They have a small outdoor area in the third floor and it truly doesn't even feel like you're in Los Angeles. The owner, Hedda, is very kind. She has a big heart and warm energy that you'll notice right off the bat. I highly recommend visiting the Treehouse.

Whenever we head to LA to visit my in-laws we stay at a B&B that is within walking distance of…read moretheir home. On this visit however, they were booked for 2 of 3 nights we would be there. I secured the one night with them, but still needed a place for the other two nights. I did some research and after a cost comparison of the hotels in Century City, we decided that The Garden Cottage Bed and Breakfast was the best property for value and our needs. It's about a ten minute drive to the folks, but it's located in a lovely neighborhood. It is within walking distance to the Farmers Market at 3rd and Fairfax, and there are some wonderful restaurants nearby on W 3rd. The property is a duplex built in the 1930s. The B&B is the upper apartment and the garden cottage in the back. The proprietors, Ahuva and Bob, live in the lower unit. The grounds and exterior of the house are well maintained (in keeping with the neighborhood!). The apartment itself is lovely - beautifully furnished with high ceilings, hardwood floors, wool rugs, tile floor bathroom. Since we were the only guests the first night, we had the place to ourselves. We stayed in the Terrace Room. The four poster king sized bed, made up with top quality bedding and a down comforter, was very inviting and comfortable. French doors opened out to a covered terrace that overlooked the garden below and the city skyline. The sound of the fountain was soothing. In the room on a side table was a vase of beautiful flowers, a bowl of fruit, some candy, water carafe and glasses. Our room included a private bath with separate shower and tub. There was a nice selection of natural and organic body soaps and lotions, shampoos and conditioners, as well as other essentials. The living room, dining room and kitchen are the common areas of the apartment. It was easy to curl up in the over-sized couch and peruse one of the books or magazines in the living room. In the kitchen we found supplies to make a cup of tea or coffee. There is also a refrigerator if you want to chill a bottle of wine or two, or stash away some treats. We slept like a log. The following morning, our hosts laid out a beautiful breakfast for us. Coffee, juice, salami, assorted slices of cheese, croissants, bread, butter, jam, and a granola-fruit-yoghurt parfait. Not enough? Have your eggs any way you like - omelet, scrambled, poached - served with a salsa on the side. Everything was freshly made or baked locally, and organic products/ingredients where possible. It was a great jump-start to our day. We got back late that night. As we tiptoed to our room we could hear muffled, friendly chatter but it quickly faded as we drifted off to another great night's sleep. We met the new guests in the morning and had a nice conversation over another stellar breakfast. After they left, we also got ready to check out. Before leaving, we had the opportunity to chat extensively with Ahuva and Bob and learn a little bit about their home and family. Ahuva and I chatted about cooking, something we both have in common. She and I could have talked all day if we both didn't already have other commitments. We felt so welcome by their hospitality that we didn't want to leave. Street parking is easy. Bob gives you a guest residential parking permit to hang in your car during your stay, but mind the signs so you don't park on the wrong side during street sweeping days. The neighborhood is quiet and we felt safe walking around at night. Wifi is available. The connection seemed to be best in the living room, less so in our room. For us, the price of our room for two nights was a better value than staying at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza. Our hosts were warm and friendly and couldn't do enough to make sure we were comfortable. They are on the top of the list of B&Bs to stay in LA.

Hopefully it'll be done soon! For its price point, they really do try to make sure you have a good experience. The breakfast is exactly what you'd expect. There is a tv in the lobby / dining area, but the channel options are extremely limited. (If you want to watch sports, definitely go somewhere else). There are snack options that they sell at the front desk, but I strongly suggest waking to the corner store next door to the property and stocking up there.

The Garland is a boutique hotel that has retro vibes of old Hollywood, maybe from the 60's and…read more70's. The rooms and amenities are all updated however, and if you want to be close to Universal Studios or Studio City in general, this hotel is excellent. They even have a free trolley that runs hourly to/from Universal Studios and a LA bus terminal. Our 3-night stay during Memorial Day was great - comfortable rooms, beds, and friendly service. Rooms had plenty of storage space and charing ports, and wifi is free and fast. They also have an agenda of daily activities like group exercise classes, LA hot dog/taco nights, and classic movies next to the pool. Their main restaurant, Front Yard offers a daily breakfast buffet and ala carte brunch, lunch, and dinner. The only reason for the -1 stars is that their AC is an older, in-wall unit that gets loud when turned on. Outdoor Parking also isn't cheap at $50/night with in/out privileges but that may be typical for the area.

