The attached coffee shop was convenient for someone unfamiliar with the area seeking a local option that's not Starbucks. The space had open seating for guests to use along with a collection of games and books. Staff was friendly and helpful in providing suggestions for dinner and drinks.

We loved our stay at The Eden. The decor is great, especially in the rooftop bar. We stayed in the 2 bedroom/2 bathroom and it was perfect for us. Beautiful views of the ocean. It got pretty quiet at night even with windows open. The pool area was really cute and inviting. Nice hot tub and pool. Comfortable beds. Great location with lots of restaurants nearby.
