This hotel was a last minute choice and what great choice it was really friendly staff location was fab; a little beach, walking distance to Venice beach, and had a superb view. 100% would stay there again.

Loved it cwrbt with my 10 year old and stayed 4 days. Was wonderful and would go again. Easy walk to Venice beach. It was great.
Excellent and affordable place to stay on Venice Beach. We had no issues. If you want a nice, clean, safe place to stay with free parking that allows you to spend more money on other things, I'd highly recommend it!
The location is excellent and the view of the harbor is excellent. For the price all was a good experience. It is an older property that did allow us parking and an easy in and out.
The room smelled like poo. But otherwise a great location and nice place.

The staff was friendly, the location is great, and the coffee, tea, and hot chocolate bar was a really thoughtful touch. The shower fixtures could use an upgrade, but all in all it was a good stay for the price, we’d happily stay again.
It was a nice quiet hotel. Could use a coffee maker in the room. Views were nice and staff was friendly

Great location and view. Courteous staff, free parking, room was reasonably clean. But, outside of the lobby it was run down and poorly maintained. The bathroom had paint splattered in some areas and spots where paint had flaked off. Toilet paper holder showed gap in drywall. Funky, poorly painted crown molding on the walls, etc. This place has huge potential but the rooms need a major upgrade.
This hotel is definitely older and could be updated, but clean. It was a decent price for the area and was adequate for our needs this weekend.
The staff is friendly. The Saturday farmers market was excellent and only a 3 minute walk from the Foghorn.

Very simple, small two-story hotel. One side has patios and balconies facing the harbor, while the other side faces Via Marina. There’s no restaurant on the property, but there are plenty of food options nearby. There’s also a small “beach” area you can use, and the location is very walkable.
Our room was dated but clean, with a nice balcony and comfortable beds. Free parking is definitely a plus, and they’re pet-friendly—even for large dogs, which is great.
One thing to know: the front desk closes for a meal break, and they disappear until they’re done 😩😁, so don’t expect someone to always be available.
Overall, if you’re the type of person who likes to spend a lot of time inside the hotel enjoying the property and amenities, this probably isn’t the place for you. But if you mainly want a clean, comfortable, reasonably located place to sleep while you’re out enjoying the area, then yes—you can definitely stay here.
This is a gem hidden from the noise and the traffic of LA. Great views from the balcony and the walking areas around the property are great. Easy 1 mile to Venice but not part of the circus
