Barlo's barn-to-belly theme surfaces at all meals and is much appreciated by local hipsters, but be sure to make reservations on weekend eves.
Gayot "Overlooking famous Muscle Beach, this boutique-style hotel is just a few blocks away from the dining and shopping of busy, trendy Abbot Kinney and close to the historic Venice canals."
BlackBook "No longer a Best Western, but still vibrant colors and bits of local flair. In the morning, rooftop brunchies, at night, rooftop drinkies."
Zagat "This stylish Joie de Vivre boutique hotel sits on the edge of the boardwalk, in the heart of zany Venice Beach, offering smallish rooms with a bigger view."
