A definite hidden gem! Good location, helpful staff, modern clean rooms with good facilities. The free buffet breakfast was basic but had everything you’d need. Free wifi was a good bonus, there’s also a pc in the lobby for those who need it. There’s a little bird in a cage at reception but I didn’t hear it make any noise at night. All the staff I encountered were friendly and helpful. The room was cleaned every day, very thoroughly; I had fresh clean fluffy towels per day, unusual in a budget hotel. The location was ideal for me, opposite the famous Beverly Hills sign, there’s a bus stop right outside too. I used the Star Line hop on hop off buses to get around, they stop at the opposite end of Doheny Drive, about a 10 minute walk away, so really handy. Also just a 5 minute walk away is a Ralph’s grocery store with everything you might need. The area is safe, I didn’t feel worried at all walking around alone in the evening (can’t say the same for the rest of LA!). The little pool area was lovely, I never saw anyone use the pool though, but I wasn’t about much during the day. The only negative is it’s on a busy road and the traffic noise is really bad, I’m not a light sleeper by any means but I had to use ear plugs to get a good night sleep. All in all a great hotel, but take ear plugs!!
