The motel room is great if u just need a clean, quiet, safe place to stay and sleep if ur going to be out most of the day. It has a an A/C unit, small fridge, microwave, TV, and a closet hallway. It's not like a big name hotel chain, but pretty clean and I liked it for being in the Culver City area. I really appreciated the fridge and microwave bc I usually have leftovers from eating out. The bathroom was pretty spacious and I liked how the sink has a counter to put all ur toiletries (vs a standing sink w tiny space). The motel's soap is a little harsh on the skin, esp the hands, and I forgot some of my toiletries, but there is a plaza a 5 min drive away w a Target, Smart & Final, and a Ross, so I was able to buy my missing toiletries and some handsoap there. I found the queen bed pretty comfortable. It's not too soft or too stiff to me at least. The surrounding neighborhood is fairly quiet in the evening, but the morning has some noise from ppl honking at each other on Venice Blvd in the morning. Oh, and the if no one is at the counter, the bell is on the bottom right of the window to call someone. It's a bit hard to notice.

Small and cozy room, perfect for pairs of travelers or couples. The room was nicely kept overall, though the bathroom had slight discoloration and peeling paint. Keep in mind that the check-in time is 3 pm, although if you ask the staff, you might be able to check in a little earlier (Thank you for the generosity!). Highly recommended for the price!

It was great. Overall great stay. I recommend a more softer bed, and I highly recommend a no honking sign on the premise as the cars could park right outside of your room and it’s very disturbing when they honk.

I greatly appreciated the exceptional service provided by **Bahia Principe Esmeralda**. The entire staff was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, making me feel genuinely welcome and valued throughout my stay.

My room was cleaned thoroughly every day and was always comfortable and well-maintained. The food was excellent, offering a wide variety of delicious and healthy options. The swimming pools were clean, well cared for, and pleasantly warm. I also enjoyed the many activities and entertainment programs, which were well organized and suitable for guests of all ages.

I highly recommend Bahia Principe Esmeralda, especially for families with children. It is a wonderful resort that provides outstanding service, excellent facilities, and an enjoyable vacation experience. I look forward to returning in the future.

The room is big enough , clean , bed is comfortable . Parking is easy , close. However , the air vent cover in bathroom is very old , bent , very rusty and has a spiderweb. Vanity sink drains slowly. It takes a long time , close to 4 minutes, for the shower water to get warm enough to get under. I feel guilty wasting water especially in CA .

Cute little motel. Booked a bedroom with 1 bed and the room size was spacious. Property and room were cleaned. Was very quiet and not once did we hear an ambulance and we were close to the hospital. Parking was a breeze. Property is kind of in a circle. 1 exit 1 entrance into property. Staff was friendly. AC worked amazing. Shower had hot and cold water however you had to leave the hot water running for about 5 mins before it started getting warm. Presume if water was decent. Bed was a little hard but for the price it was worth it. Will stay again if I go back to LA. Felt safe might plan a family trip here next time.

Area is good, close to the tourist spots like Venice Beach, Santa Monica pier, rodeo drive, Hollywood etc. Nice room, comfortable bed. Easy and free parking was a plus. I did however find a decent amount of small cockroaches in the bathroom. I would kill them and they would keep appearing. Housekeeping was done daily so I imagine that keeps them at bay but was not ideal having to deal them

Clean, very spacious for the price, hard wood floor (which I prefer over carpets when staying at hotels/motels), everything I wanted, plus the parking space is right in front of your door, what more could I ask for?. And the check in and check out were friendly and fast.

The room was very basic but clean and adequate. The bathroom was newer-looking and spacious. I wanted to hang my clothes but there were no hangers. The HVAC worked fine and the front and bathroom windows actually opened. I walked a lot in the vicinity. It's not the best area for that but I felt safe. A couple of fast food options are a 15 minute walk away and the Kaiser Hospital right next door has a cafeteria.
