Listen, this place was surprisingly fantastic. Please do not use the OUTSIDE of the hotel to judge the interior. It was brought to my attention that the rooms were recently renovated and after checking in and entering the property I was pleasantly surprised. The interior of this hotel rivals THE COMFORT INN at about have the cost. EVERYTHING was new and thoughtfully decorated: There are only 30 rooms and the rooms sit back from the street, so you avoid all of the foot and car traffic noise. Here's what we found:
1. Excellent and professional staff.
2. Check-in was efficiently done.
3. Room was immaculate.
4. Room was well decorated--both in color and materials.
5. The amenities were perfect at this price point. We had a fridge, microwave and desk for business and plenty of outlets to plug in our devices.
6. A bed with a TRUE HEADREST--and not an old painting sitting above you, I could sit up in bed and read without knocking off a painting. Thank you, so much!
7. The building was very quiet and safe.
8. A shower that gets JUST HOT ENOUGH but not too hot.
9. Carpeted hallways to cut down on the noise of foot traffic within the building.
We were truly shocked and impressed with this property. If you will be staying in the Venice, Santa Monica or Marina Del Rey and area, AND WOULD LIKE TO DO IT ON A BUDGET but not feel like you compromised anything, I highly recommend this place. They definite deserve the support of good clientele. Very well done, guys!
