This bright four-story hotel is a haven of smart value. Located just off the Venice boardwalk and 200 feet from the beach, the hotel's spacious rooms are brightened with beachy colors and dutifully equipped with chain-standard furnishings, fridges, and two-line phones. The one-bedroom suites are terrific for families, offering master bedrooms with king-size beds, fully outfitted kitchens with microwave and dishwasher, dining areas, queen-size sofa sleepers, balconies, and fireplaces. Photos of local scenes and rock-'n'-roll legends along with works by local artists give the public spaces a cool L.A. vibe, and many rooms have at least partial ocean views (the best views are from the top-floor rooms facing the ocean). Additional incentives include complimentary continental breakfast, free local shuttle service, and secured covered parking. Stay elsewhere if you need a lot in the way of service or if you don't relish the party-hearty human carnival of Venice Beach (Santa Monica is generally quieter and more refined).
wherever it appears.
