Drakes Bay

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.

Fabulous…not cheap but worth every penny

The staff is friendly enough. The room was strange and could be cleaner. The shower door goes both ways which is unsafe- should open outward only. The sink counter is made of some material that leaves it looking ever dirty. The bathroom has a barn door that leaves zero privacy for someone on the toilet. The gap is an inch on either side. Yikes! The closet where there’s a door to ?? has a light that comes on at night while passing by. Creepy. There is what seems an all night party on the block so lots of music for hours (not bad but something to consider if you have children or are sound sensitive). It’s a vibrant space but not everyone wants that. There are two amenity fees which I didn’t understand but seem to have been credited and returned… eventually. That totaled $240. for a prepaid room. It’s not a hold, it’s a charge. The (king) bed is comfortable and perfect, as is the room temperature and made for an exceptionally restful night, even with the continuous party outside. Note: we were there on a Friday night only so maybe the sound is not the norm. I don’t recommend this property.
