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

This 50s motel is utterly charming, clean and well run - and great value for money. It's close to the Farmers' Market in West Hollywood - brilliant place to eat - and accessible for the beach, city and hills. My only criticism of this place would be that there were no coffee making facilities in the room, but since there's... more

We usually stay at the Farmer's Daughter on Fairfax but their prices went up so much this year we had to find a new place. We really like the location near the Farmer's Market/The Grove so I was pleased to find this hotel. It is a 10 min walk. The rooms are very clean and they put fresh sheets on... more

For the price, the Beverly Laurel is a great place. I lost my cell phone and the staff was very, very helpful to me. The coffee shop, Swingers, had great organic breakfasts. The bathroom was newly renovated and better than I expected, with good water pressure, large showers and even some marble around the sink. The hotel is basic, there... more

Luxury isn't really the name of the game at the Beverly Laurel. This 50-60's style motel is Retro Chic (particularly the AWESOME coffee shop / diner called SWINGERS which is attached). Wait staff provides a hint of hipster 'tude but the food was great and you may spot some C-List celebrities as we did during our stay. Swingers juke-box has... more

After reading all of the glowing reviews of the Beverly Laurel hotel on tripadvisor and expedia I was pretty optimistic about my selection. On arrival the check in was fast and easy, the desk clerk cordial but not very knowledgeable about the area. We were assigned room 109 and proceeded to park the car. The parking situation is dreadful albeit... more

During a trip to Los Angeles I wanted a place to spend a night in West LA near the Farmer's Market/museums. I picked the Beverly Laurel because of the location and price after reading reviews on TripAdvisor. I made the reservation through hotels-and-bookings.com, which offered the lowest overall cost, including booking fees. A room with 2 double beds was $95/night... more

Whenever I choose a hotel, I check TripAdvisor at first, because the reviews are very depandable and accurate. However, Bevery Laurel Hotel was an exception. I don't understand why everybody gives 4 and 5 stars for this place. It's just an old motel with Hollywood style funky furniture. Our bathroom shelf was broken, the lines were very tired, toilet tank... more
