Close to Everything

The best thing about the hotel is that it is so close to everything. The staff were friendly and the room was clean- the bathroom was dated, but it was ok for the short time we were there.

Great

Stayed there one night and it awesome. The room decor was great, there was a balcony with a view of the ocean, and you're literally a block away from the shops and restaurants at Venice. The only thing i should warn people about is that the only real option for parking is at the hotel valet and it's $27.50. There's a lot across the street that charges $9, but dont be fooled, you can't park overnight.

Rooftop lounge best part of the hotel

I thought the hotel was just ok until I visited the rooftop lounge - beautiful view and very cool setting for hanging out with friends.

Wonderful stay

I don't know LA but I heard Venice Beach was the place to be for the young and adventurous. I also heard that most places around there were like brothels. My girlfriend and I loved the Erwin. It was super nice and comfortable. We'll go back.

Enjoyed our stay

I had a great time but the parking was a bit pricey and we got our room for a good price but it was 50% off. I don't think it would have been worth it if I had to pay full price. The customer service was ok, but not as good as I am used to when I stay in a hotel. All in all I would give it a 7.5 out of 10 rating. Very cool, trendy vibe they got going.

Great Location but crowded at the hotel

The location of this hotel is fantastic and the new remodel is awesome as well. Unfortunately it has become a hot spot and a few problems incurred. The elevator is sooooo slow! and with lots of traffic going to the new roof bar, which is awesome, it makes getting to your 6th floor room tough. Also, a lot of the time there was only one guy working the valet, not enough! Cars were stacked up and it took a while to get your car. If you are willing to work around these things this hotel is great! Right on the beach the views are awesome, the new rooms great! and right at Venice Beach.

Excellent revamp of the hotel

I was surprised to see the hotel I often stay at became Hotel Erwin (part of the joie de vie Hotel Group). The renovations are still going on - but the upgrades are amazing - the beds, the pillows, the furnishings - aslong as they carry the furnishings on the 6th floor down to the 3rd - you will love it. The new restaurant "hash" looks amazing, and the upstairs lounge (on the roof) beautiful views of the beach. Worth staying there again.

It's Okay...

But I was a bit disappointed with the construction going on. We had to walk through the garage to get to the elevator. Also, we had to move the bed and plug in the clock and lamp, but the wall outlet didn't work. Not a big deal, I mean, it happens, but a hotel should be on top of these things, right? Especially if it's not a flea bag hotel.

Former Best Western Marina Pacific, Now Erwin Hotel

The Hotel met our expectations with the exception of the construction currently taking place and the dirt, dust, and closure of elevators. The rooms were spotless and the staff friendly and cooperative. The Valet parking attendants were especially attentive and friendly.

Great Service

I loved my stay at Hotel Erwin, they are located in the heart of the hustle and bustle that is Venice. The decoration of the room itself was great. The room was filled with art from the local artist and bright colors. All of the employees were extremely helpful and pleasant. The valet/parking rate was always lower than the parking in the surrounding areas. I will definatly return.
