We loved coming back to Venice and staying again at the Hotel Erwin. It was the perfect place for our LA-filled weekend with visiting friends, going to Gjusta, and just being in the neighborhood. Thanks for the great hospitable team from GM Derek to the front desk and valet team. Loved hanging out on the rooftop as well. Thanks again and can't wait to be back!

Amy was a gem, we met her on the rooftop and then again munching on a slice of pizza. The room was great. The view of The Venice Beach Boardwalk eclipsed the sunsets. We had a blast. But it all turned to black because the parking situation at Hotel Erwin is a fiasco! We had a late check in, coming from seeing Marc Maron perform across town at The Hayworth. It was 2AM when we parked our car. I didn't want to valet, so the guy in the lobby told me it was okay to park my car in the lot across the street. I didn't need my car for the rest of my trip but on check out, when I went to get my car, I was accosted by two thugs running a mafia front masquerading as a "Public Parking Lot" at 32 17th Avenue. Everyone at Hotel Erwin needs to be way more vigilant about the parking lot situation, build the cost of parking into the room price or offer complimentary parking to every guest but come on! You guys are better than this. Who wants their very last memory of Venice Beach to be two b-list bozos at a parking lot holding your wallet hostage like they're auditioning for a prequel to The Sopranos where Tony cuts his teeth as a bitter parking attendant while the management of Hotel Erwin enables the scam by conveniently looking the other way.…

Myself and three girlfriends stayed two nights at the Hotel Erwin and had an incredible time. We used the complementary beach cruisers and had a fantastic time on the roof at sunset. Very COVID compliant and the staff was incredibly accommodating. Miguel and everyone at the front desk was there for any of our needs, and the view from the roof was the cherry on top. Room was clean and very spacious and comfortable. A king suit was more than enough room for four people with the large pull out couch.

I brought my daughter (5 yrs) and son (15 yrs) for our first Venice Beach vacation together... Hotel Erwin made it memorable in every way. When we pulled in, the valets treated us like royalty even though we were ragged from a weeklong road trip. Instantly made us feel welcome. We were pleased by the excellent location (a one-minute walk to the beach) and the room (hip place with a cool patio that overlooked an alleyway where they FILMED AN ACTUAL MOVIE SCENE DURING OUR STAY). The boardwalk is a must-see for anyone who digs a laid-back, surf/skate atmosphere. The staff brought us goodies twice (snacks and beach balls) and gave us beach towels for our numerous swims. I don't know how they could've made it better. They made a great trip a stellar one. Thanks so much! We will definitely be back. --Pat, Brogan & Morgan from Texas.…

I was pleasantly surprised at what a nice hotel this was so close to the boardwalk. The front desk staff and valets were amazing - incredibly friendly, accomodating, and very helpful with recommendations, five star service. The room was small but quite nice, beds were extremely comfortable, everything was clean. There was a decent partial ocean view, although that also included the alleyway leading to the boardwalk, which wasn't great, but that's the way the hotel is situated. Immediately adjacent to the boardwalk and beach and a close walk to restaurants. Our resort fee came with amenities, so I used the bike for a ride down the boardwalk, which was a treat. My car was securely parked in a locked garage, there was a safe in the room, and the corridors were relatively quiet. A wonderful stay, I would definitely recommend. Venice Beach, on the other hand, has gone down hill significantly, I'm less likely to visit again any time soon, but that may be partially because we were just coming out of the COVID haze.…
