The Kinney - Venice Beach

The gym is adequate.

Bedroom TV not working Bathroom light flickering

Very good

Beautiful room - ping pong tables , jacuzzi , private parking garage - loved this place

Needed location Noisy street noise from 2nd floor, not noise insulated from hallway chatter late at night

Superb

Great location! Clean and friendly. Easy parking.

Staff really helpful and friendly

Clean room, small pool, nice people at desk , really helpful and cool. Parking wasn’t too bad but they do charge . Better than expected and area has a lot of food

Jacuzzi and swimming pool are great, close to Venice really cool location. Parking quite expensive.

The location was excellent and the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The manager was amazing as well!

Very good

Only complaint is that there are no hooks in the room at all. No where to hang a towel. Thought that was weird.

The Kinney is a modern, stylish, and well-maintained hotel. Everything was clean, colourful, and thoughtfully designed, and the property looked exactly like the photos. The location is excellent for exploring the area. We enjoyed walking to the Venice Canal Historic District, Venice Beach, and Marina Del Rey Beach. By car, it is also a short drive to downtown Santa Monica and the main Santa Monica Beach area. Paid parking is available on-site, but we also found street parking nearby. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.

Exceptional

Most important for me is cleanliness. There was clean.

We liked the layout of rooms, the ease of entry and exit. We liked the friendly staff There was throw up in the elevator floor and the smell was really bad from the previous night into the morning.

Average stay can fault it too much but would have invested more for a improved stay Road noise

EVERYTHING! To be honest, I was very skeptical about this hotel at first. However, I can confidently say that I was completely proven wrong. My experience exceeded every expectation, and I am genuinely impressed. The staff is absolutely exceptional—attentive, helpful, kind, professional, and, most importantly, genuinely caring. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we felt welcomed and valued. Every interaction was pleasant, and it was clear that the team truly cares about creating the best possible experience for their guests. The rooms were impeccably maintained throughout our stay. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well cared for. I can honestly say that I have zero complaints—literally none. It is rare to stay somewhere and not find a single thing to criticize, but that was exactly the case here. What impressed me the most was the willingness of the staff to go above and beyond whenever assistance was needed. No request seemed too small, and every question was met with genuine enthusiasm and a desire to help. I have stayed at many hotels over the years, but I have never experienced this level of attentiveness and hospitality. A special shoutout to Heidi, who was absolutely wonderful. She was always smiling, always welcoming, and always ready to help in any way possible. She truly made our stay even more enjoyable and is a fantastic representative of the hotel’s commitment to excellent service. As for the location, it is excellent. The Kinney is conveniently situated near everything you need. Los Angeles is an enormous city, so it is unrealistic to expect any hotel to be next to every attraction, but this location offers great accessibility and convenience. If you are wondering where to stay while visiting Los Angeles, I wholeheartedly recommend The Kinney. In terms of overall accommodation, service, and hospitality, this has been one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had. I loved everything!

Comfortable, good decor, great location. Bikes on offer not very good.

I didn’t really enjoy my stay at this hotel because of several hidden charges that were not clearly explained upfront. When I checked out, I was told I had to pay an additional $11 per day for a city tax. Also, the small bottles of water placed in the room every day appeared to be complimentary, but I later found out they cost $5 each. Since they were replaced daily, it was misleading and should have been communicated more clearly. On top of that, I am still waiting to receive part of my deposit back, which has not yet been refunded. Please be aware of these extra charges if you decide to stay at this hotel.

Clean, functional and close to cafes,restaurants and Abbot Kinney for shopping. Missing Breakfast! The Jacuzzi could be a bit bigger and music in the background and a bar by the pool area

Location - close to beach, shopping restaurants Room size is spacious Good value Would have preferred more ammenities such as microwave

Hotel is cool and modern

Feedback: --The mattress was too soft for my liking. -- The bathroom light flickers first before coming on. (That should be an easy fix and should be addressed) -- The bathroom door slowly swings forward (which could indicate a foundation issue) -- the pool was heated and the jacuuzi was relaxing. I had a hectic schedule and looked forward to coming back to the hotel to decompress in a lovely space, inside and out. I would definitely come back again! All in all, I would definitely stay here again

Very nice hotel , beautifully furnished The location and the fact no facilities for breakfast or dining.

