On arival late at night and after meeting a rather un-enthusiastic receptionist it was not promising. The rooms look like they would be more akin to an hourly rate, with a huge mirror and tiger print beadspread and curtains and with the lack of any safes, plus the unfortunately named swingers cafe downstaris I wasn't sure i'd make it through... more

This hotel was a great value. Don't expect luxury. Just a clean place to stay, and a great rate. We didn't use the pool, and didn't ever see anyone in it. Free parking was nice, because this is hard to find in LA. Swingers restaurant downstairs was GREAT for breakfast. The freshest eggs I have ever tasted. Will return to... more

Stayed at The Beverly Laurel for four nights at the end of July. Check in was easy, the room was big and clean and very comfortable (with a sink/microwave/fridge - very handy when you are travelling), the pool was small but great to cool you down in the heat. The hotel is in a really convenient location and the free... more

The hotel seems nice on the outside... a perfect freeze of a 1950s Motor Hotel. It is fun and kitchy, but not that great. First off, instead of fixing water damage in the bathroom, they simply painted over it. The room had a slight list to it and the gaps in the door let all sorts of light in. Parking... more

LIKED: Location was excellent, walked to the Grove Mall and Farmers Market, Writers Guild Library. Short drive to lots of great stores, including Whole Foods. Parking is included. Fun and trendy coffeeshop with decent food and great buttercream cupcakes below, open all hours and gets busy. Nice staff. Pool. The new rooms are very nice for a motel, marble shower... more

Based in a good location near to The Glade shopping centre, the Farmer's Market, and the Beverly Centre. Parking provided and good American Diner next to hotel. The room was clean and spacious and included a kitchen sink area and microwave and the bed was very comfortable. From the motel it's a fairly easy drive to the Hollywood sign, Hollywood... more

Several times I have visited LA, I've stayed at the Farmer's Daughter hotel to be near the Farmer's Market/Grove. The prices have gone UP. I tried this hotel which is an 8 minute walk from the Farmer's Market. The Beverly Laurel is clean and has a refrigerator and microwave in the room. The office staff is very nice. They have... more

I'll start with the pros. The reviews on this site are, for the most part, accurate. It does have a cool retro vibe - decor is adorable. Location is excellent, and there is free parking, which is important. The diner downstairs is FANTASTIC - we ate there several times and loved every meal, and the prices were quite reasonable. We... more

Stayed here for 3 nights in Sept 08 during a road trip of Cali with my husband. I booked the hotel as is very retro and my husband and I are big fans of this style. When we got there, the room we were assigned to stank of cigarettes, so we asked to change and this was done with minimal... more
