Kyrylo, Marina Del Rey

Travelled with family
Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pros: Great location, quiet, close to the beach, polite staff. Cons: The hotel is old and has a smell. From the room on the 4th floor, the view of Diamond Head is almost nonexistent, with only a small glimpse of the ocean. Cigarette butts fall onto the balcony from above. They don’t inform guests about additional fees, such as paid parking ($40 per day) or the amenity fee (also $40 per day), so you’ll face an unpleasant surprise at checkout. It was very frustrating that, according to my Expedia booking, the property was supposed to charge me only $235.90, but in reality, they charged $445.30. They explained that this was because I booked through Expedia instead of directly with them, and also that parking is paid (which was not mentioned anywhere), along with amenity fees and other unexpected charges.

Located in location with no nearby restaurants. Closest was a 15 minute walk. No umbrellas available to rent for beach, though chairs and towels were provided. Crack in sink should be repaired. Entry to room with keycard extremely difficult.

Staff was super friendly and the location was good as it was a bit further away from the busy Waikiki center. What I didn’t like was the resort fee which enabled you to receive certain things like beach bikes and chairs but of which I was never informed of. I was just told that there would be a fee which sounded like a standard fee to me. They charge this fee per day regardless of usage.
