    There's a night club right next door which is very loud and woke us up at 0:30 am. They stop at 1:30 am but if you're around on a Friday or Saturday, be prepared--or join the folks on their party

    Superbly located right in front of the beach, with great views from the balcony of our room, and/or from their rooftop ("High"). Their staff went above and beyond, Miguel, who checked us in made sure we have the best possible experience during our stay.

    It sounds silly to even complain about, but there is only one elevator, and it is a relatively large hotel, so often times we had to wait or walk up to the sixth floor, where our room was.

    This was our first time staying at this hotel, and we loved it. It’s a very modern hotel and exceptionally clean. The staff is just as wonderful. The hotel is located steps away from Venice Beach. We did choose the added on breakfast which had limited options, but we’re all delicious and freshly made.

    The extra charge for hotel amenities was a surprise and felt like a money grab considering the high cost of the rooms. The bikes were in poor condition and can be fixed up with a little basic maintenance (e.g the handlebars were loose on several). It’s a shame there was no pool or hot tub at this beachside hotel! The carpet in the room felt grimy and could use a deep clean. There were no hotel slippers either :(

    Fantastic location on Venice Beach, close to everything, which made it easy to come and go throughout the day. Good breakfast options with lots of variety. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Large rooms with trendy decor, comfortable beds. Access to useful amenities such as bikes, beach towels, etc.

    We have two small children (4 and 7) and we’re missing a pool. The location can be great right on Venice beach/ muscle beach, but not very suitable for young children. Not a lot of child friendly restaurants nearby although Great White across the hotel worked well for our family. The hotel has a great rooftop bar but after 8pm it’s not allowed for below audience 21 as they serve alcohol. So in summary great hotel for couple / friends getaway but would not recommend this hotel for families with younger children. Nearby Santa Monica is a more child friendlier option!

    Great hotel for couples and friends. Great breakfast, friendly staff, nice room: comfortable beds and shower.

    It was an expensive hotel (just like any other near that area.)

    The biggest plus Hotel Erwin had was the service and attention we recieved by Khody at the front desk. Not only did he go out of his way to help us with any request we had, he did it with a voice so smooth it could make a wolverine purr. The rest was as advertized, good hotel with a great view and great location.

    Fun location right in the heart of Venice Beach. However, be prepared for noise in and outside the hotel given its proximity to a lot of street action and parties. Staff was very nice.

    carpet in bedroom was really basic and cheap. The breakfast was simple - same thing every day (scrambled eggs, toast, fried potatoes, pancakes etc) fine for a quick fuel up. Drinks at the bar seemed very weak

    Close to the beach. Cute restaurants around. Great White across the road has fantastic Australian style coffee and breakfast. Rooms were large and clean. front desk staff were good. Security guard was around in the lobby. area is eclectic but still felt safe. You can walk to venice canals & Abbott Kinney

    Very nice spacious clean but be careful with ‘beachfront’ rooms

    We stayed in expensive beacfront suit, because we wanted to enjoy the ocean view. Well, the beachfront suit looks at a parking lot and the ugly, dirty backyards of the beach front line shops. Strange people doing strange thing in parking lot. Really disappointing to see this instead of the ocean. Especially from 1st floor! (Which is for some reason numbered as 3xx) And there are no shades or black-out curtains on the window only ses-through sheer curtain! So after dark for sure everyone can see in your room and the lamp post in the parking lot is reflecting straight to your bed. (Maybe in higher floor it is better, and partial side views to the oceans have actually a nicer view) Breakfrast is nice but the place is super tiny so hard to find a table to sit.

    Spacious, very comfortable well equiped, nice, clean rooms; super helpfull staff, special thanks to Alejandra at the reception!). Bed is large, pillows are great. Beach towels provided

    -Everyday was the same for the breakfast menu. You could at least change the hot selections. -Valet is expensive but it is more or less the same at every hotel in LA (everywhere is around 55 USD)

    -Perfect location if you wanna experience the beachfront -Rooms were spacious and clean -The cleaning ladies were so kind and caring -The hotel provides free beach items (ball, umbrella, towels, etc.) and BIKES!!!

    Bedroom too small for two people - not enough space for a bedside table or reading light on both sides and barely enough room to get in and out of bed. I’ve stayed here alone several times and it’s been fine but really not for sharing. Room smelt quite damp and musty.

    Great location; laid-back atmosphere; living room in suite was generous (but see comment about the bedroom; free breakfast (though very basic). Very helpful staff.
