    This hotel has a nice ambience! The front lobby features a retro black and white TV from the 1960s! The amenities here include an outdoor pool! Sun loungers! Complimentary WiFi! Hotel is also conveniently located next to Beverly center shopping mall! The rooms have a vibrant look and come equipped with a flat screen TV! Coffee maker! Microwave! Refrigerator! Round table with chair! Mirrored Walk in closet! Ironing amenities! Hair dryer! Functional air conditioner! Only downsides here are: There is a $10 property fee charged at check in! NO fitness center! NO laundry room!

    I LOVE this hotel and have stayed here several times. It's an amazing spot. It's a great location -- right next to Swingers Diner and just a couple of blocks from Trader Joe's and the Grove. Vintage 60s style and great rooms. Plan on going back later in the fall! :)

    Getting ready for my wedding day at the Beverly Laurel!

    Very accommodating for my wedding weekend! I am so thankful for the wonderful experience! I will definitely be recommending this hotel to all my friends and family and I hope I get to stay here again even though I live in Los Angeles.

    I loved our stay at the Beverly laurel motor hotel! The hotel is so conveniently located right in the heart of all the places you'll want to be. I love how close to melrose/fairfax and Hollywood it is! The infamous 24/7 deli Canters is just down the street, there's also a late night diner just downstairs to indulge your late night cravings as well. The hotel itself is cute. The whole building had this beachy, old Hollywood charm to it. Especially the pool area. It's like something out of a Lana Del Rey music video. It has a charm. The room was very spacious, my only complaints are 1) the room had a chlorine smell to it. SUUUUPER chemically smell. I just kept telling myself at least it must be REALLY clean ‍ I didn't see any of the bed bugs being pointed out in some of the other reviews, though the couch was a little dirty. 2)My only other complaint is that the suite only had one mirror in the bathroom. Making it impossible to do my hair outside of the bathroom. The bathroom is basically one big shower room, so that was kind of inconvenient. The staff was very friendly, from the front desk to the valet. I'll definitely be staying here again in the future. I highly recommend.

    Construction out the bedroom window.

    This hotel probably was nice at one point in time. The upkeep is just not there. They need new house keeping and someone to check their work. Everything was dusty and the carpets are very worn and smell. They need a renovation horribly bad! The furniture is dirty and run down and the beds are extremely uncomfy. The mattress was so worn down that my hip bones hurt when I woke up from lack of padding. The room smells old and dingy. We turned on the ac and it smelled horrendous so we checked the filters and they were frighteningly dirty. We had to clean them to use the ac. They use a linen service but their towels smelled like they do not get clean enough. I would not recommend staying here. The price is outrageous for the condition of the rooms. I will be booking elsewhere from now on. Also, they fail to mention that construction is happening next door and we had no idea until 6:45am when we were woken up by that noise. Its literally a 50ft pit that is being dug into the ground outside the bedroom window. This was a mistake to stay here

    DO NOT STAY HERE! and Don't spend your money on a suite! Your windows face the alley and street so you pay extra for road and alley noise. My room smelled and was dingy and tired. The front desk staff was not helpful and condescending when questioned about the issues. Find another hotel!

    Are any of these lights supposed to work??

    The room was a good size but kind of gloomy and barren. There were several light fixtures that did not turn on. I could not tell if that was because they were no longer in use or should have been repaired. We were only there one night so we just let it go and went to bed early. The area is a little scary to walk around in the evening. We walked four blocks to dinner and were accosted by two different people on the street. It was nice that there was a private parking lot. That was the biggest plus of the place.

    Very nice location near the Grove (massive shopping center + Farmer's Market). It sits above Swinger's Diner. The lobby is nice, but the elevators don't work! BL keeps the style and theme of the hotels is the LA 80s vibe without looking run down. It's nostalgic yet somehow manages to keep the place nice and modern. The theme on the outside follows into each room. No matter what type of room you book, there is a cute happy face pillow waiting for you! Our bed was round which was interesting. I've never slept on a round mattress before. Bathroom was beautiful and spacious. Staff was nice and friendly. I don't there were any other amenities included in our stay but probably not necessary as there were so many retail businesses around the area to explore.

    I really loved the place and location, I really enjoyed my stay; however, I was notified that the elevator wasn't working upon arrival. I would understand if it was a recent issue, but there were signs posted on the elevators that looked older than a day (washed out from sun and/or ripped). This did not seem as a recent sign. I would have appreciated a call or even an email notifying me ahead of time, maybe even a small discount. When I brought it up to the receptionist he did not seem very concerned and although he was very nice he just did not seem to care about the feedback I had.

