"We loved the location of this hotel, right on Venice Beach! When you walk out the front door, you are on the walking path running up and down the beach. The hotel has a courtyard with an outdoor fireplace, and is located close to a great many restaurants and shops. The vlaue was also excellent! The only issue was parking, as we had to pay extra to reserve one of a few spaces in the alley, and the spaces were small and cramped. (They are suited for regular or compact cars, but several guests had large trucks and vans, parking at an angle and interfering with everyone else.)"
