Venice Suites

Very cozy and in a great spot convenient to everything on the boardwalk. The rooftop deck is a great place to chill at the end of the day. We will definitely be returning for a little getaway.

Great place to stay on venice. We stayed with 2 kids (13&15). Spacious room and friendly, helpfull staff.

Great place for a great price. Venice in general is a one of a kind place. The room was very clean, had a homely loft/​studio feel. They even provided a nice beach towel. Slight down side they do not do daily cleanings which I thought was weird but it’s California so I’m guessing they are trying to safe water lol

The good: location, clean rooms, and rooftop deck
The bad: beds are soooo uncomfortable and the first floor is so loud that I could not get even a wink of sleep. Upstairs guests on wooden floors sound like a herd of elephants along with parking lot 2 inches from window — headlights and drunk people yelling all night.
The ugly: management did not care at all when I told them I couldn’t sleep there and asked for a refund. They said no refunds and no apologies or concern, they said they have tempurpedic new beds (they do not, we looked at mattress) and that they’ve never heard this before so it must just be us (contrary to their responses to other similar reviews!!!) they obviously know and don’t care.
We had to move to another hotel while still paying for one that was so loud we couldn’t sleep for days and my whole body hurts from the crap mattresses.

I loved being here – my nice little suite (real apartment), having the beach right there, the sunset, the beach walkway (like a boardwalk) was fun. Restaurants, cafes, street musicians – super crowded on the weekend but not during the week. My place was in the back and not at all noisy. Only caveat is that there’s no one here after 5:00, so if there’s a problem you have to phone someone in another place. One other thing – I didn’t use the elevator because there was a sign saying,” follow the instructions carefully so you don’t get locked in the elevator.” !
I’m planning to come back on my next trip.

This place is not your typical hotel. It felt like I was renting a studio. Which was totally awesome. The location is prime Venice Beach! You are right in the middle of the ocean!!! The rooftop was AWESOME! I plan to return to this spot as I plan to come back to SoCal more frequently!

Cute, clean an really well placed, this hotel is not for light sleepers. You hear everything and I mean everything happening above and to your sides! No sound batt in the walls what so ever. If you don’t care people stumping around above you at 3 am, this is the place for you.

I’m not often able to save up enough to splurge on a getaway, so when it started raining hard after I had already booked, I decided to make the best of it. I booked thru getaroom, and called to confirm the reservation. The getaroom rep said he had spoken to Venice Suites and everything was prepared for my stay — he even confirmed that he had resolved a name discrepancy and the hotel would take care of it for me. When I arrived to the hotel, there was a sign on the door that the office was closed, and to check my email for my self check in code. Unfortunately I had no email. So my friend and I are standing in the rain, and at this point Venice Suites hasn’t really done anything wrong, so I’m wet and unhappy but I definitely wasn’t blaming them. I call the number on the notice and get this dude who says he can’t find my name (the name mix up wasn’t corrected as I was told). Ok, I give him the other name and he says there is no code for me so he’ll drive down and check me in — tells me 10 – 15 minutes. 25 minutes later, we’re wet and need to pee, and the guy hasn’t showed. I call the number again, and he’s like «Oh yeah I talked to you 10 minutes ago» I was like «yeah, 25 minutes ago» at this point he says he can’t hear me until I drop the 25 minutes talk and then he can suddenly hear me again. Miraculously, my key was at the front door all along! I asked him about my car as there are no signs where I parked, and he just said everything is in the room and he can’t help me. I asked if I could speak to someone about the check in process and he said «I can’t do anything for you, talk to check out tomorrow». The room is very nice, but I’m pretty dissatisfied with the service so far. I will talk to checkout tomorrow and update my review.
Edit: The gracious staff made this right for me in the morning. I am now satisfied and updated my rating to reflect that. :)

Decent place to stay! The rooms were very clean, spacious and organized. We stayed in their queen suite (hardwood floors, small kitchen), for two nights /​three days. Management was very kind, excellent location right on the beach and neighbors weren’t too loud. The only downsides to staying there were the weird stuffy smells when you first walk in and the off-​site parking. BUY PARKING IN ADVANCE! The garage is a short walk away. $ 10 parking free per night is worth it! We made the mistake of not buying in advance.

Prompt, friendly and accommodating service from Brian. Reached out to me as a customer after the sale as well. Location could not be better or more beautiful. So much to see, do and eat in the immediate vicinity. Loved the handy kitchenette in my room. I have already returned and plan to again. Thanks Venice Suites!

