Nice hotel in Marina del Rey with a midcentury-modern touch. Pictures of famous visitors from the 60ies indicate a long history. Beautiful marina view - if you are staying on 2nd or 3rd floor. Rooms on first floor are facing pool, restaurant or parking lot instead and shouldn‘t be sold as marina view at all!
Marina del ray is a nice, safe and quiet area which is not for from Venice, Santa Monica and Hollywood. We stay in L.A. a lot and this is our most favourable area.
The restaurant of the hotel is pricy but very recommendable. Poolarea is okay, big jacuzzi, but a shower is missing - not very hygienic. Only valet parking, since there is no other way to get there as by car it‘s another 45$/per night you should substract from your budget. Overall we can recommend the place as long as you are not staying on 1st floor.
