Travel tips

Plan to drive for most LA sightseeing: while Venice and Santa Monica are close (roughly 2–6 km to the main beach attractions listed), destinations like Hollywood and Universal Studios are much farther (around 17–19 km). Budget for extra on-property costs mentioned by guests, including a destination-style daily charge and higher-priced on-site food and drinks. If you plan to explore the beach paths and canals, consider the on-site bike rentals (fee-based) and build time for valet parking (also fee-based).

On the downside, some guests point to added daily charges that increase the total cost, along with relatively high prices for on-site food and drinks. A minor maintenance/operations issue is also mentioned regarding an on-property ATM not functioning.