    Excellent place to stay. I was recently dislocated from my apartment because my building was in a fire. I was traumatized. I lost my car and a number of my things were unsalvageable. I needed a clean and quiet but cheerful environment to stay at and get my head together. Beverly Laurel was just around the corner from my apartment and I remember my Dad really loved the hotel when he stayed there, so I made a reservation for two nights and ended up staying for four nights! It was that good. I can't rave enough about the staff. Sal and Mario at the front desk were a so kind and understanding- I knew there were moments where I just wasn't making any sense, but they were patient and intuitive. Everyone at the front desk always greeted me with a warm smile. They were quick to help me whenever I asked for something. The valets, who had to park my car, which was packed with my smoky scented belongings, were attentive and friendly. They never complained about the scent of my car or the fact that it was packed to the hilt with stuff. They found out what had happened, and at that point, they just went above and beyond to make sure my needs were accommodated. They even had a moment to open up a friendly conversation to make sure everything was okay. The hotel, itself, is very clean and very cheerful. It hearkens back to another time, but in a good way! It is fully restored from the original bones, but in a fun, retro silver screen Hollywood sort of way. The pool is a lovely oasis, complete with hanging wicker chairs and comfy chaise lounges. Swingers, a neighborhood favorite diner, is attached to the hotel, so you don't have to go far for a delicious quick bite. I would most certainly stay here again, and probably will. It was worth every single penny.

    I stayed one night. The location is convenient and the room was clean. The bed was comfortable. It is an older building so yes it does need some work but there's a whole lot of charm as a trade-off. There was a $35 additional charge when we got there but the clerk waived it since the elevator wasn't working. We were directed to free self parking at the back of the building but they also had free valet (not counting the tip). I would stay again.

    My mom had a phone like this!

    Because of its location, one can love it or hate it. It's located near a bunch of restaurants, shopping and attractions. Yes, I walked in L.A.! Seemed a 15 minute walk gets you to lots of fun places. There is a neat little pool. Swanky interior of our suite room complete with a round bed! There is a happy face theme here. The pool area has a magnificent rubber tree plant that hugs the bottom floor railings. Friendly front desk staff. Finally, the price seems most reasonable for the location and suite. There are noise reduction windows, but still it's a busy street with lots of cars honking at the intersection by Swingers Diner. Patrons and weirdos cackle loudly at some points. Lots of heavy trucks and busses pass by, too. The check-out time is 11 am.

    Very clean shower

    Fantastically clean and spacious room. I had read some of the reviews and was confused on what to believe. Since I had already booked the room within a 24-hour period I had no recourse but to stay. I was so pleasantly surprised to find that it was a wonderful experience from the bright room with a beautiful view of the pool to the lobby. I have nothing negative to say about this hotel. It was really unexpectedly perfect. I am a real person with a real experience. I'm certain at this point the very negative reviews regarding this hotel are talking about the incorrect hotel. Down the block is a hotel called the Beverly Inn. It is truly a transient motel the Beverly Laurel is almost a vacation resort compared to it.

    Door to your room. Again, leaning room with progressively bigger gap on one end with door fully closed.

Our room felt so thoughtfully designed with a spacious bathroom, a little table, and an unbelievable shower with the best shower pressure and three different settings including a rain shower. Our beds weren't the biggest (full sized not Queen), but we all still slept so well with the plush coziness of it all. The on-site restaurant (San Laurel by Jose Andres) and bar (The Beaudry) were both phenomenal with excellent food, drinks, and service. The gym has great equipment and is kept super clean and organized - they have peloton, peloton rowers, plenty of treadmills, and a decent weight area. They have bottled boxed water, fruit, and a water refill station there as well as complimentary disposable headphones too. The Conrad is a great option for the DTLA area and we can't wait to come back!

I was always welcomed whether it was someone opening the door as I entered or the people at the reception. My flight arrived early and they were accommodating to provide me with an early check in. The elevators are close to the check-in desk and there was never a long wait for the elevator. I had a room with a king bed. The room was adequate in size and the bed was pretty comfortable. The bathroom has a separate walk in shower and separate tub. Where I feel this place is a bit outdated was the lack of USB ports for charging. The desk had an outlet built in but one of the power sources was not working. I had to do some work and needed to plug my laptop into the one working plug. But I also needed my cell phone and wanted to keep it charged. I had to unplug the lamp to use the power supply. There is another plug on the nightstand but that would have meant leaving the phone on the other side of the room and I needed the phone while I was working. But because I had to unplug the lamp, I had to work in the dark (it was evening). I can't remember the last time I was in a hotel room that didn't have USB ports so you could charge your phone at the desk and at the nightstand. I could have called the desk and I'm sure they would have given me another room but I was all settled in. Movies; this is the first time I have been in a hotel of this caliber where you had to pay for movies. Certainly I have been in other hotels where you pay for "some" movies, but not all. Usually there is free Showtime or HBO. No, I didn't travel to watch a movie, but sometimes it's nice when winding down in the evening or to have on in the background when working. They did offer some recent movies and even some that I think are still in theaters. Of course I would expect to pay; but most other top named hotels I would be able to watch movies for free. They do provide the opportunity to log into your Netflix and/or Amazon account.

