Vacations Close To Venice Beach Boardwalk

It is a really lovely property, in a historic building, with very kind staff, a wine hour, fresh breakfast and cookies. It's less than a 5 minute walk to the beach shops too.

We live nearby, but decided to stay here while attending a nearby wedding. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a spacious lobby, plenty of seating, a lovely bar, and welcoming atmosphere. The live jazz music added a wonderful touch to the ambiance. Our room was clean and spacious, and we were pleasantly surprised by the large shared balcony. Unfortunately, there was no outdoor seating to relax and enjoy the view or listen to the live band playing below. A few chairs would have made the balcony more inviting. We booked a Jr. suite, while the bathroom was generously sized, the lighting was extremely dim, particularly around the vanity. The sconces provided barely enough lighting to apply makeup or get ready. Although the shower light was bright, it was too far away to illuminate the rest of the space. The walls seemed thin, and we could clearly hear children running down the hallway and guests talking late into the night. The bed was reasonably comfortable, but the sheets were worn and felt scratchy. New sheet and higher thread count would have made for a more comfortable night's sleep. Breakfast service had only one server attending to all the tables. Additional staffing during busy breakfast hours would've been helpful. Overall, the hotel has a lot going for it, especially its beautiful common areas, spacious rooms, and inviting atmosphere. With a few improvements it'll be a great place to stay.
