Venice Suites is a historic hotel right on Venice Beach and the boardwalk, offering beautiful views and a relaxing rooftop veranda with amazing views of the ocean and even the Santa Monica Ferris Wheel at night. The location is incredible, perfect, and convenient to everything, including the Venice Beach Sign, shops, food, a convenience store, and a bar. Many rooms are comfortable with stocked kitchenettes, full-size fridges, and stoves, though one guest noted a room lacked a fully equipped kitchen as described. The ocean breeze cools the rooms nicely, making air conditioning unnecessary. While many find the stay a treat with a cool beach vibe and friendly, helpful staff, a significant downside was reported for one specific room, which suffered from loud, disruptive banging from above every morning for hours. Parking is also noted as a downside, being a few blocks away and either first-come-first-serve or expensive at a nearby lot. Despite these issues, many guests are very happy, plan to stay again, and enjoy being steps from the beach for activities like skateboarding, biking, and watching spectacular sunsets.