I was there for a five night stay. First of all, the location is at the edge of Little Tokyo, so there are lots of good eating places. If you feel like taking the Metro rail system to explore Los Angeles, there's a station a couple of blocks away (the E Line will take you west to Santa Monica). Unfortunately, there are a number of homeless that wander around the area, but not too many, especially compared to the Garment District further south. As far as the rooms go, the beds are very firm and comfortable. Air conditioning/temperature control worked well. I was surprised there was no microwave in the room. Just about every hotel has a microwave in every room but not this one. Bathroom was small with only 2 towel hooks; it could have used a couple of towel racks because there was nowhere to hang all the different towels (bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths). WiFi was strong and didn't have to login constantly. Only 3 out of the 4 elevators were working, which made for long waits, especially since the elevator cars were so small. Many of the ice machines were out of order, including our floor (7th), 17, 20, and 21 (construction on 19th). Had to use ice machines on 16 and 18. And there was only an out-of-order sign on the door to the ice machine on the 21st floor after I made a complaint. The parking fee of $49 per day for guests seems excessive, especially when there was a day where the self-parking ran out of space (I think because there was some sort of convention at the hotel) and we couldn't do self-parking. $25 per day would seem more reasonable. The hotel seems to be very popular with tourists, especially those from Japan and Korea who were there to watch a baseball game (Shohei Ohtani is very popular), so it's a bit busy during baseball season. Quite a few tour buses parked out front. And the valet area is very small for pick-ups and drop-offs.

A couple of logistics to know: parking is valet only at the hotel and it was $65, so I recommend finding a smaller, more affordable lot in the surrounding area if you want to save some money. Staff was so friendly and attentive the whole day. There's a QR code you can use to order food and drinks right to your cabana, which was super convenient. It was a hot day and a really nice gentleman kept stopping by to offer extra ice--such a thoughtful detail. Bathrooms are just outside the glass pool enclosure (key card needed for re-entry), but they're large, spotless, and even have showers. The pool itself is big with a separate jacuzzi and you get stellar views of the LA Live area from the rooftop. Watching the sunset from up there was the perfect way to close out our day. We're officially hooked on using JW for our pool days and will definitely be back!

    Really unique hotel. Very responsive staff via text and phone call. I love the aesthetic…read more The vanilla late and the matcha the barista made us during our arrival / check in were incredibly good. That vanilla latte was exploding with flavor, haven't had one that good in years. I am very satisfied with everything. The location, the room design itself and the overall value was incredible. Love this place and hopeful I get to try the restaurant later today if time permits.

    Really 4.5 but rounding it up to five stars. The lowest rating on here is currently at two stars…read moreis not wrong. There are issues. For example, one of the light fixtures in my room didn't work. I also had issues connecting to the Bluetooth speaker as one disgruntled reviewer mentioned, but no problem. I just was able to play music through the TV which I don't know why that reviewer didn't think to do that. Also I was fine just playing music on my iPad. The room in terms of design did not disappoint. I booked this place as a staycation option to get work done and with the minimalistic aesthetic and minimal distractions I was able to accomplish what I sought out . Overall, the mini perks like the free waters, which were brands that I normally purchase as well as the welcome drink helped to make up for the minor issues with the room. It's a boutique hotel . I think if I did paid more, I would be more upset and also expect more but given this price point, during low season it's a fair price . Michael, who was working the reception desk and Café was also very friendly and welcoming, and answered my questions to the best of his ability . Overall, the people that work here are really lovely, especially Kofi and Felix , great job hiring managers! I would book again without hesitation for the right price .

