We had such a wonderful stay at the green ginger guest house. I was amazed at how quiet it was, even though it was in such a large metropolitan city. Gloria was a wonderful person to work with, and we will definitely stay there again in the future.

Beautiful, cozy beach unit

I absolutely loved this place! Check in was super easy with the lockbox and Gloria (house manager) was communicative. I only stayed one night (wish I had more time) but the unit was perfectly stocked with a nice pull out couch, separate bed, fans, , kitchenette. It was incredibly clean. About a 10 minute walk or so to beach and then another 10 to marina. The outside space is incredible. Big hot tub with outdoor seating and plants. Roof top balcony with views for days!

This was The Best Value for a Hotel I've ever had! It's a one room Palace with all the amenities you'll ever need. Perfect Location, in the heart of the Playa Del Ray Neighborhood of Venice Beach. Very Ritzy area. Staff was EXCELLENT. Super helpful and Hospitable. Family Owned and Operated. You feel Loved right when you walk through the door. Can't say enough about this place. They don't have anything close to this in Detroit for the price. I've stayed at several awesome Hotels in my short stay so far in LA. All of them were great in their own way but this place is Above and Beyond. You won't regret staying here, I promise.

Our second stay at The Green Ginger Inn was just as wonderful as the first.This time, we stayed in the larger suite. It was large with a pull-out couch. The pull-out couch was comfortable for a pull-out, surprisingly. The suite was spotless. The neighborhood is so quiet, and we felt completely safe. We were comfortable parking our car there overnight and let our kids, 13 y/o, explore the neighborhood without supervision. I highly recommend the Green Ginger Inn and will stay there for my future trips to LA. The location is wonderful, close to the major highways and only 20 minutes from downtown when the traffic isn't bad. But you have to time it, as it is with LA.

Well, the life is full of experience. I arrived earlier to check the place. There was a previous guest who was up to leave but there was no one whom to give the key. I offered to wait. He told me that the place was okey, worth $70/per night. He had the only one nice room of the guest house on the top, with a good view,as at it shown the Expedia's page. The (manager?) lady arrived app. 30 minutes later. She told me I can not have this kind of a nice room, my room is down back (it was facing to the neighbouring wall). "Everybody gets what he paid for" - she said. I paid app. $131/night (395.43/3 nights). Really? The house is old, the roof is unsafe, damaged furnitures and dirty. No parallel bars or anything can protect you. Unsafe, especially for children! In the first night the heating and the TV had electricity problem but is was solved by the 2nd night. There are 2 parking lots in front of the house but if you miss them the street parking is safe. Old house, which means you can hear anything from the neighbours, I was kind of prepared for that but I agree with the previous complaint that the down floor is worst. The good part? The neighborhood is safe and the room is clean.

Can't wait to return

My stay here was lovely. I was made to feel at home fairly quickly and the hotel room was decorated to perfection. The location of the hotel is in a lovely neighborhood, one that I am keen to return to and I would encourage other people to book this hotel.
