I paid $200 for 1 night. Limited parking spaces. Terrible condition outside. Homeless sitting outside of office door. Broken windows, dirty hallways. The room is not better. Cigarettes burn blankets, bleach spot blankets. Very run down room. Shower curtains had stain. Towels had stain. The office person who checked me in was rude and acted weird looking inside my car over my shoulder and then had nerve to ask oh is that your car or did you Uber here. Not professional at all! This is such a gross place and very disappointed paying over $200 I wish I could of cancel and went somewhere else but I already paid and was given keys and left back to the beach . I didn’t return until pass 12am and I just dealt with everything went to sleep . I was nervous even sleeping in the bed because of the conditions of everything about this place

I booked this room for my kids and I on a 1 night stay, the room was outdated (don't let the pictures fool you) restroom door was broken so they moved us rooms and so once settling in the new room we found out that it was broken as well, shower curtain was dirty looked like mold and something else all over it. Shower head was Discussing and old, all the security locks on the doors were broken as if someone forced there selves in. I called expidia to ask for a refund and they were trying to contact the hotel to get the refund approved but they weren't answering although I could see them with phone in hand.

Needs a lot of TLC

The people at the hotel are very friendly and helpful but the appearance, maintenance and age of the place shows thru, carpets are very old, staircase railings are in need of some sanding and painting, the transom into my room had the floor piece half in and out, just 5 minutes and a phillips screwdriver could fix that, my TV remote didn't work half the time, the older gentlemen told me about it but no ambition to make it right. The parking is the worse for any pick up, they have four spaces up front that would work for overnight but they keep two blocked off for themselves, not for the guys who pay to stay

After checking in we saw our room and immediately returned to cancel our reservation; the attendant could not refund our payment, and we were forced to stay in a second room which was nominally less dirty then the first. The rooms had broken window screens, mosquitos, grafiti on the bathroom windows, dirty showers (we didn’t use these), musty smells, chipped/ stained furniture/carpets, and neighbors who fought and received paramedic attention until 2am. The worst part is the whopping price of $128 for that terrible night because I was fooled by the expedia rating and photos. Terrible.

My room was a very noisy room, me and my husband couldn't sleep it all. The people who were staying in the room up from ours were walking and talking all night and we couldn’t sleep because you can hear every little sound, the floor were grinding every step. Also, there was a door that lead you to the parking that everyone including the staffs were slapping it all the time, every time they went in or out, so was impossible to get rest! I’m very disappointed.

Paid extra night and they said I could stay in the same room so we put all our things inside. Next morning they tell us we have to move because they forgot they are fixing the tile. The room they gave us had no iron or ironing board (and yes it is in the description details and yes it is a must for me), the room smelled of urine and the cable was not working. Found two spiders and the shower curtain was disgusting.

Exploring the West Side

Our check in was pleasant and easy. We had a very clean and comfortable updated room. I didn't see any evidence of cigarette burns or butts anywhere. We had pleasant interactions with the front desk staff when we extended our stay. There is a restaurant down the street about a block with a great steak dinner and bloody Mary's. The patio was packed so we ate inside in great comfort with a nice waitress and staff. We took Uber to Venice beach and really enjoyed the area. We took a short walk to a Von's grocery. It was a nice hotel, a nice stay and we enjoyed the area and the people.

Run down motel, what a heartbreak!

Had to change rooms four times. Twice because of roaches, once because of safety concerns and the last time because of noise. I kept complaining about another guests noise and behavior and they would only call and advise to cut noise level down. After three days of this, management should of evicted noisy guest.

For the 150 dollars a night, it’s a complete rip off. It’s obvious that the owners don’t care about putting the money back into the hotel. They just want to get bought out by a land developer. The rooms are dirty. The bathrooms are dirty with rust in the shower heads and dirt in the toilet base. The shower head leaks water from the connection to the wall. Windows are held together by tape. Overall horrible hotel.

I was so scared here

The woman at check in was extremely nice, but everything else was terrible. The hotel definitely looked nothing like the pictures. There was trash on the grounds and the parking lot had no entrance directly to the lot, instead you had to walk around the building to get to the room. The shower ran warm and the heater was nowhere close to hot so I was freezing the whole time. The pillows were so thin that I asked for more and the pillow cases were stained AND dirty. I had to call the front desk several times about the noise from the room above me, another man screaming for help, and a couple arguing and literally slamming into my door at 4am! I had no sleep the whole night! I called the front desk all through the night and finally the lady at the front desk got an attitude with me and hung up and wouldn’t answer any further calls. I didn’t want to leave the room because I was terrified. Finally I made it to morning and the contenintal breakfast was toast, coffee, and some really disgusting juice. I was soooo disappointed with this hotel and definitely expected more. I wish I would’ve read the other nasty reviews before going here. A lesson well learned!

Pulling the sheets off the mattress was dirty to.”” We didn’t stay there!”” Not worth o penny. To top it off they didn’t reimburse me after showing they the dirty sheets and mattress!!

Poor motel

Black Mold in bathroom , around toilet, tub and floor. The rest of the room was ok but had a little smell of mildue. The person who signed me in was very short on giving information and said he would only give instructions once and would not be available again. There was not a bathroom to use in the small lobby you had to check in to use your room bathroom. You could not pay me to stay there . The parking was terrible. There were 2 parking stalls blocked off so you could not use them in front of the motel. This motel should not be recommended to any one but the homeless.......Steve G.

Quick Getaway

Stayed here for only one night with my family which included two kids. The hotel is a little older and parking is hard to get if you plan on getting to your room at later hour. I had to park in parking lot or left side of a side street and then got up early to move it to an open parking space that next morning. The parking area is a very tight squeeze and if you have a larger vehicle then your better off staying in the parking lot. The room was not the greatest but not the worst. The shower worked fine. The room I had was a little tight cause one of the beds was close to bathroom door. Some of the lighting fixtures were not working. The AC & TV worked fine. The rooms was just basic and a place to lay your head to sleep. I did have a issue where one of the pillow cases had hair on it from previous guest. Luckily I bought my own pillow and disregarded that particular one.The bed was comfortable. This is no four star hotel so don't expect any lavish amenities. Its a room with four walls, working bathroom , working AC and some worn fixtures but they work. Room had a microwave and fridge. The door security could be upgraded a little as my security lock was a little broken (frame came off the door slightly but I was able to get it nailed it back in).

This Colorful Inn Treated Me Like Family

My husband and I are so glad our experience was a good one. Our accommodations were safe, clean and priced within reason. What mattered the most was the staff's gracious hospitality, which never waned during our stay. From the moment we checked in, I was treated like family, thanks to this facility's dedicated manager-in-charge, Ron. I recommend Rodeway Inn Near Venice Beach for anyone seeking a temporary home-away-from-home place.

I paid too much (they wont let me say specific price) for a dark stinky room. It seriously smelled like urine. The room looked clean, but the smell was bad.
