The outside of the building it a little rough. Didn't exactly match the pictures. But the room was clean and there were pleny of towels. Nice helpful staff. Also, this hotel is close to all the sites near Venice Beach. The beach is only 2 few blocks away. There are plenty of dining options around as well. Really great pick.
