Positive Reviews
positive:
Location is convenient for exploring Venice Beach
Whilst its position is not the most ideal compared to other accommodation choices, most former guests found the location of the Marina 7 Motel to be convenient. The Venice Beach Boardwalk and Beach are within walking distance, while its position off California Highway 1 makes it simple to both find and explore further afield.
positive:
Free parking is a plus
As Venice Beach is typically an expensive place to acquire a public parking space, the fact that the motel provides free parking was welcomed by many past visitors. With that said, it has also been noted that there is a somewhat limited amount of parking spaces available.
positive:
Polite and helpful staff
The majority of previous guests complimented the service they received from the staff at the Marina 7 Motel. The personnel working at the motel are said to be friendly, while they are also on-hand at all times to offer assistance whenever needed.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Distressed rooms
The rooms at the Marina 7 Motel have not been well received overall by past visitors. One of the reasons for this is the reportedly old and worn down nature of the rooms, with furnishings and amenities showing noticeable signs of wear and tear.
negative:
Substandard cleanliness
The hygiene at the motel, according to some previous guests, was not at an acceptable standard. Mold, stained furnishings, dirty carpets and bugs are cleanliness-related problems that have all been mentioned on more than one occasion.
negative:
Noisy and sketchy area
A number of former visitors have claimed that the Marina 7 Motel is not in the most comfortable or safe location. Due to its position near a busy highway, noise is apparently a constant disturbance. Furthermore, the area was described as sketchy, and the apparent lack of security was a worry.