Very good

Great location and easy to find. Staff were friendly and welcoming but not that informative on check-in If you stay there request level 3 rooms only. It’s a refurbished older wooden building and the floor creaks when people above you walk…not to mention the stomper that was above me. Plus, when someone around you run the shower you hear all the old plumbing working like you’re sitting on it, it’s so loud.

Stayed here a few times! Super comfy beds All good

Really nice staff, comfortable rooms, and a good location. The shopping area on Abbot Kinney is just a 10 minute walk away, about the same distance to the beach. It is easy to find street parking though beware of LA's complex and confusing parking regulation signs. Be sure to read all of the signs to figure out whether it is OK to park for the days and times you need. Otherwise find another street.

Staff were so helpful and attentive! The room was spacious, air conditioning was great. I think the location is superb if you have a car. The room was a bit outdated.

Great location, nice design. Specious room equipped with all you need for a few days stay. Complimentary water was unavailable: it was impossible to open the window.

Clean and tidy, gym and pool/hot spa add to the facilities. Ping pong, gas fireplace and outdoor bar area.

Really clean, spacious rooms, comfy bed, really friendly staff

But the hotel was not in a place I would consider walkable at night. We walked to the beach during the day and it was a 20+ minute walk.

Exceptional

The Kinney Hotel was exactly what we wanted - simple, clean, spacious, with secure parking. The room had everything we needed and felt really comfortable. The standout however was definitely the location - it is right off of Abbot Kinney Boulevard. Overall it was a really positive experience and I'd definitely consider coming back when visiting Los Angeles.

This hotel is quirky and fun. It’s a good stopover for 1-2 nights. The playlist being played isn’t the communal areas was fantastic! Staff were really friendly and helpful :) If you have a room next to the shared areas you can feel overlooked, so if that bothers you be sure to request a room away from the centre. Pool is very small and looks onto the road.

Style is really cool but the rooms are a bit dated in amenities. Shower felt old but relatively clean. Property seemed to have some nice amenities such as the outdoor bar and pool area but both were closed due to rain and cold weather when I was there. Great location!

Good location Fire alarm went off 2 mornings in a row. TV didn’t work in my room. Had an extra $11/day fee after I had already paid in full through booking.com

Great hotel my kids were super happy with the pool. We definitely will be back.

When we arrived, we were told to text the front desk if anything about the room was not exceeding expectations. We had already texted the front desk with other hotel-related questions and received responses, but by the time we reached out to complain about the noise/music issue, nothing was done and no one responded to our complaint. There was also clear mildew in the bathroom on the grout and around bath fixtures. We also found a hair in one of the plastic “sealed” water cups. It was blond and neither of us are blond, so we were quite grossed out. We were not pleased to be charged an additional $11/night as an ordinance fee as our stay (including fees) was already paid for and the rate should have been honored, with the Kinney absorbing the cost of the new ordinance if needed. We have again reached out to the Kinney and they have said that they have documented the feedback, but offered nothing useful, so don't trust any replies they leave.

Room was nice and much bigger than average hotel room

The location had many homeless people outside living in their cars

Super nice staff gave me late checkout, hot water for oatmeal, let me put my cooler's ice packs in their freezer. Felt safe in the building. Very comfy beds, soft sheets. Fun decor and communal hangout spaces. Our room was quiet, not facing the street or a communal space - those rooms would've for sure been louder! Walls didn't feel paper thin (though I could hear things in the hallway pretty clearly). Very clean. Didn't go in the pool but it looked nice (small though). Kid loved ping pong and hammocks. Good water pressure, nice bath products. Rooms felt nicely updated. Other guests were polite. Nicely stocked and not overpriced snack bar in the lobby. Not fancy but felt clean, safe, and comfortable, and I enjoyed the decor. Neighborhood isn't terrible but it's not great either. Some lived-in RVs on the street, lots of strip malls & abandoned or under construction buildings. Not as close to Venice Beach or Abbot Kinney as I'd thought. Ended up driving everywhere. This was clearly a budget motel with a veneer of hipster murals / renovation to make it appeal to a certain set. The $38 a day parking fee felt steep, but there was plenty of free street parking within a block (be careful about Monday morning street sweeping!).

