Apartments in Venice

"We recently stayed at the Kinney and it was the worst stay I’ve ever had in a hotel. The quality of the room was quite bad, primarily in that ALL noise from the occupants above, the hallways, and the courtyards was heard from inside the room. The noise kept us up at night and made for a loud and irritating environment in the room during the day. To add insult to injury, there was loud music played by the Kinney in the courtyard for the majority of the day, exacerbating the noise issue in a way the hotel could absolutely control. When we arrived, we were told to text the front desk if anything about the room was not exceeding expectations. We had already texted the front desk with other hotel-related questions and received responses, but by the time we reached out to complain about the noise/music issue, nothing was done and no one responded to our complaint. There was also clear mildew in the bathroom on the grout and around bath fixtures. We also found a hair in one of the plastic “sealed” water cups. It was blond and neither of us are blond, so we were quite grossed out. We were not pleased to be charged an additional $11/night as an ordinance fee as our stay (including fees) was already paid for and the rate should have been honored, with the Kinney absorbing the cost of the new ordinance if needed. We have again reached out to the Kinney and they have said that they have documented the feedback, but offered nothing useful, so don't trust any replies they leave."

"Save your money. Place is a dump. Parking five blocks away. Noisy room you can everything that goes on outside your door. Uncomfortable bed. Malfunctioning TV. Expensive deposit Nothing good to say about our one night stay,"

"Loved the location. "

"The room was well furnished, roomy, and clean. The front desk was also very helpful. The only problem I had with the experience was that the room had bed bugs; an unfortunate and surprising circumstance considering how satisfactory the room was. "

"I had a great stay at this hostel—its location is definitely the standout feature. You’re literally steps away from the Venice Beach Skate Park, Muscle Beach, and the beach itself, which makes it perfect if you want to be right in the middle of everything. There are also plenty of nearby shops where you can grab souvenirs, snacks, or a quick bite. The Santa Monica Pier is about a 45-minute walk, and the Venice Canals are only about 10–15 minutes away, so it’s easy to explore the area on foot. We stayed in a double room with a partial ocean view. It was pretty basic, but exactly what you’d expect from a hostel. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, which is really what matters. The free breakfast was a nice bonus and a great way to start the day. We were also pleasantly surprised by how much free street parking there was within a 5–10 minute walk—definitely a plus for the area. Overall, I’d recommend this hostel if you’re looking for an affordable place to stay right in the heart of Venice Beach."

"Everything was great. Perfect location. Friendly and helpful staff. Cute room. Clean. Quiet nights. Good air conditioning. My only complaint, if I had to be picky, is the bed could be more comfortable."

"I love this hotel. Probably the only shortfall is the breakfast offered is limited but the area has a lot to offer so it’s not a big deal. Also, try to find parking besides the valet as that is very expensive. "

"Good location, beautiful view, pretty small room. Really come here for the ambiance and to be outside. "

"Room was as described. Walls need some touch up on some spots. Space was beautiful and clean. Free parking was amazing. Location spot on, with coffee, Whole Foods, and restaurants within walking distance. Very quiet at night. "
