I stayed for four nights while doing business in the area. I booked a non-smoking room. My room wasn't ready when I arrived. When the room was ready, the room was a smoking room. There were no non-smoking rooms available until the next night, so I stayed the first night in the smoking room, which smelled like an ash tray. That night a noisy party started up at about 2:00 a.m. I called the front desk, and after about an hour a security guard shut down the party. The next three nights I stayed in a non-smoking room. The carpet was filthy and stained, so much so that I didn't go barefoot in the room! On the positive side, the front desk staff, and the restaurant/bar staff were friendly and helpful.

when booking this trip all the hotels in the area were way over $400 a nite. my friend who we were visiting suggested this hotel. it was wonderful for the price. the rooms were large with kitchenette and small living room. the pool was gorgeous-very old hollywood. right in the middle of everywhere we wanted to go. some bad things were that to get a king bed was alot more money. the front desk staff, while friendly, is not very knowledgable about the area and not the most professional, but they were ok. the hotel is going through some renovations right now, but nothing that would really ruin your stay. if you are looking for an inexpensive, decent and very convenient hotel, this is your place. if you are looking for atmosphere, this is probably not for you.

I stayed two night at this hotel with my girlfriend during our road trip across the west coast. We decided to stay there due to the large distances between places in LA, so after spendind 2 days in Sta Monica we took the chance of staying in this upper class hotel.
Amazingly it wasn´t much more expensive than our last location so the price was nice. We get there very early in the morning just hoping to leave our luggage there and coming back later on. When we get to the entrance the guy of the valet parking took our luggage in and asked for the room to the front desk staff. He told us to go and surprisingly the room was ready so we did the check in and get to the room. It was a nice room, a little bit dark because the best rooms facing the pool are the suites ones but really big and well decorated.
We had a jr suite wich had a full kitchen inside, with oven, microwave, fridge and anything you may need to cook and have lunch or dinner.
The bed was really big and comfy, we had a nice sofa and a huge TV.
The bathroom was really good, made of marble and with thow bathrobes and slippers.
Everything was spotless and when we get to the room at night we had the bed open for us and the light switched on.

The service was great and the maid service too.

The only bad thing is that there was no breakfast included (but that´s for sure the same in this class of hotels). Also they offered us valet parking for 15 $ per night which we declined because there was a lot of free parking outside on the street.
Apart from that, the check out was correct and also the bill.

We stayed in the Beverly Hills Plaza Hotel at the 20th of July. The room was big with a small kitchenette.
The pool is nice as well as the little restaurant.
Good location, rodeo drive around the corner...
I can recommend this hotel.
