    Great hotel steps from Venice Beach!
    Excellent hotel with an amazing roof top bar, wonderful location, and a very accommodating staff. Really nice breakfast options in Erwin's General. A special shout-out to Miguel at the front desk who went above and beyond!
    Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! We are glad you enjoyed your visit, and your breakfast in Erwin's General. Come back soon! Alison D Marketing Manager

    Lovely Stay After An Easy Last-Minute Booking
    We visited Los Angeles for a night as part of a road trip we were taking down the West Coast and decided to stay in Venice Beach. We had booked a stay at another hotel, which we had been told was in proximity to some parking garages but found out upon arrival that was not as convenient as they had let on. We went searching for a last-minute solution on Hotels.com and found Hotel Erwin. We ended up having a wonderful stay! Hotel Erwin has valet parking, which was so important to us as there weren't a lot of parking options in the area and a lot of garages had limited hours. Check-in was quick and smooth, despite us having made our reservation only minutes before arriving. The front desk staff was friendly and offered us a room at the front corner of the hotel, as long as we didn't mind a little extra noise from the nearby staircase during the Red Bull event they were having. We were fine with that and the view from our room ended up being spectacular, especially at sunset! We had booked a Standard, Ocean View room, which was very spacious and had a funky, modern vibe. The king bed was very comfortable. There was a small seating area near the balcony of the room. The balcony had chairs and a small table, and a beautiful view of the beach area. The bathroom had a large shower and a nice-sized counter around the sink for toiletries. The room rate was $360.05, which was reasonable for a nice hotel in the area. We would definitely stay at Hotel Erwin again next time we're in Venice Beach!
    What a great review of your stay, thank you! It was so awesome to read our team was able to find a room that fit your needs while you were staying with us. And as a good reference for future stays, when you book direct on our website we will always have a lower price point than anything you find on other travel sites :) Thank you so much for staying with us, we hope to see you again soon. Best, Patrick Nee Director of Operations Hotel Erwin pnee@hotelerwin.com

    Amazing teamwork by hotel Erwin staff
    Me and my family live in the San Fernando valley. My fiancé works from home due to the covid -19 situation so we decided to get out of the house for the weekend and picked hotel Erwin. Upon arrival the staff was very friendly and noticed they were practicing social distancing and had cleaning crews on hand. That made us feel great. We were greeted by miguel who began to check us in. He went above and beyond to make sure we got the best rate possible and with his positive, great and funny personality we felt extremely comfortable and we hadn’t even checked in. He made sure through out our stay we didn’t need anything . I own a commercial plumbing company and customer service to me is extremely important so seeing miguel go above and beyond was very impressive. Thank you miguel. We appreciate you and the hotel Erwin staff. One last thing upon checking out we spoke with Brooke Mitchell and she to had outstanding customer service, knowledge very sweet and attentive. We explained That were coming back the following week and immediately her amazing customer service skills went in to play giving us all the info we needed and the options on rooms that would benefit the following weekends event. On top of the hotel and rooms being extremely clean speaking with miguel and Brooke really made us feel welcomed and definitely are returning due to again amazing customer service. Good service is hard to find now or days. It’s in a prime spot everything at walking distance from everything. You must check this place out.
    Awesome! We are lucky to have team members like Miguel and Brooke and very lucky to have guests like you! Derek Haug General Manager

The amenities are great at this hotel, free bikes, beach towels, and volleyball towels and a drink upon checking in. Love all that! Our room was above the portico, and opposite of oceanside, it definitely was noisy, but it was also Saturday night. We booked through Expedia and ‘VIP Access’ was supposed to be included. The hotel staff knew nothing about that and didn’t even let us go up on the rooftop without paying.

My boyfriend and I stayed here in April and everything was FANTASTIC. The second we walked in, we were greeted by Miguel, and he went above and beyond getting us a fantastic room where we could see the Venice Skate Park (the reason why we were visiting). It was wonderful being so close to everything and having such a cool view. Every time we walked in we were so welcomed, and the entire staff was so friendly. We have told so many people since our trip to stay here if they are visiting! Cannot recommend it enough and we will definitely be back when we have the chance.

Hotel Erwin was amazing. Great staff, towels and toys for the beach, and the location can't be beat. Venice Beach itself was great for the family - safe and fun. If you're planning a trip to the area, Hotel Erwin is a top choice.

Hotel staff were great. Warm and accommodating. Was a very clean hotel. Rooftop bar and restaurant was beautiful and amazing. Great location for Venice Beach. Everything is right there like a few blocks away. Would come here again when I’m in Venice Beach.

From booking to checkout Joshua at the front desk was the BOMB!!! He went out out his way to make us feel amazing! This hotel has everything, spacious rooms, amazing atmosphere, on location restaurants and provides everything you would need to make your stay a special one. The “free” bike rentals were the best highly recommend. Definitely can’t wait to come back! Thanks again Joshua for a perfect stay!!!!

Even if this hotel wasn’t in the best location ever I would give it a 10/10 based on the staff alone. I look forwarding to going in and out because I get to say hi to everyone. And they’re all so helpful. The towels and bikes you can use are a bonus too!!

I really hated Hotel Erwin. The property was dirty, rooms were very old. I was worried I might actually pick up an infection from the nasty quilt since there is no top sheet to the bed. I also purchased my own pillow at Target since they were so bad. Overall, this place was just sad, run down, and disgusting. On a positive note the staff were great. If you are over the age of 23, do not stay here.

I had high hopes for the Erwin, but sadly it didn’t deliver. It’s definitely a place for people looking to party, so don’t get off a flight from Europe and check in here. The room we had was not well equipped, didn’t expect Motel 6 for $500 per night. The hotel was really noisy in the evening, whether it was the rooftop bar or the speakeasy across the street, the place just wore me down. Coupled with the noise and the simplicity of the room, it wasn’t cleaned properly as the first robe I pulled out of the wardrobe had someone’s hair inside it. I asked for it to be changed, it wasn’t. They did appear to want to keep the rooftop bar area tidy as they were up there scraping the floor at just after 7am on Sunday morning… brilliant. I will say however that the staff we spoke to were all friendly and helpful.
