I booked this hotel at the last minute, not sure what to expect. The check in was easy, the room was quiet and clean, and the breakfast the next morning was amazing. Ask for the everything breakfast burrito. It's the best thing you'll ever have. Ani was very helpful at checkout, and she helped clear some additional charges that were... More

I organized a group meeting over several days last month with many different moving parts. Luckily, the staff at the hotel bent over backwards to ensure that every request our group had was met immediately. We had several room booking changes, right up until the day we arrived, and each change was made and taken in stride with no additional... More

Born & raised in LA, came home to visit for 6n/7d vaca. I know the area and was not needing to splurge. I looked long and hard before deciding on the Erwin. Online photos make it look high quality and worth the price. The staff was wonderful, but, the facelift given to this hotel was not worth the $200+/night. Some... More

We stayed at the Hotel Erwin at Christmas in 2011. The hotel itself is great--the rooms are funky, yet comfortable, and the hotel has a great location less than a block from the beach. The rooftop bar is a fun place to watch the sunset from (but get there early or make a reservation, as it fills up quickly). But... More

I have used Hotel Erwin's HIGH rooftop lounge twice for work events and a couple times for personal events and it is always a flawless experience with great service. They really work with you to make sure you have the setup you need, the menu you want and servers/bartenders dedicated to your party. Not only is the view beautiful, but... More

Stayed at the Erwin over Christmas 2012 recommended by our agent. After a long flight from London, all we wanted was dinner and a comfy bed. First impressions weren't good. The hotel matches its Venice location by being a little "edgy" (manga style murals not our thing). Unfortunately, we were given a very poor room on the third floor (small,... More
