“It's an interesting place for sure.”

Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

I just spent a long weekend at the Hotel Erwin for a family graduation event. I've been to Venice Beach before so I knew it would involve funky prior to arrival. Let's start with the good. There are not enough nice things to say about the staff - all of them. They were absolutely fantastic, from the front desk to... More

“BEST PARTY SPOT IN LA!”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

I recently held my second private event at Hotel Erwin (first a birthday party, now a corporate party). All of the staff there was absolutely incredible. They worked within (and below!) our budget and went above and beyond on making sure all guests were happy. The views are beautiful from here- great couches/heatlamps and the best place hands down to... More

“This is a motel not a hotel!”

Reviewed 6 May 2013 via mobile

We booked an "oceanfront view suite" and please be warned that our view was of a parking lot (we were told that all of the rooms with a view were taken). It's not honest to call it an "oceanfront view" if it's dark and dreary. The hotel is more along the lines of a nice hostel than a nice hotel.... More

“Looking for a great hotel very close to Venice Beach?”

Reviewed 3 May 2013

Enjoyed a nice boutique hotel with several rooms facing the Pacific plus there is a very popular roof-top bar! The staff could not have been more helpful. A small restaurant on the first floor is helpful if one needs breakfast or doesn't want to drive for dinner. The fish tacos were delicious. Be warned that as in other such hotels... More

“Even better than it looks”

Reviewed 3 May 2013 via mobile

Great first impression! Stayed here the last day it was still owned by Joie de Vivre. Valet and desk staff were very friendly and organised. Great location, not even a 5 minute walk to Venice Beach, although the boardwalk is a little intimidating (not the hotel's fault!). You feel better cruising on a bike, which you can rent right near... More

We booked this Hotel on Hotel Tonight at less than half the rate listed on hotel website! The location cannot get any better if you want to stay in Venice Beach. 1 block from boardwalk with PLENTY of people watching. Secure parking under building. Service with a genuine smile.

“Good quality but a bit overpriced”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

Good location and clean hotel. Dissapointment is that paying 300$ for a room does not include simple things like internet, bottle of water, parking and breakfast. These are relative small cost but are adding to a complete package (internet cost 10$ per 24hrs and parking 30$ a day.

This is a fine hotel with professional friendly staff, clean modern rooms and great location next to Venice Beach.
