The location was another huge plus - Being able to walk right over to Trader Joe’s was so convenient, and our room was spotless and very well maintained; after a busy day, we loved returning to our room and sitting on the balcony admiring the view- it was lovely The only downside was the mattress, I preferred my mattress a bit firmer - Other than that, everything else was wonderful, and we’d happily stay there again.

Quiet rooms with plush towels and robe. The bed and linens were comfortable. Everything was very clean. The SALT restaurant was excellent with very friendly and attentive staff. Parking is $52 a night. The clerk at the front desk gave us a room on the first floor facing the parking lot and behind the cafe. We requested a different room from a different clerk and were put on the third floor.

Nice space but seriously lacking. Asked for the room to be taken care of by 1 PM since I was having company, that wasn’t accomplished. Paid for a room upgrade and they put me on the first floor next to the concierge’s desk (super high traffic area). Went to take a shower in the morning and the water never got hot, only luke warm. Better to stay at a holiday inn!

Really enjoyed our stay at the hotel (we were there at start and end of our holiday). Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Location is good as right in the heart of the Marina - lots of good walks by the sea close by. Also close to Venice / Venice Beach - 5/10 mins by Uber or an easy bike ride - the hotel has bikes for hire. We were really lucky that we got complimentary hires as there was a bit of disruption in the hotel on the day (smoke detector testing) and managed to cycle to Santa Monica and back on very good cycle route. The pool and jacuzzi were very good, and also a nice bar with terrace looking out to the Marina. There are no rates including breakfast. There is a small coffee shop at the hotel with a small selection of pastries - but there are other breakfast options close by - Alfred Cafe is good. There is a car park but is Valet Parking only - so a charge for this plus tips.

The big 2 issues with this property: "valet only" parking ($52/day!) and $40/day resort fee. They did say I would have a $20/day credit against the $40/day resort fee and I could just grab waters or sodas from the deli in the lobby or against room service. This was helpful but really? $40/DAY resort fee ON TOP OF $52/DAY parking? This is excessive. Also, while I was there, they were having an annual fire alarm testing situation and warned me that the day after I checked in, there could be some alarm sounds. SOME? The fire alarm went off every 5-10 minutes ALL DAY. It was very irritating especially since it was my first day there and I was very tired from traveling and had no plans to leave that day. I went to the desk to lodge my concern and other guests were there as well, even to check out. Other minor issues: mini fridge froze everything within 24 hours, no control; ran out of shower gel day 2; no hooks for towels in bathroom; ordered from the restaurant one time and the food was not great, I basically sent it back and you have no control over tipping -- it is automatically added; also, pretty much only seafood onsite; lots of wear and tear in the room -- broken drawer rail, torn curtains, broken curtain pulls, etc.; antiquated phone system. And yes, I did report these issues to the desk and they seemed interested in fixing!

I stayed here many times several years ago due to business trips for meetings in the area. It had just been renovated at that time and was convenient for LAX but also a great retreat from the hustle. I booked here again for this trip due to local meetings and really didn't expect the hotel, rooms etc to be in the same condition as I remembered, thoughI was wrong. Everything still feels fresh and well kept. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and the surrounding marina views are so unique.

⸻ I stay here often and always enjoy the location, especially the close proximity to LAX. The area around the marina has been cleaned up beautifully, making it a really pleasant place to spend time walking along the water. The bar scene at the hotel is lively, particularly on weekends and during live music nights. The restaurant is also excellent, with a great selection of Mediterranean-inspired dishes. The seafood tower is fantastic, and the lobster cocktail was a standout. The mixologists behind the bar are also top notch. Another big plus is the walkability — you can easily get to Venice, along with great shopping and restaurants nearby. Overall, it’s a great place to stay whether you’re visiting Los Angeles or just passing through.

The restaurant has fantastic food, friendly bar staff, and beautiful marina views. You can walk to Trader Joe’s, REI, the Venice Beach Boardwalk, and the Playa del Rey jetty. It’s about 20 minutes from LAX, making arrivals and departures easy. Venice’s restaurant scene has kept its cultural vibe, and I still enjoy visiting my longtime favorites. The nearby wetlands are a peaceful bonus. Service at the hotel is consistently great, the property always smells fresh, and I love watching the yachts in the harbor. The downsides: valet-only parking can get expensive, and the gym is quite small. If you’re only staying a couple nights and using Uber, though, it’s an easy choice. This remains my go-to whenever I’m in or passing through Los Angeles.

The pool , Salt restaurant and the outside bar with fire tables were awesome.

Would highly recommend staying at this hotel, proximity to everything is great.

Stayed a couple of nights before a cruise. Lovely setting in a clean and safe marina area with shops and restaurants in walking distance. Room bright and clean with spacious balcony overlooking the boats. The only minor negatives were a very noisy bar - it was quite busy with nobody behaving loudly but a very low ceiling with almost all hard surfaces so inevitably noisy. The bathroom had poor lighting at the sink which made putting on make up difficult. Bring your own illuminated mirror!

Front desk clerk at check-in and checkout was exceptional. Unfortunately, I had a two star experience at dinner in the bar.

I would never stay here again! You can tell this is an old hotel. You can here everything that goes on. Everything that we tried to order we were told sorry we are out. I ordered 1 lb of king crab claws and they gave me snow crab! I told them this is not what I ordered and was told they were out of king crab. I told them I would eat it but im not paying the same price and was told you are still getting a lb of crab. I tried to explain king crab costs a lot more than snow crab but they wouldn't listen so I sent it back. TV would not shut off and stayed lit all night. Bathroom is so small you could hardly move around.