We love The Kinney - rooms are clean and spacious, great facilities to suit families or couples, friendly team who always greet you with a smile, and awesome location if you want more of a ‘local’ feeling neighborhood. Check out the shops along Abbot Kinney Blvd, great local shopping, coffee and generally a cool vibe. Can’t wait to come back!!

Great parking game too bad you have to pay for it. Great hotel close to McKinney close to the beach.

Great location, good amenities and room

The rooms are nice but there stuffy and the mats are wild. It’s hard to get the staff to help. And the only silverware available is plastic and you get what you get. In room refrigerator does not keep food cold.

Great room with nice arty decor, sofa as well as generous bed size. Car parking on site and bike hire were both very convenient extras despite cost.

The room decor, the shared spaces, the amenities, and the great location. I wish they offered a warm breakfast on site and a free water station. I didn’t like the high fee for parking, but we were able to find street parking.

Very nice decorated rooms.

Expensive parking lot

I like how we could get the bikes and go downtown and I like this ping-pong tables and the pool and spa and the value was good I didn’t like that you had to pay for the parking or pay to ride the bikes and it was a little far from the beach than I expected

Lovely clean large room, well equipped but could do with some sound insulation on the window as road noise at night is quite loud. Pool area really well maintained & clean. Would recommend to anyone as long as you drive or don’t mind a walk to the beach

Excellent stay!

Nice and clean rooms

My new fave spot to stay in Venice

the LA visitor fees . ew.

Our room was close to the pool so sometimes there was noise in the early morning or night. But overall it was not a big problem

The hotel is a cleanly designed adaptation of an older building . For the area, the price is decent. The rooms are large, and nicely appointed. The communal pool/ firepit hangout area could be fun , if a little outside space is what you are looking for with your stay. Be aware that the windows of many rooms are into communal walkways or spaces, so offer little privacy- curtains would need to be closed- no views and restricted light. There is street parking around back , but it is an urban area, and the paid, covered garage may feel safer. For the money in the area, it is a good choice- if mainly you will be out of the room, or your room has an exterior window. The staff were very friendly , and the room was spotless. I did not like having to keep my curtains closed. There was also an LA county fee of $11/ day which I was not made aware off.

the hot tub and social area, the staff room felt a bit dated, airy, and not the cleanest

Great location! Great facility!

Great stay near the beach!

There really was no secured entry. Building doors were open to the street at all hours and no keyed entry to the elevator either. Sometimes there is no staff in the lobby. Makes it feel a bit unsafe. Overall a no frills stay but it’s not worth the price. A stay at budget chain hotel / motel would probably be a step up.

The Kinney is in a perfect location for Venice and Marina Del Rey and close to freeways do everything else. I love the art throughout and the spaces are thoughtfully curated. The staff was always pleasant and helpful. N/A

Large and interesting room, King suite. The pool and fun rooms on the second floor are very nice. Parking garage is excellent.

Comfy beds, well decorated and great location.

Staff was nice. Hotel wasn’t in the best walking area

Nice everything

Hope to comeback, will be my Hotel of choice when in LA

I would def stay here again. We don’t use the pool or other amenities but did see people enjoying them. Thank you to the staff - we had fun.

Quite a far walk to the beach, clean room, pool

They even give us a better room for free Maybe doors and windows are not good enough sound isolated

Everything was great! As very much enjoyed our stay! Thank you!!

- Clean - Quiet during night - Good AC - Bathroom well stocked - Lots of towels - Friendly staff - Private parking - Expensive parking ($38) - No late checkout - Felt very rushed to leave in the morning - Cleaning crew knocked on my door in the morning even though I had the card on the handle - I couldn't connect to the Wi-Fi the way the staff explained to me, but I figured it out another way

Sweet little gitel with lots of character. I really liked the grounds and how each area had something to do. The kids loved the colors and the pool. Rented some bikes from the hotel and peddled to the beach. Really enjoyed the stay...There isnt much noise cancelation in the rooms...I will still give it a 5 because most hotels have that issue.

