This is a nice and clean hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly. You have a good amount of parking space both outside and covered. The room was clean and comfortable. Everything was great and well maintained. Breakfast is not your standard hotel breakfast but more of a brunch food. Would come back again.

You coldn't ask for a superior location; The Inn at Venice Beach is precisely that -- a two-block stroll from the beach, that populated by a string of restaurants, coffee shops, and night spots. I'd particularly recommend the Baja Cantina, directly across from the parking lot. It's an excellent upscale Mexican restaurant. You pay to park at the Inn. Presently, the fare is $38/night, which is both robbery and comparatively low for the area. The 3 floors here are accessed by elevator, and the rooms are of reasonable size and cozy. Bedding was fabulous, and the A/C was effective and welcome. There's a coffee-maker and a small fridge in the room. Both were of great use. We had a sliding door with access to a tiny balcony; sadly, 90% of our view was of the tree that grew next to the Inn, the other 10% was of the street below. Notes? First, the bathroom is tiny. Really, small. To enter and close the door behind you, you almost need to stand in the tub. It 's a major "tell" that this is an older property. And the shower has a fixed head (one pattern setting, no adjustments of spray direction or angle). And there's a shelf that blocks the user from the shower's full spray and WILL hit you in the elbow as you maneuver around it. The tray belongs in the back of the shower, not the front. Lastly, it'd be nice to have the front desk manned by personnel fluent in English. It was occasionally difficult to make oneself understood by the staffers. Overall, liked it a lot. We will return

Great stay

The pool is fantastic and absolutely worth spending extra money on the cabana. The rooms are nice enough but not as good as some other hotels in the area. For example, there was only one tiny trash can in the bathroom. Also tiny holes in the curtains and a stain on one of the chairs. Not awful; still a nice room, but little areas of wear and tear. I did find it odd that they didn't hand out any kind of welcome items. Usually hotels will give you a printout or a card with information like guest wifi and all of that. I had to go down to reception to ask about that since the general wifi was slow. Overall, I had a nice stay, but those were just a few things I noticed. I will say the staff was phenomenally nice and helpful. And the location is killer.
