베니스 비치 월도프

After spending two nights in a room we didn’t book, we were finally moved to an ocean view as promised. On top of that, they charge over $50 per day just to park in their own lot, which felt excessive. As a smoker staying in the penthouse, I assumed I could smoke outside on the rooftop. (Using a cup as an ashtray & not littering) Halfway through my stay, I received a text threatening a $400 fine for smoking, stating it’s not allowed in rooms or on the rooftop. When I spoke to a staff member about it, he admitted there were no signs posted stating this rule. Since I couldn’t smoke upstairs in a safe outdoor space, I went outside at night to have a cigarette near the front entrance. A front desk employee named Maya came out and rudely told me I couldn’t smoke there either and that I (a young woman) had to cross the street alone, at night, just to smoke. I’ve never dealt with so many issues at a hotel before, nor have I been spoken to so rudely by staff. The only highlight of my stay was NICK who was the only respectful and kind employee I encountered (besides housekeeping) Honestly, he’s the reason we didn’t check out early. Unfortunately, I will not be returning or recommending this hotel to anyone.

Absolute gem of a hotel, and decently priced. Upsides: -amazing location (right on Venice beach) -clean room and halls -good curtains for my fellow late sleepers -very helpful staff (they actually have an overnight desk person, which is more than I can say for many other hotels in the area) Downsides: -they do charge $55 for valet, so if you bring a car, be ready for that. -the roof is a little underwhelming, as it lacks an Oceanside view.

Hotel was cute and room was tiny. Location right on the board walk. Great coffee, breakfast, and pizza immediately out the front door. Super staff.

I highly recommend the PH level rooms. They are beachfront and you have a beautiful view. We were centrally located on the Venice beach ***** within easy walking distance to everything. The room was recently remodeled as well.
