We chose this hotel for it's proximity to LAX, but the location is lovely as well. The views of the beach and harbor from your room/ terrace are just lovely. The surrounding area is very nice and the beach is only a 10 minute walk away. There is a Cheesecake Factory next door, which is a great place for dinner... More

This is basic accommodation but made special by the warmth and professionalism of the two gentlemen at the reception desk who couldn't have been more helpful - plus the stunning view across the beach to the Marina - a room with a water view is a must. The Inn is next door to the Cheesecake Factory Restaurant which has an... More

We choose the hotel for the complimentary shuttle they offer from LAX. However the shuttle company was not very helpful (did not answer e-mails and the call we should have made after landing was not possible and when we finally got out and got a signal, the phone was answered by a Spanish speaking lady only - so we took...

Stayed here 2 nights as a base to Universal Studios and Venice Beach. Room was a good size and clean although the walls were very thin and the man next door snored very loudly the whole ight and might as well have been in my room!. Not keen on the decor of the hotel but thats just superficial. Breakfast OK... More

We chose Marina del Rey as a kickback break after a frantic 6 week tour of Asia, Aus and New Zealand. Our flight from Sydney arrived early in the morning (7 am) and whilst our room was not available when we arrived Graham Spencer, GM, did his best to accommodate our state of mind and exhaustion and had the room...

The lady at the check-in would refuse to transfer a simple call to the room stating she was busy and to call back later... Nave had this happen in my life. She stated that she was busy and didn't want to transfer me.

I really don't understand the rave reviews for this hotel. The best aspect was definitely the location. I was 5 minutes from my conference, which was very convenient. The view of the harbor & beach was lovely. The staff was very personable & I enjoyed my interactions with them. Truthfully, they seem to be attempting something of a "boutique" hotel... More

This hotel overlooks the vast marina at Del Ray. Spring for the harborside view. Close to LAX, but within walking distance of Venice Beach. Although it is probably a fifties hotel, they have made the effort to be an affordable stay and have kept it clean and comfortable.