Starting off, when we checked into our room, they had us in a 1 king room, when we had originally…read morerequested a 2 queen room. We had 4 people traveling and 4 people were not going to fit into the 1 king room. When we asked to be switched, they offered us a roll in bed, which was the size of a twin bed, would not fit two adults. When we got up to our room, there was hair on the wall between the shower and the toilet, making us feel like it was not cleaned thoroughly. Our electric car was charging on site and we were running back and forth doing things for the wedding, setting up, etc. No one informed us that there would be an additional charge if we were still parked there after our car was done charging. $58 later and when we mentioned that in our review through the hotel, they said they'd comp our food bill, which was 2 drinks and a fruit bowl, probably $20+. This was disappointing to my mom, who went beyond her means to stay on site for the wedding. This was completely disappointing as we were traveling for a wedding that took place on site. 2 of us were luckily able to stay in the luxury suite which was reserved for the groom get ready room (2 nights). If those stars hadn't aligned, we would not have been able to sleep comfortably in our 1 king room. Also, the suite does not have a microwave in it, we had to request one to be brought up, which I found unconventional. My cousin had their wedding here for how much money my aunt spent between the suite, a bride get ready room, and just the general costs of a wedding, it was disappointing to hear she had a difficult experience here as well. She mentioned that they pulled her away from her son's wedding reception to place her credit card down for incidentals. Why hadn't that happened beforehand? They had her card on file already between all the rooms she booked, so the fact that they took her away from this once in a lifetime experience is ridiculous. She also mentioned that they asked not only for her card info but for her ID. She told them she was not going out of her way to find that when she didn't have it on hand and they were in the middle of celebrating. Needless to say, it was an unfortunate experience this time around. I've been here before and didn't experience the lack of professionalism we experienced this time. The valet service and the staff that supports with luggage were very helpful and kind. It saddens me to have to write such a poor review for such a beautiful place. I have recommended this place to people in the past for general lodging. However, for weddings or any big event, this is not the best of places to host.

It was close to midnight when we arrived in LA, and when we called the place to ask how to get there, our sleepy greeter took us around in circles a few times, but we finally found it! We took a larger room [not the cottage, although it looked like a great place to stay for more privacy] which had sole use of one bathroom, and it was more than adequate for our needs. Sylvester served us a gorgeous breakfast every morning, and made sure we were off with bottled water every time we would leave. His demeanor in the morning was truly a great start to every day, and the breakfast was always fresh and HUUUGE portions! The parking is a bit of a pinch when it's full, as you end up somewhat squished between cars or in someone's way, but it was gated, which was lovely. The Secret Garden is situated right off the Sunset Strip, and very little legwork is needed to get to the heart of West Hollywood. For those who are more ambitious, you can walk into the hills, although it's a pretty steep walk. There are two gorgeous cats who walk around and will come and keep you company in your room, if you wish. :)

They switched me to reservations. She added a second night and I got confirmation. But when I checked in in PERSON they only had me for one night. Another employee figured it all out and I was taken care of. But I had to check in at the front desk on the next morning in person. My room and bathroom were very nice, very clean, very well appointed. The bed was too squishy for ME. That was an issue. The pool looks very nice but you're on Ventura Blvd, just over the wall is traffic 24/7. I was on the 8th floor. I couldn't hear CARS but I could hear sirens and motorcycles. AC control on the wall was cumbersome and took a long time to respond to up and down controls. Restaurant food was good. Employees all very nice. All in all I liked this hotel. I would not say it is a LUXURY or exclusive hotel. It's a bit noisy in the hallways in the morning. I would say it's just below being luxury or exclusive. But nice. Safe, secure.

However, once we started to put in our orders, things got worse. We wanted the caviar service, along with crab claws and we were told that the caviar cart was not open. When i ordered my burger, i was told the frier was not working so there would be no fries. I asked if i could sub the fries for breakfast potatoes and the server said that she could for an extra charge. We had to keep reminding the server about our drinks. Lastly, the last round of froze that we ordered was pure liquid. The drink is called a froze and when the server saw that it was pure melted liquid, she should have known better than to bring it out. I was the only one not drinking so I didn't try it and didn't notice until the girls pointed out that the froze was no longer frozen. When I brought it to the servers attention, she as dismissive and simply said that the machine must be broken so what would we like instead? Finally, we were being harassed by a strange man so some of the girls left and we got up to go into the lounge area indoors. The soon to be bride wanted her picture taken so we were about to take a picture and that's when Diane entered the picture. She rudely walked over and shouted that photos are not allowed. Because she was so rude, I didn't want to upset her so I asked her if we could sit in the lounge (rather than just sitting down without asking) and though she heard me, she just started to walk away. I then said "excuse me. Excuse me, ma'am?" (Yes, the maam was intentional bc she was being rude.) She then turned around and said "if you want to talk to me, you need to come to the hostess stand and talk to me here". I said "is there a problem?" And she said "yes I don't want you shouting at me across the room". Had she not walked away from me as I was speaking to her, i would not have had to say excuse me and called her maam. She then started to argue with me and I simply asked for her name so that I could e-mail someone about this gross behavior. The experience we had today was not what we wanted as the final wrap up for our dear friend who is getting married but we were going to just let it go. Diane intentionally being rude was over the top and unacceptable. In addition, our server had terrible customer service as well. It seems as if customer service is not important at the Chateau which is truly a shame. The only good thing that came out of this experience is that the Restaurant AGM heard about what happened and not only came to talk to me about it but even followed me down to valet to provide me with his business card. While this was a great gesture, Diane and our server today left a terrible taste in our mouth that cannot be overlooked.