We stayed here for an extended weekend in September. The location is literally on the beach. When we arrived, we temporarily parked in the small parking lot next to the hotel to unload our luggage and since we were early the staff was nice enough to store our luggage. The parking lot is very tight, and is next to a one way street, which makes it difficult to back out your temporary spot, so it was helpful to have my husband stand in the street to stop cars from coming and wave me out when I was backing up.
When we were walking along the boardwalk, we passed by a few other hotels with the same logo/​pop up tent sign in front, so I believe there a few different locations to choose from when staying in the area. This location has a beautiful mural facing the small parking lot.
If you choose to get parking with the hotel, the garage is located a few blocks near CVS, which I loved being that close to CVS for quick things like drinks/​snacks.
One complaint, the rooms don’t have air conditioning. So although the doors to the outside were left open during the day so there was a nice breeze in the hallway, the rooms get stuffy. In addition, our windows were just a few feet from another building, so we didn’t feel comfortable leaving the shades open, because you could stare directly into our room. Lastly, the two night minimum is a little annoying.

Five star experience! The only catch is the of site parking, but other than that it was a wonderful experience and great place to stay for Labor Day weekend. Glad our friends found this place for our reservations.

Fun times here. Great area to be in and within walking distance to everything.

This establishment is definitely a good choice when visiting the Venice Beach area. It’s not fancy but it’s very clean and the rooms come equipped with everything needed to eat in if that’s what you’d like to do. The location is outstanding and the staff are friendly and helpful. As others have mentioned, the rooftop area provides an excellent view and is a great place to BBQ or just plain relax. Venice Suites is definitely a place I would visit again and I recommend it to anyone visiting this area.

Solid choice on the boardwalk. Having said that, the area can be a bit congested and noisy at times, particularly on summer weekends. Management was attentive and helpful, Ethan and Randy in particular went out of their way to help me out with some minor room issues.
The rooms are basic but clean with a nice feel and amenities, beds were comfortable and clean, and the rooftop patio is a great place to unwind and soak it all in.
Parking is offsite but secure and only a few blocks away, close to Chaya, The Anchor, Sauce, and a bunch of other great spots. All in all a good place to stay.

This place is great! It’s not your typical hotel, there’s no room service or breakfast, but none of that seemed to matter. We had a room on the fourth floor; a queen studio with a partial ocean view. The room was super cute, clean and comfortable. The ocean, the vendors, and everything you go to Venice for is literally right outside of the front door. The garage provided (for a small fee) for parking is about a five minute walk from the building. There is also a rooftop that is all set up with seating areas and a grill with an awesome view. I would recommend, however, packing lightly. We came here from spending a week somewhere else and didn’t want to leave all of our belongings in the car. They have an elevator but with a weight limit so we had to make a few trips. Parking around the building is also limited. Otherwise this place is totally worth it.

Rooms: The building is obviously an old urban apartment complex but with a modern Californian make over. I love the old school elevator. The rooms were very clean, modern and comfortable. I appreciated the full kitchen. The roof deck was great for eating breakfast outside and watching the sunset. There are beach and city views.
Location: excellent location, right on the boardwalk and close enough to all the action but far enough away from the rougher and louder parts of the boardwalk.
Noise: The Venice boardwalk is by definition a loud, obnoxious and very quirky place, so if street noise bothers you, you should probably not be staying on the boardwalk.
Service: There is someone at the desk during business hours 8−5ish, but that’s about it.
Parking: Free parking is off site. Only a 7 minute walk.

Worth it for the location.
As many others have said, there’s nothing really luxury about this hotel, but everything is nice. The rooms are nice, the one I’m in has a queen bed in a separate bedroom, sofa bed, and kitchenette. There is no AC, but the combination of windows and fans seem to be working just fine. I would take the lack of AC into consideration before staying here in the summer, but for March it’s just fine.
The location is the biggest pro and the biggest con. You’re literally right on the boardwalk, which means you’re close to everything happening and the beach is mere steps away. The downside is that it’s quite loud, and without the AC you might want to sleep with the windows open, but that can be difficult when it’s loud.
Some other nice things about this hotel:
–Free parking. It’s not right next to the hotel, and it’s kinda complicated to get into, but it’s FREE
–Free WiFi. Seems fast too. I’m streaming a hockey game as I write this review.

Worst place to stay ever! I don’t know where these other reviewers have stayed in the past but they clearly have no idea what a nice place this place is a dump I’ve seen motel 6s that are nicer than this place!

Venice Suites doesn’t offer much in the way of luxury, but they’ve got everything I need:
Surprisingly spacious rooms at a very decent price.
A door that opens right up onto Venice Beach.
A parking spot a few blocks away.
A suite stocked with soft towels and a decent shower.
A beautiful, breezy roofdeck for lounging around (and grilling if you’re ambitious).
A comfortable bed.
Although, the bed may be perfectly comfortable to sleep on, but why is it a thing in this city to place mattresses on a wider wooden platform? Am I the only one leaving LA with significant bruises all over my shins?
Anyway, I’m all about apartment hotels (especially for extended stays in a new city), and Venice Suites is a good one.
