Venice, Marina Del Rey & Playa del Rey
Set in a string of boho studio and apartment hotels overlooking the Boardwalk, rooms here are fairly large with new wood floors, wall-mounted flat-screen TVs, kitchenettes to full kitchens and framed black-and-white photos of old-school surfers, around a deeply grained wooden staircase. The reception desk is off Paloma Ave.
There's no elevator.
Parking is $25 per night.
