A clean, comfortable hotel we stayed at for 3 nights. We arrived very early am on an International flight and were accommodated in a room and offerred complimentary breakfast, until our Suite was available.
Breakfast included in the room rate adequately met our needs, with complimentary wine and cheese early evening.
Front desk staff helped secure tickets to a local concert. All staff were very friendly and helpful.

I was with my boy (14 years old), and we just had a great time at the Elan Hotel. The guys at the front desk were friendly and they allways had very usefull information.
The hotel was clean, with a very good location. The breakfast was not the best of the hotel, but enough to begin the day.
Maybe my only complain is that the room I had was a little bit noisy, because it was located at the ground floor, and I could hear people passing by.
I totally recommend it. If you want to have a great time at LA, stay at Elan.

I'd gladly stay at the Elan Hotel again because it meets the appeal of comfort versus good value admirably. Our room was adequate sized, with bathrobe, slippers and copious snacks and beverages. The 5:00PM wine and cheese was a great touch, done nicer that expected, as was an ample free breakfast of many quality choices. If you need more, there are good places to eat within walking distance. Hat's off to all the staff who were generously friendly and professional. A excess of mild noise in our hallway in the morning precluded sleeping in, so in the future I would avoid the hallway directly behind the main desk. Great location of course, close to many attractions of the area. This one's a keeper.

Stayed here for 4 days in December we arrived to find the Hotel in darkness, a major storm the previous night had taken the power out over a wide area, the manager apologised profusely and offered to move us to their sister hotel -- we stayed and were very glad we did. Everything was perfect, a great individual hotel, a good continental breakfast, very friendly and helpful staff and a great location. The wine and cheese hour was a great idea, it allows the fellow guests to get to know one another, not a bit like the larger impersonal hotels you get in L A. Thoroughly recommended.
Just a couple of points, tea bags in the rooms would be great-- not everybody likes coffee especially us Brits! The rooms at the front are not the modern type of double glazed units, consequently as you are on the main Beverly blvd. traffic noise can be intrusive if you are a light sleeper.
