The hotel is at a busy intersection full of unattractive strip malls, but downtown Culver City is charming, historic, and walkable, with some decent and not too expensive restaurants. (Rush Street and Kay N’ Dave’s on Culver Boulevard are personal favorites of mine. Kay N’ Dave’s is supposed to be re-opening in the Fall.) The Westbound lanes of Culver Boulevard (walkable from the hotel) are currently blocked off for outdoor dining. I think they’ll continue to be blocked off through the end of the year.
If you’re into Thai food, Natalee Thai on Venice (also walkable) is a great restaurant and should be open on NYE.
