Excellent Hotel and Exceptional Location!

Highly recommend this excellent hotel in a prime beach front location! The hotel is just one short block off Venice beach boardwalk and with good weather it has an really cool rooftop bar/lounge. The location is also very convenient to LAX, just 10 minutes on surface streets on a Saturday morning and a short drive north to the Santa Monica and Malibu communities. It is right in the middle of a real SoCal beach community, so you do have some limited dining options and night life action, with the exception of the rooftop lounge that is! It is clearly the best place to stay in the area and a good value for the price. Try to get a room up high and on the north side for a beautiful view of the beach and sunset this time of year! Just Go!!!

Great spot, friendly staff

Loved the HUGE suit and the location right on Venice Beach - ask for a room on the side (or ocean front, of course), the few street side rooms can get noisy. Sign up for the JDV club to get treats when you check in!

Venice rocks and so does this hotel

Venice rocks. If you are visiting, get an ocean view room at the Erwin! it’s a great view and when you’re sick of being ON the boardwalk, you can simply be on your balcony watching it. It’s a blast and the perfect home for an old hippie! I stayed there before when it was the Pacific Marina. The remodel is simple, in Scandinavian style (not my fav) but everything seems to be clean and in good working shape. Free wifi doesn’t hurt. Hash downstairs was a bit slow on breakfast and High upstairs, well, it’s high, OK?!? Great pick for Venice. And if you must eat lunch or dinner in Venice, visit Danny’s Deli, our fav. And don’t forget the fresh fruit guy on the boardwalk (OK, he has donuts too but ignore them, you’re on a beach!) Walk straight to boardwalk from hotel, turn left and head down about a block...fruit is on the left side corner! When on your balcony, look to the right, you’ll see Danny’s! Have fun in Venice hippies!

A glorious beach and a HUGE slice of life, all in the same place.
