Staying at the Venice Beach Suites was a mixed experience. The rooms, while not exactly as pictured online, were spacious and lovely with exposed red brick and modern amenities. The service was friendly and helpful, especially with tips provided before our stay. The location on the Boardwalk at Venice Beach was amazing, but the rough surroundings were a downside. The dining was satisfactory with breakfast options, and the facilities were decent overall.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms that are basic but cozy, with a few issues like the smell of smoke if the window is left open due to the lack of air conditioning. The service provided was excellent with resourceful and friendly staff who were eager to help and provide valuable tips about the neighborhood. The location is ideal for experiencing Venice Beach but may not be recommended for solo female travelers due to safety concerns in the area. The dining options were limited, but the rooftop patio provided stunning views. The facilities were sufficient, but there were some issues with smoking restrictions on the deck area.

The hotel offers a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms come with a usable kitchen but appear tired and have subpar bedding. The service is commendable with helpful and apologetic staff. The location is vibrant, but the surroundings may raise initial concerns. The dining options are convenient with a small kitchen but lack outdoor smoking spaces. Overall, the facilities are satisfactory but could use some updates.

Staying at the Venice Beach Suites was a delightful experience. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet, but could benefit from darker curtains in the morning. The staff was friendly, helpful, and eager to please. The hotel's location right on Muscle Beach was perfect for people-watching and close to everything. The dining options, including having a little kitchen to make your own breakfast, were convenient but lacking in some aspects.

I was a bit hesitant in staying in the area, but this hotel turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The location is right on the esplanade, close to everything, and the service was exceptional. However, the presence of homeless people outside the hotel was a downside. The dining experience offered great breakfasts, but it seemed a bit secluded during my stay.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were spacious with a lovely view of the ocean, featuring exposed red brick and modern amenities like a kitchen and a stylish bathroom. Surprisingly, it was more affordable than local hostels offering family rooms, yet it provided better amenities such as a private kitchen and en-suite bathroom with a shower and bathtub. The experience was excellent overall, with great space, a fantastic kitchen area, a super comfy bed, a brilliant shower, and cable TV.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with modern comforts while maintaining a vintage feel with exposed brick walls and vintage photos. The rooms are basically studio apartments with a tiny kitchen and bathroom. It's a historic place; if you prefer large suites and bathrooms, you might want to consider another option.

Staying at Venice Beach Suites was a delightful experience. The rooms, though small, had a charming touch with clean and comfortable amenities, offering excellent value for the prime beachfront location. The service provided by Lewis, the current owner, was incredibly accommodating and friendly. The location, right on Venice Beach, was lively but a bit tacky, perfect for beach lovers.
