The Kinney - Venice Beach

The hotel is nicely organized with lots of outdoor areas to lounge. However my room had dozens of ants that got into the bed and luggage. I was only staying one night so I just left early the next morning. The staff also were not particularly helpful, as when I checked in they didn't notify me when my room was ready even though I was waiting next to the desk in the lounge.

The property itself was very cute. Loved the hammocks and stuff around the property for you to lay out and look at the stars. I will say I paid extra for a King (boardwalk) thinking that meant I would have a view of the boardwalk. But was given a queen room I’m pretty sure, as me and my partner both kept thinking this was way smaller then our bed at home. And a room with a view of the hammocks. This property is not even close enough to the boardwalk to see it from any room in the hotel. So I am upset about the upcharge for that. And there was some black mold in the shower but very little. Overall it was a good stay still and we would ultimately stay here again if we were in the area again. Parking costs are outrageous at almost $40 a night but we chose to do street parking and had no issue with that during our stay.

Always a serviceable, lively stay at the Kinney. I'm always here for business so haven't had a moment to use the lovely pool and hot tub, I can see the guests enjoying themselves - couples, solo travelers, and families. Location, staff, grounds all provide excellent value. I'd say you don't get what you pay for. You get more than that at the Kinney

Cons: it’s an old hotel that has been redesigned but not really updated. Small rooms, tight spaces. We were there during a heat wave but the ac didn’t really keep up with cooling the room. Pool area was very small and limited/no pool chairs. The hotel is fine, for us we prefer a bit more space and I guess just a newer built hotel. I think the hotel shows a lot better in pictures than what it does while you’re there.

Superb motor hotel rehab to boutique spot. Great, helpful staff, and terrific location to Venice Beach. I'd book again for sure.

The Kinney was a fantastic place to stay near Venice Beach! The location is perfect, and our room was clean, comfortable, and incredibly spacious. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and professional. We also loved the extra amenities—the pool area, ping-pong tables, and outdoor lounge were wonderful additions to our stay. Highly recommend!

Very good

Nice hotel with easy access to Venice Beach and Venice Boardwalk.

Welcomed into the property nicely. Very clean and relaxed environment. Good spot to head to Venice Canals / Beach and Abbot Kinney. Great for an LA base in the at area for a couple of nights.

Clean rooms Horrible experience with loud nights. Wild behavior. Disruptive all night. So hard to sleep. No help from the staff. No compensation or understanding. Terrible stay. Room service menu took 1.5 hrs

Good sized room, clean, helpful staff, location is convenient bed is on the softer side, sofa bed was very soft and we had anticipated that 2 kids wouldnt be able to sleep on it so pre-ordered a roll-in bed which was not there when we arrived late at night so we had to wait ~40mins for them to deliver.

Location was great for our plans. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. We also enjoyed hanging out at pool/jacuzzi The cost of parking was extreme.
