2-Star Hotels in Marina del Rey

I spent a few days in January (2020) as a guest here. It wasn't luxurious, but I have to say that the service was very good: very personable but efficient customer service. Everything was very clean & set up quite well. Also, the position was just right. It's not on the ocean, but it is in a well-travelled area - right on the border between Venice and Marina del Rey. All in all, I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a comfortable stay, but doesn't want to break the bank.

Central location in the heart of Marina del Rey. We had a very large room with balcony and partly view of the beach. The hotel has a restaurant, bar and outdoor pool. The yacht port of Marina del Rey, Venice Beach and many restaurants, shops and supermarket are accessible by foot. The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable, but it is very nice to stay in the garage with $29 per day, especially since there is a cheaper public parking right next to the hotel.

This cute hotel is 7 blocks from the Venice Beach Pier. The beach is busy : lots of action from the un housed to the flamboyant rollerbladers. But 7 blocks away at the Kinney you’ll find a relaxed ambiance worlds away from the congestion of the beach scene. My room was spacious, clean and quiet. The bathroom was well equipped, the bed/ bedding deluxe and the blackout shades top performers. I brought my own bike, the Kinney does charge for use of theirs, and had a fabulous ride on the bike trail that goes from Will Rogers to Torrance. I highly recommend dining at NUEVO. Innovative menu and affordable. I also had a satisfying meal at Wonky Wok. I found street parking, Kinney does charge for parking, really close by- safe neighborhood. The staff were welcoming and courteous. I really loved my stay- I could live at the Kinney!

The hotel is very close to Venice beach, about a five-minute walk. We were given a south-facing room with a balcony and a view of the sea. Venice beach is very lively. There are 5 stores within 100 meters of the shops. It is still a bit scary to go shopping at night.

The hotel is not far from the beach, there is no breakfast, there are slides for children playing downstairs, there is a small pier, but the room we lived did not have a bathtub, the children's room was dirty, the breakfast was ordered. The bath water was small. Hotel rooms have partial sea views.

Stayed here for 1 night after landing in LA from the U.K. Wanted to stay somewhere close to airport. Room was as expected. Very large, clean, bit tired but okay. Noisy aircon unit and fridge which didn’t bother us too much as only a one night stay. Great location, right on the beach, 5 min walk to Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Had pancake and parking deal which was good value. Offered free parking and breakfast, which was actually a $25 credit per person for breakfast/brunch menu which runs from 7am-3pm, so that was useful. Hate that Hilton always takes days/weeks to credit back the $50 room deposit that they take from you on arrival! Overall a good stay and would stay again, but just for one night after a flight into LA.

My boyfriend and I just stayed at Foghorn Harbor Inn in Marina Del Rey, and it was awesome! The staff gave such a warm welcome, and the room had this killer view of the marina – felt like pure luxury. They don't have a restaurant, pool, or gym, but who needs it? The service was great, especially from the desk guy who hooked us up with local tips that made our visit even better. What's even cooler is that their side door comes out straight to the beach! The place is in a great spot for exploring the marina, with cool walks and plenty of dining options nearby. Seems like the hotel got a facelift or new management, and it totally shows – in a good way. Foghorn is perfect if you and your significant other want a laid-back and comfy stay with direct beach access in this cool spot.

I have stayed at this hotel four times and really enjoy it. The location is great. Walking distance from Venice Beach and close enough to the airport to be considered on a layover. The restaurant has good food and the marina setting is quite nice. It is a new hotel, so rooms are still in good shape. I had a great view with a balcony using an upgrade once, and that added some ambiance. Finally, the gym is not bad. That said, I am noticing that the price has increased quite a bit to now be as much or more than the near by Marriott and (crazy as it seems) only $50 per night different than the Ritz Carlton. I really can't imagine. If the price is down between $200-$300 per night, that is a good deal but otherwise shop around.

Second time staying here for over a month! Super happy with housekeeping, front desk, valet, and engineering. A few front desk employees who were super kind and helpful that stood out to me are Jessica, Richard, Araceli, and Ivah: Thanks front desk! All of housekeeping staff are amazingly kind and provided excellent service! I apologize to housekeeping for my continuous calls requesting items as I did not request cleaning much because I had my 2 dogs. Thanks housekeeping! Valet is also amazingly awesome! They all did fantastic as most days they were super busy and they still provided excellent service! Kevin, Glen, and a few others stood out because of how patient they were with me since I always driving in and out with our busy schedule. Lol they did not seem to be bothered at all and they were always kind and very helpful! Thanks valet! Engineering team is also helpful, Michael and Tony are so welcoming, professional and always had a smile! Aside from great hospitality, rooms with kitchens were nice and roomy. Wi-Fi always on point. Gym and pool on site is great! Brizo restaurant and bars are also awesome! Really no complaints at all! My daughter, I, and my 2 pups enjoyed our stay both times! I recommend to book a stay!

Honestly. A lovely hotel but not worth the price If you are going, just make sure u don't get room 1102. Even front desk staff agreed she hears complaints about it's size and location frequently