Pool is small but warm. Cute rooms. Good service

Staff weee always present and helpful. Great hot tub and pool area! Great location.

Love this hotel! See you next year.

The room was very clean, the patio area, pool, and hammocks were all very well maintained, and the staff was very friendly.

Clean room, quiet considering the prime location!

Courteous staff, clean rooms and the beds were super comfortable! Excellent basic hotel.

Room was clean and bed was very comfortable!

Great spot, nice pool, easy parking, big rooms!

Excelent place to stay

Clean. Nice staff. Bed was a bit creaky and sunken

Immaculate. Quirky, staff was wonderful. Loved the hot tub and ping pong. Just a cool space!

Stayed 2 nights, clean, comfy bed, goid shower. First night was quiet and I slept like a baby. Second night was loud, some noise sustained and some more periodic, and I did not sleep at all. Ask for a room on 3rd floor, away from street and not by pool/bar on 2nd floor and not by elevator. Staff was very nice. Great taco shop and liquor store a few doors down, away from beach.

Very thin walls including the ceiling so whenever someone is walking upstairs (like if they’re having friends over at 3am) you will be unable to sleep.

Exceeded my expectations! Has everything you could want really

Second time here! As expected, the rooms were spotless, bed was comfy, showers with good pressure and good hot water. Great location near Abbott Kinney, Venice Canals and Beach. Marina Del Rey…we will be back!

Clean room, nice staff , good ammenities,

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that their food delivery service was unavailable on a Friday night (after selecting food from different restaurants for 20 minutes).

Staff were very helpful, room was spacious, and relaxing by the outdoor fire in the evening was nice!

The rooms are fun. Decor is great. Very clean

Wonderful

Staff was great, room was clean and cute, area felt safe.

It was perfect !

Parking was easy and accommodations just what is needed! Great location close to beach and food.

Great

Hot tub

Great

Good place to stay, excellent location, good staff, clean room, however the parking lot I think it’s a bit overpriced at $38 per night.

A 1 year old can easily open the doors in the rooms. So if you have any young kids during your stay you'll have to be extra vigilant throughout the night even if the chain is on the door.

38$ a night fir parking was a jokr

The hotel is aiming for a funky fun vibe. The central courtyard with plastic grass and ping pong was kitschy and had several guests hanging out. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom shower stall was in okay but not perfect condition. Overall it was a positive experience, although I prefer more polished hotels. The hotel charges for parking in their garage but free street parking on the same block was readily available.

Great stay again! Easy checkin, lots of safe parking, clean big room.

Dirty room. Asked for towels never got them. Mold

The staff was nice and thankfully the beds were super comfortable. The building was in surprisingly good shape for its age but it did feel like the renovations were done cheaply so it wasn’t holding up well. The property felt old and abused. Neither of us minded this, the location was fine but for the price we just felt like we could have done better.

Good location. Great staff. A safe and convenient low key place

It is a basic hotel. The to was clean bit with no amenities. There is underground parkiing.

Room was clean, staff were great!

Great location and easy transport links. Walked to Venice Beach. Lots of dining options nearby and on the way to the beach. Hotel is very nice with great amenities. We used the hot tub but water was barely warm, informed manager who said they'd rectify it. Pool was warmer. Both refreshing after a long day.

Room was clean, quiet, comfortable, stylish in a good area. The front desk was helpful and on site security was nice. I will stay here again!

Good

Great location

Parking was easy - pictures are a bit misleading on the website. Overall cute inside but outside is just ok

great

Such a sick place!

The place looks good; nice lobby, the way the outdoor pool and rest area with ammocks are deigned along the corridors to the rooms is cool. The room itself was good enough. Clean, comfy bed and hot shower.

The room was very stylish and in a great condition. Swimming pool with a hot tub. Walking distance to pizza place and Chinese restaurant. Walking distance (10-15 min) to Venice beach. Very safe and quiet neighborhood.

