Best Hotels near Normandie Avenue Seventh-Day Adventist Church, West Athens

Great hotel! Convenient parking (locked with gates), clean, good amenities (iron, fridge, coffee maker with coffee and teas, hairdryer, iron, shared microwave), very good breakfast (cereals, yogurt, fruits, waffles, eggs and sausage patties, bagels and cream cheese). Also, it has onsite restaurant with a 50% dining offer for guests.

Could easily be zero stars. Original room was 93 degrees upon check in, the air conditioning unit was poor by anyone's standard, we asked to switch rooms. They did not offer to come get our bags, or move us to a new room so we brought our luggage back down to the front desk. We were then given a second room. Again, no offer made to accompany us and see if the new room was up to standards. This room was 92 degrees upon entry. After a second phone call, they sent up staff to change the filters on the AC unit. That team told us the AC was functioning well and blowing cold air (it was blowing cold air as if you had a few ice cubes in your mouth and blew on my neck) and to use the blackout curtains (after a sort of condescending explanation of what blackout curtains do) and give it some time for the AC to work. We went out to dinner for about two hours and came back to a nice cool 87 degree room. We once again took our belongings back downstairs. We were then told by the front desk staff that since we booked a room with a king size bed all of those rooms faced the sun and would all have similar problems (why would that be an acceptable answer?) and they could do nothing more for us since they accommodated us once already. I had no idea their idea of accommodating someone was to put them in a room with the same problem that the previous room had but what do I know, I am not in the hospitality industry. We were then told that the hotel was completely booked so no further ”accommodations” could be made. We asked for a refund and this is the first time they reacted with some conviction, they were happy to let us leave. Must be nice to be able to turn away business. At no time were there any apologies, any remorse, just matter-of-factly let us leave. My wife and I don't argue or yell, we never feel its worth it, but we left angry and hotel-less on a Saturday night in Los Angeles. We scrambled to find a new hotel but the damage was done, they took our entire Saturday away from us, which no refund could ever compensate for, they temporarily took our joy to be in town on our own as we are parents and do not get much time away. We did take our business elsewhere, to a Hilton, they seem to understand that to relax you need a room that is slightly cooler than a sauna. We were able to salvage the remaining days of our trip. Also the elevators at the Freehand are old (charming?) and constantly in use because of the rooftop bar so it took us waiting for a few packed elevators to get up and down to the hot AF rooms which probably added to our level of frustration. But it was mostly the Sahara like environment of the hot room. Did I mention the rooms were hot? Also maybe use a free hand to open a book on what hospitality looks like, I think your staff may be surprised. (see what I did there?)

Overall, okay. You get what you pay for: a relatively clean but basic room. The AC was loud but functioned well. Wifi functioned but was slow/spotty when streaming. Bring your own conditioner because they only provide shampoo and soap.

We just returned home from our vacation at Hermosa Beach. I am so glad I chose Beach House Hermosa for our hotel! We loved everything about our stay. The room and the cleanliness of the room and the entire hotel was a huge plus. We chose an ocean front room on the third floor as this was a retirement celebration for me and a friend so splurged a bit. The friendliness of the entire team was superb. We were greeted each time we entered or left the hotel, and whenever we passed any employee. The front desk staff is to be commended for showing genuine interest in us. Plus that valet team - Wow! They took care of us for our car, beach chairs and towels and were always so kind. I told my husband this evening that the team at Beach House Hotel is truly a team and their service is equal to a finely trained Ritz hotel team, but on a more casual natural manner. Kudos to all! We will return to this hotel on the beach and on The Strand for any future visits to Hermosa Beach.

The most important function of a good hotel is to enable a good night’s sleep in a clean and comfortable environment. During our four night stay, the hotel was perfectly quiet. The bed was comfortable. We were not awakened even once by external noises. Our room was immaculately clean. The maid came each day and had our room back in order before noon. We stayed in room 636. It had all the amenities we want from a hotel room. It had a refrigerator, a safe, a large TV, plenty of drawer space, and two comfortable beds. The bathroom had a separate tub, walk in shower, toilet area and sink. This is the largest functional bathroom area of any hotel room that we have seen. The hotel is a green facility. It is off the electric grid, with all power generated from solar panels on the roof. The front desk staff is very efficient, with check in taking about a minute and contactless express check out available. When we needed help with luggage, a staff person was available. When we needed an item we forgot to bring from home, a staff member brought the item to our room quickly. The hotel has a first class Japanese restaurant on the premises known as Ise Shima. It was open for three meal times. Room service is available. We visited for the breakfast buffet, which featured numerous healthy items for a traditional Japanese or American breakfast. We had a perfect experience in the restaurant, too. For the cost of the room, the entire experience is a great value. One can obviously see the great pride the staff has in delivering a perfect hotel experience. The hotel has free parking out front and security at the entrance. A guest cannot take the elevator above the first floor without a room key. The Wi-Fi was free and easy to access. It worked well. A public computer is available on the first floor. A small store also exists, accessible only with a room key. The hotel location is ideal for business or tourists. It is centrally located in the South Bay withi minutes of freeways I-405, I-110, and Route 91. LAX is about 20-25 minutes, downtown LA is less than 30 minutes, Redondo Beach is ten minutes, and Disneyland or Knott’s Berry Farm is about a 45 minute drive. We use the hotel as a base for visit of all attractions in the LA basin.

If you need an affordable motel room within $12 Uber of Venice Beach this is for you. It suited me perfectly for the weekend and here are my thoughts now I’m back in Australia: PROS: Price is good Close to beach Super clean and comfy Maccas right next door and Thai across road Deli and bottle shop around corner Free car parking Friendly staff Double glazed windows stop traffic noise Microwave CONS: Doors are not solid and traffic noise is bad (a shame as the windows are great!) No kettle or coffee machine in room Random people sheltering in stairwell Being cheap you get all sorts of people night and day. Would I bring my family here? Probably not. But for a party night nearby or a bed close to the airport you can’t go wrong. I actually really like the place and would go back any time. Yes an apartment on the beach would be better but they’re 5 times the price and that’s not for me so this place is perfect. I usually take photos but TBH nothing stood out so I didn’t, but it was perfectly fine 👍

I will definitely be returning! I arrived a little early and was accommodated right away. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are perfect. I would highly recommend this hotel

Great experience! Service was excellent and hotel amenities were more than satisfactory. Will definitely be going back

We stayed at MOXY for a weekend and really enjoyed our stay. MOXY is a Marriott hotel, with cool design concept. They share the amenities and services, like fitness and restaurant/bar space, and that makes the experience even better. Level 8 restaurants and bars are place to be during the weekend. We would love to come back.

The rooms are very nice, and well decorated….and kayla at the front desk was very helpful with questions I needed answers to. I am a Ibew local 11 electrician and I’ve worked on very nice hotels this is one of the cleanest I’ve seen in a while. Very unexpected giving the location, thank you ! Room 115 8/21/2022
