We stayed at suite 5 which has a view of the beach. It is a dog friendly place and that’s a plus! Another bonus is that the restaurant is only downstairs- with a patio for the dog. The place is interesting and part of a historic landmark. The employees were very friendly and the food was great. Anthony, the owner was very nice and easy to communicate with. He responded right away via text messaging to an issue with Chromecast (for us to be able to use the TV). FYI, The room is on the second floor facing the highway, so one can still hear the cars passingby but for us, it wasn’t bothersome. We were able to sleep soundly— that includes Buddy. The place has what a traveler needs. It isn’t a hotel but this is what we needed. It’s like a home and a very relaxing home for us. The location is so close to the Sta. Monica pier and about 30 mins to Hollywood blvd. It was also about half an hour away to Studio city. There were other restaurants within walking distance and the convenience store was just next door. It is a safe area as we walk Buddy at night. What was the best part of our stay was the morning walks to the beach and the awesome “new year’s eve fireworks” that can be seen from the window. It’s like getting a front seat to an awesome movie without having to worry about the crowd. Surely, it would be nice to spend the end of the year again at Suite #5 of Patrick’s Road House.