It was fine

The rooms are fun, nicely upgraded and colorful, very clean, comfy beds. The only thing I’d suggest is towel bars or hooks in the bathroom area. Our room had none.

Great place. Nice staff

Room was perfectly clean, very newly Well decorated. Has a working elevator, and awesome security that watches cars in lot. Staff was amazing and very accommodating when my husband needed late checkout because I had surgery. 5 minutes drive to

Clean room with great amenities

Very clean convenient place.

Clean room , convenient location , friendly staff .. will be back !

Excellent service!

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. The hotel was lovely, the staff excellent and the location was great.

The staff were lovely!

I’ve stayed at the Kinney several times and I’ve never been disappointed.

There’s nothing fancy about the place but if you love a clean room, super comfy bed, and great staff, this is the place to stay. The room is cute the way they decorated it and I would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely loved the Kinney! Such a fun inviting vibe. It was close enough to walk to the boardwalk and the multiple options for food on Washington blvd kept us full our whole vacay!

Great place to stay at!

Clean Room , Gentle Staff, a good cost benefit near Abott Kinney Shopping street .

It’s a very 3 star hotel: good for a brief stay, good location. Pool and hot tub were small but fine. Gym was small but also fine. The standout was the service. The room actually exceeded expectations in size and cleanliness. The TV did not work so the manager on site came to look at it and comped parking because it wasn’t fixed. It was a small gesture but it stood out to me as effluent service recovery

Very pleased with my stay at the Kinney, i stayed twice during my visit in California. The area is about a mile from venice and its very quiet and didn't see any sketchy people around which is the best bonus. Rooms are very nice and clean, staff is very nice as well. my first stay my fire alarm went off randomly but the employee comp'd my parking charge to make up for it so that was very nice of them. I DEFINITELY recommend staying here.

Cute, clean hotel with very friendly staff. Great covered parking.

Neat and clean

parking was an extra $30- Ripoff

Beautiful design, perfect location, comfortable parking

Parked out by the campers out front.

Solid

Wonderful hotel with excellent customer service. Hotel is in the perfect location and the room was everything we needed for our stay.

I love The Kinney! I stayed here one night five years ago and chose to rebook for a longer stay this past week. What a great location, quiet but so close to things to do. Comfy, clean... I have no complaints at all.

We had a great time, staff was accommodating, the room was clean and orderly, it was very close to lot of extracurricular activity and it was a great walk to the beach. I literally walked to the beach every single day in the morning and it was beautiful.

The hotel was great. Large rooms

Super clean and cute boutique hotel. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect place to stay in Venice Beach. We really loved this hotel! Nice and friendly staff. Comfortable and clean. Highly recommended

Quite Very clean Great staff

Good

Awesome place to stay

The room was clean and reasonable for its price point, though the location wasn’t particularly appealing. The property felt more like a renovated motel than a hotel.

Fantastic little old style but funky updated hotel with a motel feel. Our family of four had a King Quad suite - with safe, mini fridge, 2x TV's and air conditioning. The pool/hot tub area is small but lovely. The hammocks and lounge area are also a great place to hang out. The ice machine is beside the pool, the gym is small but well appointed and has a cold filtered water machine which we used to refill our water bottle daily. The hotel is a few blocks off the beach so it's quiet but close to lots of dining options. It's about a 20 minute drive to Santa Monica Pier. It's also close to (within a 5 minute drive) to: Costco, Trader Joe's, Aldi's, In and Out Burger and Chick-fil-A. There's a cute little old school bar across the street and a laundry mat. Other than the $30 a night parking fee the Kinney was perfect for us 😍

Fridge didn’t work very well, noisy air con. Spacious room and cute decor. Not sure it was worth the price though.

We really enjoyed our stay

Good location and nice ammenities

Great for price, neighborhood a bit seedy but interesting

Really nice property close to the beach, numerous restaurants and bars. Exactly as described on the website. We would definitely stay here again when back in the area.

Staff was extremely friendly.

Cozy place , I enjoyed my stay

Absolutely perfect for what we needed :)

Great location with plenty of parking available.

Front desk was excellent.

