The only thing the Hotel Erwin has going for it is the location and proximity to Venice Beach. The hotel is in a super convenient location if you want to spend time on the Venice strip and hang out on the beach (it is very walkable to the ocean—we walked there twice a day to play in the water). I booked through Expedia, which asks for the ages of the children. Our children were both over 12 years old and I noted that accordingly during the Expedia booking process. The Expedia page states that the hotel includes “free breakfast,” however, upon arrival, the hotel refused to give us the breakfast vouchers for the kids because “they were over 12 years old”(though, again, I specifically noted their ages during the Expedia booking process). We let the kids use the breakfast vouchers and they reported that the breakfast was not good (with my oldest saying “I don’t know how someone could make potatoes taste so bad.”). The hotel said breakfast would be “made to order” but it was not. Several of the staff were rude (especially to my 13 year old son who had forgotten his key at the beach and needed to get into our room. He answered all of the security questions but then they made a snarky comment and refused to give him a key, which required him to walk back to the beach and for us to all get out of the water to help him access the room). They were rude and unprofessional to a respectful young man and that was uncalled for. Great location but otherwise not good.

Great location, kind and professional staff. The daily rate included breakfast, all beach needs such as towels, beach chairs,boogie boards, etc. only downside is I feel that they could have given hotel guests better parking rates. I believe it’s about $60 a night. Between that and the daily fee it was $100 more per day. Outside of that, I would definitely come back again

I live close and want to like Erwin for it's convenience but it was TERRIBLE! The elevator took a very long time day and night. The hallways and rooms smelled horrible. The room itself was TINY and the balcony looked at a dumpster and the dumpster smell heated up and filled the room.

nice hotel right at the hart of Venice beach.

Great location right on Venice Beach. It is a 4-star hotel, but the service was excellent. If you're ok with the mixed crowd right near the hotel and see all types of CA beach activities (it's right near Muscle Beach), then the place is for you. There is a nice Greek restaurant at the top with good views. Make sure to reserve in advance on OpenTable. I recommend and will stay there again.

Amazing ocean view but you have to pay for it.

We had an ocean view and it was amazing! Older hotel, but they did aesthetic upgrades in the room. Lots of public parking but you have to pay so we did valet parking as you would have to pay for parking regardless.

Last Stay Here

Unfortunately the rooftop was under construction and was not informed before booking. This took away the primary hotel amenity meant for booking this hotel. It also caused the solo elevator to be booked all week by workers and suppliers to get patio furniture changed over so new management could take over. On last day when it was finally opened I bought a drink and sat at a table without reservations and then was told to leave as someone had reserved the table. Was a regular here staying every 6 months for 10 days in premium suites but this is my last trip.
