Venice V Hotel

The fellas at the hotel were so friendly and helpful. What a funky hotel with great amenities just steps to the beach. Highly recommend.

Hotel has a cool vibe. It was clean & safe. Upscale lobby area. Very kind & professional staff. No restaurant or bar, but several nearby. There is $100/per night hold and an amenity fee at checkin. The fee includes use of beach towels, chairs, umbrella, and bikes. Valet parking is $53/per night. Valet staff was awesome, very prompt and courteous. They offer in & out privileges and provide overnight security for vehicles. Complimentary late checkout is 12:30PM if the room is available. Max late checkout time is 3PM at an additional $190 cost. Room has a mini fridge, a safe, 2 robes, expresso machine, and box water. No microwave. No cable or full satellite service. No dresser, iron or ironing board. They provide a steamer, luggage rack, & ice bucket upon request. There is rooftop seating for views of the ocean & lovely sunset. Staff politely requests be quiet up there because Penthouse rooms are next to the rooftop. There were lots of tourists & locals enjoying the boardwalk- walking, biking, & dining. Many also watched the skaters at the skatepark. Also on the boardwalk & beach were lots of people experiencing homelessness. There were tarps on carts, and several tents. Many were sleeping directly on the sand with blankets, and sleeping at the public restroom areas- overnight and during the day. There were cleanup crews & safety teams daily in the early mornings. There was lots of despair. It was very sad.

Fun place to stay, right on the beach. Staff is wonderful, welcoming and amazing. The only issue was really room size. If you are looking for a standard "American" type room, this place is not for you. Very much a European style boutique hotel. Clean rooms, but not very spacious and very little storage available. No dressers, etc. Walking distance to everything on Venice Beach, we had a great time there. We would return.
