The room was tidy, clean, modern, spacious, and well lit. The location was great: a thirty second walk to the beach with a number of attractions also within walking distance. Contrary to what some people told me and some of the reviews on here, most of Venice Beach is actually quite clean and safe, maybe more so near the South end, which is where this is located. As some other reviews have stated, it can get a bit noisy at night, but not excessively so.