Unfortunately this place needs an update . The staff was excellent. The views were amazing . Lobby upholstery was stained ( I didn’t even sit down so gross) room was musty, Tiles in room were loose and missing grout. No glassare in the room, just 2 plastic cups . Chair at fire pit fell apart as friend was sitting in it. Ripped pillows at pool beds. Simple things like a free water or coffee in the lobby for guests should be standard. This should not be a 4 star hotel. This was our 3rd hotel in the trip and the 2 others were superb.

Staff was very helpful with any questions we had. Room was clean as well the outside patio / pool and the hot tub. Bar area was nice with a nice bon fire in the evening. Valet parking, easy parking, easy to get the car just txt a number before going down and it’s right there. Stayed 3 nights. Would definitely stay again.

Terrific restaurant and a great breakfast bar. Staff was nothing but friendly and helpful, room was clean and bright. You can't beat the view of the marina. Furniture could definitely use a refresh. valet parking fee was a little high at 50 per night, but it beats walking to the public lot 10 minutes away. would definitely stay again.

Great place to stay. From valet to check in/out the staff were great. Room was very nice, great view of the marina. Breakfast was delicious. Only issue was lack of garbage bins on the outside edge of the property. This is a dog friendly hotel but not a lot of places to throw dog waste away without going back into the property.

You can easily walk to the number 3 Big Blue Bus stop which will take you to Venice or Santa Monica along Lincoln Boulevard; it’s lovely also to walk around the Marina itself. I got confused extending my stay and this App and the hotel cooperated to help me sort it out. I loved the spacious room, airy balcony with marina views and the charming pool area

Great spot on the marina with shopping and restaurants within walking distance. It was also a reasonable walk to the beach.

Great value for the money. Clean, good looking hotel. Rooms was pretty good, not amazing. I guess this is pretty common for LA but the area is not walkable. A small hotel. Warm pool. The marina is also packed with boats, it’s not like a nice waterfront view, though there is some visible water.

Nice hotel, clean/modern rooms, restaurant on site (a bit pricey), however, the parking is valet only at $52 a night. Only other option is to park about 5 min away in overnight public parking which is not secured or convenient. Be aware that there sometimes are seals hanging out in the marina and can be heard in the middle of the night.

This is my fourth or fifth time staying here. I love the hotel. It’s everything that I love about Southern California: walkable, oceanfront, marina view, trendy restaurants, and people watching. I’m from here so it says a lot that I choose to stay here instead of with my parents.

My room did have the terrace with a view of the marina as advertised, but you had to look beyond the parking lot. Plus, since my room was the first off the lobby, the valet station was right outside the room, so there was a lot of activity and noise at times. And there was a little smell in the room, so I did have the terrace door open to air it out.

Really good hotel and location. Services (restaurant SALT on site) should be massively improved, waiting time are massive and since they are open to people outside of the hotel, waiting times are ridiculous for breakfast (over 1h). Hotel is really good and rooms have perfect view over the marina. Would be great if they offered parking more affordable… and didn’t force valet

I am in a wheelchair for a broken ankle and they were able to get us into a room that accommodated everything I needed. Beds were so soft and everyone is so friendly. The restaurant is amazing. And the pool is heated and luxurious. I requested a late checkout and was a little later and they gave us a half hour extra. I was so pleased I will for sure be back again. Thank you Marina Del Ray staff for the best stay.

Property is dated. Feels like high end 3 star hotel. Carpets in room need to be replaced, air conditioning wouldn’t set to the temp you wanted it so the room was always muggy and warm. Weird smell in room, something between cleaning solution and musty odor. Someone unfortunately pooped in the pool and it was shut down (in front of us) rather than drain it, they reopened it the next morning. Prior to that, they didn’t have towels at the pool because they were short on staff and towels.. Service at the breakfast place was incredibly slow. Overall, this property could use some love…updates needed.

I will definitely return to this hotel. You will not beet the top notch service from the valet parking to check-in to food service by the pool! Great longe and happy hour. Beautiful (and busy ) pool area and huge hot tub. Plenty of tables and poolside lounge chairs. The bed was comfy, the room was quiet, other than the sound of guests by the pool. However, with the sliding glass doors shut, even that was quiet. The balcony is large with two chairs and a table. They do have rooms overlooking the other side of the Marina on the restaurant side, that side gets full sun. I chose the poolside, marina view. Lots of space to walk along the Marina and plenty of restaurants nearby. It is a very quick drive to Venice Beach or Santa Monica Pier as well. Whether you want to lounge poolside or get out a bit this is the place to treat yourself. Also, June through August is Sunday Funday by the pool. Tacos and DJ music till 6 pm. It was a really fun atmosphere. The rest of the days were very peaceful. I recommend this hotel as a fantastic vacation experience.

A special shoutout to Paola from housekeeping, who was assigned to clean our room and helped us recover our forgotten laptop charger after we checked out. Her integrity is truly appreciated, and the front desk made the pickup process quick and easy via email. We were happy we didn’t need to replace it which would’ve costed us. Overall, MDR delivered comfort, service, and thoughtful touches that made our staycation feel like a true getaway. We’ll definitely be back! I recommend to anyone staying to walk to local eateries and stores nearby, it’s a really cool way to do some yacht sightseeing. If you’re lucky, you might see a sea lion or two.
