Residence Inn by Marriott Marina Del Rey

As an Ambassador Elite with spending over 150 nights in Hotels this is the worst! Location is great, but everything else is just bad! Too many useless managers and sleepy staff. Cleaning i also think is not on a daily agenda! Front Desk Staff I am not even talking about! Food and Beverage way overpriced for the quality of Service & Food! They need a change of management immediately, because the Concept for a Residence Inn and Location is great!

Upon checking into the room, we spotted a couple of peices of Cheetos on the floor under the cabinet which I reported immediately to the front desk. The Cheetos were still there when we left a week later. Also, there's no body lotion in the bathroom. On top of it all, they charged us a $20 a night destination fee at check out; a bogus charge that basically jacks up room rate $20 a night without upfront notice. Parking is insanely expensive too. Nearby activities: Close to Santa Monica and Malibu (sort of)

If you do decide to book here, be very careful about where your room is located. There is a bar/restaurant on the second floor, basically right outside of a number of rooms with terraces. If you think that booking a room with a terrace would be a good idea, choose a different hotel. You will have ZERO privacy on the second floor, bar staff outside of your window at any given time and a bar party with DJ and loud people every Friday and Saturday evening. The rooms go at a premium based on the fact that they have a terrace, but the terrace is useless and you will have no peace on Friday or Saturday evenings. There were a handful of other issues with our stay, like how the rooms have no safe for personal belongings, limited closet space, non-working AC, only a fraction of staff speaking English, restaurant wait staff with barely any training, strangely unprofessional exchanges with valet staff, etc, but the way the hotel double dips by taking bookings for loud parties right outside of guest rooms clearly takes the cake. The only thing this hotel has going for it is the location, and they seem to be banking hard on it, thinking they can get away with anything. When it comes to our experience as guests, it was a major bait and switch - not at all reflecting of the Marriott brand. For the money we spent vs. the value we received, I unfortunately cannot give more than one star. My advice would be to take your patronage elsewhere.

Looks nice hotel in a great location with friendly staff. Be sure to visit the open air bar in the evening, have a great view of the marina and ride your bikes to Fisherman's Village. Venice Beach is within walking distance. Walkability: Venice Beach is within walking distance.

This is a comfortable resort-type accommodation in the best location.