Very nice hotel, and trendy vibe. Most positive was the friendly staff at the front desk who accommodated a last minute change super fast. Highly recommend!

We loved this property but sadly never had a chance to get in the pool or use hammocks. Safe was very friendly and attentive, making us feel very safe. Bed and pillows were super comfortable. I’m not sure if these are in all the rooms but this little note was pinned next to bathroom mirror. I loved all the little touches. Would highly recommend

Great spot by the beach pool and clean rooms nice staff

Clean, quiet and convenient

Beautiful and clean

A clean hotel with a sunny pooldeck and a fun vibe could be better served in a more secure area.

Two night stay. Qiuet room. Renovated and well decorated room. Love the art on the outside and inside (great murals painted by Vargas). Comfy bed and nice bathroom. AC and fridge are in the room. No breakfast, but option with a dlivery at your room. We didn't use it. Walking distance (20 min) to the beach.

Fun place to stay. Short walk to Venice Beach, the Canals, breakfast options and dinner places nearby. Small enough that staff recognized us and large enough to have a pool, open space.

Worth the price. As with any area near Venice Beach, there are some sletchy folks around. Glad they have security guards on the property

Hip and full of Euro Trash. Not my scene but cool concept for a mid century turn over.

Location

Cool vibes

My family and I had a trip into town unexpectedly and they were able to accommodate on the short notice without flaw everything was on point and they went above and beyond to make our experience not only satisfactory but absolutely enjoyable. We will be returning

Filthy, smelly, insect infested. The owners clearly gave up a long time ago.

Undergoing renovations causing some disruption with room availability at check in, and noise during day time hours.

Very cool hotel, & the beds were really comfortable

Well-managed. Teeny pool. Little public areas

Nice spot to stay in a good location

We past a really fun time on the pool and jacuzzi

I love this hotel. My boys and I come here annually. We enjoy the hot tub, ping pong tables and hammocks.

Superb, Chic hotel! The location is fantastic to everything Venice Beach.

It’s an inside outside hotel. I went the only time it was raining and would get wet to walk to the elevator.

Everything was perfect - the room was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The hotel itself is very cute but was clean and as pictured. Great location to Venice Beach, would recommend and stay again for sure

It was good.

The king room with a view of the quad was great for our family, easy access to play area and swimming pool. The room was spacious enough for two people. The front desk service was also great. If you want to be in the middle of Santa Monica and Englewood and other parts of the city, the Kinney is a pretty central location. There is also neighborhood parking - though not on street sweeping days - so that was a nice perk too.

Great hotel in a not as great neighborhood

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The decorating was super fun and cool. It is clearly an older space that has been refreshed. It was clean. The downside was that it it did not seem very well insulated so it sounded like the window was open when it was shut and you could hear everything in the hallways. This also meant it was humid in the room and the fan in the bathroom didn’t really seem to work to clear out the steam.

We had a great stay and would come back again.

Love this place. Always a good stay and safe and convenient.

Clean. Pleasant staff. Cool building.

Staff are very helpful, the quad area is fun and relaxing, it’s a very clean hotel. It’s a good location, lots of dining options a short walk or drive away. Close enough to the beach and tourist areas that it’s walkable, without being in the middle of it all. Would stay again and recommend to others

Really good spot to access venice and marina. Really nice staff and big tooms

very helpful staff

Clean, cute rooms. Hot tub was cold so that was a bit disappointing but the parking was easy and reasonable.

We love the hotel

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this property! The room was clean, and we loved relaxing in the hot tub every night. The only downside was that our room faced the main road, making it extremely noisy, as the soundproofing wasn’t great. If we had a different room, this wouldn’t have been an issue. The WiFi was also quite slow, but since we didn’t come to LA to be on our phones, it wasn’t a big deal. Overall, we had a great time! I’d recommend The Kinney for its convenient location—about a 20-minute walk to the ocean and marina—and its proximity to great local restaurants. 😊

Nice location

Staff was extremely helpful and kind. Room decor was excellent. Would stay again.

Like proxmity and hot tub.

The hotel was very unique!

