Marina del Rey Hotel
Great value for the money. Clean, good looking hotel. Rooms was pretty good, not amazing. I guess this is pretty common for LA but the area is not walkable. A small hotel. Warm pool. The marina is also packed with boats, it’s not like a nice waterfront view, though there is some visible water.