    4.6/5 -- Apparently I Came to Montebello to Sleep, Eat Waffles and Consider Golf…read more Home2 Suites by Hilton -- Montebello, CA Stay: 9/8/26-9/10/26 This was easily the best hotel I stayed at during my Greater LA trip, which surprised me because I arrived expecting "perfectly functional Hilton." Instead, Home2 Suites apparently decided to operate a small republic of comfort next to a golf course. First, the place understands both introverts and extroverts. You can self-check-in and reach your room with minimal human ceremony, or deal with the friendly staff if you actually enjoy speaking to mammals. The lobby is modern, clean and relaxed without looking like somebody hired an interior designer specifically to intimidate people wearing shorts. Across the street is a pond, palm trees, the Montebello golf course and driving range. If you can get a room facing that direction, DO IT. My window view looked like Southern California had briefly cleaned itself up for a brochure. After temperatures hit roughly 104°F, the complimentary shaded underground parking also became less an amenity and more a humanitarian service. My room was huge, clean and unusually comfortable, with a kitchenette, sink, microwave, genuinely large refrigerator and plenty of living space. The bathroom has a sexy minimalist thing going on, with a roomy glass shower. The bed and pillows? Dangerous. I checked in around 3 PM, got comfortable, started watching TV, skipped dinner entirely and eventually fell asleep around 11:30. I had apparently ceased being a tourist and become a house cat. The TV also allows access to streaming options including YouTube, Apple TV and Max-type apps, although the regular television channel selection is fairly basic. Then breakfast happened. Breakfast runs 6-9 AM, criminal hours for civilization, but this was easily the strongest hotel breakfast of my Southern California trip. Eggs, sausage patties, potatoes, pretzel-style breakfast buns, pastries, bagels, cereals, cheeses including Swiss, Pepper Jack and cheddar, yogurt, fruit cups, oatmeal and a small botanical garden of oatmeal toppings: granola, dried banana, cranberries, brown sugar, almonds and coconut. The oatmeal itself deserves recognition because it remained oatmeal rather than hardening into municipal infrastructure. Then there are the waffles. You can construct your own, and apparently surrender all remaining nutritional dignity by applying chocolate chips and red-white-blue sprinkles until breakfast resembles an elementary-school election celebration. Fresh fruit toppings/compotes were available too. Coffee was strong and hot; juices included apple, orange and strawberry-kiwi. I also appreciated seeing both regular milk and oat milk. The breakfast room is attractive and comfortably seats a decent crowd, although mornings can become LOUD. Apparently several guests awaken at 6:30 AM already possessing complete conversational agendas. The gym is legitimately useful rather than the usual hotel punishment chamber containing one treadmill and a dumbbell somebody stole from physical therapy. There are multiple cardio machines, weight equipment and dumbbells reaching about 75 pounds. Very clean and nicely arranged. The indoor pool area was clean, although visually I found the pool itself rather dainty and uncharming. It exists. It contains water. Congress need not investigate further. Now for the deductions. The walls are thin. One neighbor's phone alarm went off around 5 AM. Another apparently believed television should continue into the wee hours. On the opposite side, somebody snored like an overfed cow negotiating a mortgage. One night around 3 AM I also caught the smell of marijuana from outside. That happened only once, but congratulations to the nocturnal skunk delegation. The shower was the other weakness. Water pressure was maybe 6/10, and after roughly ten minutes the floor began backing up because the drain moved with the urgency of California freeway construction. It took around 15 minutes afterward to clear. Yet despite these quirks, I couldn't punish the hotel much. The room was too spacious, the bed too comfortable, breakfast too good, parking too useful, gym too competent and that golf-course view too peaceful. So mathematically I land around 4.6/5, which I'm happily rounding to 5 stars. I would absolutely stay here again. Next time I'm bringing golf clubs because staring at the Montebello course and driving range from my room without playing it started feeling like unfinished business. Home2 Suites Montebello wasn't perfect. It was better than that: comfortable, useful, occasionally ridiculous, surprisingly peaceful and the kind of place that made leaving feel mildly inconvenient. Thanks for a great stay.

    My family and I stayed at Home2 Suites by Hilton LA Montebello for 3 days while we were visiting…read moreSoCal. Our stay landed us on the 6th floor with quite a view. Our room faced the rear of the hotel overlooking the golf course and consisted of the beautiful lake. The room was spacious and clean, and fully equipped with things that make you feel like you're at home: plates, cups, bowls, utensils, + a full sized fridge. Bonus points because complimentary breakfast is offered daily. Hours of operation M-Fri are from 6am-9am. Weekend hours are from 7am-10am. This is absolutely THE BEST complimentary breakfast spread I have ever had the pleasure of taking part in. Granted, most places I've stayed @ doesn't offer this. Here you will find a waffle station with all of the toppings you could imagine, eggs, ham, sausage patties, assortment of cereals, yogurt, fruit cups, and fresh fruit. While I am not sure how great the options are for a vegetarian standpoint but I did notice meatless patties. My complaints: 1)The lighting within the room are positioned horribly. Whether you decide to use the restroom light or the ones located in the dining|kitchen area as a nightlight, they are both extremely bright making it difficult to sleep. My toddler and I struggled to sleep soundly due to us being sensitive sleepers. 2)Someone triggered the fire alarm during our stay. Walking down 6 flights of stairs with a toddler is already tough but adding in groups and groups of other patrons caused for more traffic than I was ready for. Once we made it back to the lobby we were told it was a false alarm. **insert EYE ROLLS emoji** 4 stars overall. Our stay was comfortable and parking was never an issue. Home2 Suites by Hilton LA Montebello comes recommended. I'd stay here again but would probably bring eye masks for myself and my toddler.