So many dining options within walking distance, boardwalk, MDR, Venice Pier, Venice canals, etc.so convenient!

Stayed at the Kinney for a week and had a wonderful stay! The staff were excellent. We took out the bikes and they made 2 of our days a complete blast! The hot tub and common area was enjoyable as well. We would definitely stay again if we return.

Stayed for two days, was hard to find a place for dinner after 8 pm

Proximity.

No frills accomodation, with ample rooms and a nice hut tub. The place is a bit dated for the price. Perhaps if it was grower it would be spot on.

Great bedding and pillows. Slept comfortably.

Had everything we needed, nice location, friendly staff & lovely clean rooms

Great hotel with and even better vibe. Fun hotel filled with art, vintage and fun!

Friendly service!

Staff are friendly and helpful.

Nice and clean

Good location and staff. A bit dated but well spruced up. The pool is ideal for small kids.

Hot tub was great!

hotel was all right, I liked a bit more other Kinney hotels I stayed

Property was clean and comfortable. Staff was excellent. Parking was easy

The road is really noisy and busy. The light switches and plug sockets didn’t work properly. The bathroom lighting was awful

Good

Great room and very good level of cleanliness. Within walking distance of the beach and a host of other amenities, such as shops, eateries, bars, etc. The only downside was the closeness to main road / boulevard.

A couple of things that weren’t so great. It is really nice having the little pool and jacuzzi. However I was put off by the dead flies floating in the pool and dirt on the base of the pool. Next day it was the same. Our room had a smell of damp and unfortunately the windows didn’t open. So after a shower when it felt like there was a lot of moisture around we ended up leaving our room door open to circulate air. We washed some swimming costumes out after swimming but they just didn’t really dry as the levels of humidity in the room were too high. Overall this is a good hotel and for this area it represents good value for money.

Staff was nice, we saved a cat together.

The rooms are nice and beds are very comfortable

It was exactly what I was looking for

We had a great stay overall. The only thing was the AC didn’t work to good and got really hot in the room. But overall very cozy place

Meh. Don't get a room facing the street if you don't enjoy vehicle noise all night. Front desk check-in experience was akin to the jaded reception counter at an urgent care. Not unfriendly, but not friendly either.

Also the last night a sewer roach walked by me so that left me uneasy. A lot of homeless out front. I didn’t like that either.

Very cool vibe.

Very nice and clean

I paid a deposit on the room to cover potential damage. The rooms were left undamaged and yet a week later I still have not had the deposit returned.

Good stay for what we needed. Service was great. Hotel is a little outdated. But it felt safe and comfortable.

This looked like a super cute property with good reviews, so I was surprised to have a completely different experience. The room had no lights in the front room, one hanging light completely gone. The two TV’s did not work, there was no shampoo in the bottle, it was left empty. There was a fight right outside our door. I have many photos to post for a review. Stay for a party if you want but don’t expect lights or TV’s and homeless people to greet you.

Very unfriendly staff...English was horrific! NEVER again in this dump!

OH EM GEEEE... you have to stay here!! It was amazing! Our only complaint was that we had to leave so soon. The pool, the swing, everything was great. The front desk guy was so kind and nice. We enjoyed every bit of this stay. We already cant wait to get back.

Nice room, clean and spacious. Pool and hot tub were inviting

Staff were very friendly. Facility was beautiful, felt like a mini resort! Rooms were big and clean. Great location as well, walkable to a few coffee shops. Very close drive to the beaches. Would recommend ear plugs for sleeping - you can hear everything in the hallways but it did not bother me personally!

Really nice and cute. Upscale hotel in a great walkable area to Venice Beach. The hotel is funky and cool :-)

Nice and relaxing, public transport accessible

It was nice! Just watch out of the extra cost once you get there! “Parking”

\fabulous tay at a cool spot with cool rooms and layout in an excellent location!

The hotel was solid. Cute rooms, but pretty noisy and no internal hallways or keycards required for elevator, so not the safest. Staff was friendly, but there’s no way to call the front desk and no one answered the text number for customer service. Wouldn’t be my first choice to stay out in the future, but is a totally decent place to spend the night.
