Please book your reservation for rooftop dining in advance. The restaurant and bar book quickly since it is a local favorite. Our bathroom sink began to fill with water from the adjacent room and required maintenance. Staff did their best to accommodate us while maintenance resolved the issue. Staff spoke of comps due to the maintenance however I never saw it. Overall the stay was nice and staff was friendly. The rooms are clean and the breakfast was pricey but delicious. The hotel is located right behind the Venice skate park and muscle beach. Night life is lively and just around the corner from the hotel lobby.

The property isn't bad but I had a few complications and I'm not sure if the hold up on resolving them is expedias fault or the managements. I ve been trying to get a partial refund due to an issue with booking where I basically paid double. Expedia says they won't answer they say Expedia never contacted them etc. so until that is resolved the rating will be low. If they ever answer I'll raise the review. Either way, not being able to talk to them directly is making me not want to use Expedia ever again.

Great location and the rooftop bar is great. Rooms are fine sized, not huge not small - fine for what we needed. I'd say the biggest negative was just the quality of the service - check in staff weren't very helpful, almost like we were imposing on them to stay there and check in. Service on the rooftop was equally poor - felt like they had never worked in hospitality before - again, we had to actually work to order food, get service. It feels like the location let's them really drop the ball on quality. I'd stay somewhere else and maybe book for a reservation at the roof top, but I wouldn't stay again

Staff was friendly from the security to front desk. Room did not have a microwave but they provided one when asked. Breakfast is muffin,yogurt and fruit but they offer a menu if you want to pay for any other breakfast items.
They offer several beach items to borrow which came in handy. We used the beach chairs and towel.
If you get a view in the ally, it’s terrible and often woke up to people banging on trash. This is not the hotels fault. The area is a very short walk to beach but is kind of dirty and in some places uncomfortable with kids. We didn’t walk much after dark and everything was fine during the day. Overall, we would book this hotel again:)

To note: something different is they put a 150.00 security deposit hold for each night you book so for us, it was a 600.00 deposit. Never had that and didn’t effects us but it might for some people.

Location, location! It’s in the center of it all if you want a lot of action. Otherwise it is very loud all night from neighboring bars and the area around it is filthy, although the hotel is nice. We arrived around noon, they said our room was ready but it would be $89 to check in early. That really put us off, I’ve never heard that before, it’s not very good service.
The rooftop bar is amazing and the morning breakfast was nice.
The bed was comfy, but omg, the decor is stunningly ugly in the rooms. I’m sure they were going for young and hip, but it comes off tacky with no cohesion. The rooms need a makeover STAT!

Good points:
- Close to the beach with playground for kids
- some free things like bikes
- I am not sure if I remember correctly the name, I believe he's name is Mario, but he is the only great guy with great customer service and he is in charge of Valet parking service, but helping with everything else, giving a great advices and mega friendly.
- we had a room with the balcony and sea view and it is beautiful
- amazing roof top

Bad points:
it considered to be 4 star hotel, but:
- We were constantly waiting for front desk service to get service. Most of the times, he wasn't there, but if he was, he is kinda don't care, chill as south pole. In general looks understaffed
- when we got into room, sofa bed was like someone was searching something there, so all the parts were messed up, not in the place. We called the guy who was checking how clean the rooms and he fixed that, checked everything with his UV light, it was clean, but still not nice experience and not up to 4 stars hotel
- feel outdated, a lot of visible touch ups in the hallway
- almost no good places to eat around, mostly junk food.

The size of the room was really big, with a fantastic layout. The cleaning service was fantastic- we stayed for a week, and the room always looked clean and tidy upon our return from outtings. Because there was never parking available nearby, we had to would’ve gotten five stars, but was missing two key items - a microwave, and extra blanket. I am sure I could’ve asked for another blanket, so the real downfall was lacking a microwave .

Oh my Goodness. We loved this hotel. It was retro remodeled. It was located in the perfect spot on Venice beach.

The view from our top floor room was beautiful. We also visited the rooftop restaurant for lunch one day. We ran to the rooftop to see the sunset over the ocean one evening. The Erwin is the tallest hotel with the best sunset view on Venice Beach.

The hotel offered bikes for use, tennis rackets, volleyballs, conhole, sunscreen, coolers, paddle tennis equipment and toys at no charge. We took the bikes for a ride to Santa Monica (my favorite place on earth). We rode round trip a little over 3- miles. The biking path and walking path are wonderful. The riding path is well-kept, safe and wide.

The hotel is adorable. Our room was exactly how we imagined it. The free breakfast was beyound how we imagined it would be. The offerings were healthy, fresh made, and served with hospitality. We loved breakfast. Usually free breakfast means, danishes, friut and cheap coffee. No, we were offered premium coffee, delicious eggs, sausage, fresh-squeezed orange and grapefruit juice, freshly-made waffles, and fruit. This was a pleasant surprise. We normally go out for breakfast or pay for breakfast at the hotels we stay at. This free breakfast was hearty. The staff that served us was wonderfully friendly.

The concierge was helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. He is the man in the know. He was so pleasant to speak with every morning and afternoon upon our return.

If you’re only looking for location, then it’s a 5/5. It’s in the heart of Venice Beach and 1 minute to the water. Outside of that, the actual hotel is pretty terrible. We paid for the Epic View. Definitely not epic. The photo of the room when booking indicated it’s ocean facing. Maybe 5% of our view was the ocean. The shower didn’t drain. We showered in a 1” puddle every morning. The towels had stains. We killed a spider. Paint is chipped on the wall. If you’re on the top floor, you can’t be a light sleeper. The restaurant upstairs kept me up all night. We did get one complementary bottle of water to share between the two of us that we could refill from the hallway.

The staff is friendly enough.

The room was strange and could be cleaner. The shower door goes both ways which is unsafe- should open outward only. The sink counter is made of some material that leaves it looking ever dirty. The bathroom has a barn door that leaves zero privacy for someone on the toilet. The gap is an inch on either side. Yikes! The closet where there’s a door to ?? has a light that comes on at night while passing by. Creepy. There is what seems an all night party on the block so lots of music for hours (not bad but something to consider if you have children or are sound sensitive). It’s a vibrant space but not everyone wants that.
There are two amenity fees which I didn’t understand but seem to have been credited and returned… eventually. That totaled $240. for a prepaid room. It’s not a hold, it’s a charge.
The (king) bed is comfortable and perfect, as is the room temperature and made for an exceptionally restful night, even with the continuous party outside. Note: we were there on a Friday night only so maybe the sound is not the norm.
I don’t recommend this property.

The only note, I traveled w a friend of mine and the sink area is in the room with no door. Then the door to the toilet/shower doesn’t close well—there’s open space around the door which is awkward. You can hear everything from the bathroom so I kept my playlist on loud.
