Very clean. Affordable. Would stay there if budgeting John was amazing to talk to.
Great value for the location. Rooms are clean and well kept for despite being a bit worn from age. Staff was very helpful. They have a parking garage at next extra cost
Jolly Roger can't be beat! This is prime real estate. Free parking space. Room was spotless. You get a fridge. You get quality toiletries. You get a free ice machine. A little coffee machine in the room. At their prices you'll really feel like a pirate!
Look- this hotel is nothing spectacular. You aren’t staying at the Ritz Carlton. But it’s clean, it’s safe, there’s parking, and the service is good. The room is spacious and has everything you need. If you’re looking for fancy- this might not be for you. But if you’re looking for a place to sleep that’s clean and has the essentials- this is the spot for you. I have no complaints from my stay. The building is old, but it’s got everything you’ll need. I would definitely stay here again.
Grateful with the personnel at this Hotel. I forgot my wallet in reception. They were professional, helpful and went beyond their duty and I received my wallet with everything in it (credit cards, Debit cards and Driver's license) 3 days after scheduling a pickup. Highly recommend this location. Nothing says more about an hotel than the honesty of the staff. Thank you so much guys!!!!
Great area, beach is walkable, staff were friendly - shout out to Luke at reception who warmly welcomed us in LA! Place was clean and room was very spacious. On the second day my hairdryer broke and it was replaced the same day! Room lovely and quiet despite central location.
Luke was very friendly and gave amazing customer service! However the other male front desk worker was very rude and gave off creep vibes. The rooms looked clean but we did find what appeared to be a bug on the sheets.. All in all it was a nice stay and would definitely come again. It’s also wheelchair accessible!
Jolly Roger hotel can’t beat no hotel room 306 is the best room ever they have good quality in the air condition and good service and good toilets and bath tub and room 306 has a good tv and a nice receptionest and a self of magazines. and the hotel is very nice hotel ever way better than any other hotel in the world and good service and I love the jacuzzi and the hot tub and the pool and good breakfast and a nice sauna and good Wi-Fi
Colorful beach town with the funky Venice Boardwalk, scenic canals & trendy Abbot Kinney eateries.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in California. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
