Location is superb for all Venice Beach/Santa Monica trips. Overall I would say the place is dated and could do with some modernising. I’ve eaten pancakes thicker than the pillows provided, that’s probably the worst of it. We did have an issue with drainage which was sorted the same day, but it wasn’t communicated that it was complete until I chased it up hours later. Uber is generally pretty cheap in the area (October 22’) as Santa Monica Pier is over 1 hour walk. Also bike rental with Metro is very good value.
