Great little spot for a 1-2 night stay! It's clean, affordable, and in a great walkable neighborhood with tons of good food nearby. The free breakfast was a nice touch mostly prepackaged pastries, boxed orange juice, and Keurig coffee. I appreciated the gesture, though it would be even better with a few fresh options. Parking was probably the biggest challenge, but it's manageable. Most of it is street parking, and the hotel gives you a permit so you can park all day in the 2-hour spots, which was super helpful. Overall, a solid stay if you're looking for a budget-friendly place in a great location! read more

They aren't at all accommodating if you have an emergency situation and need to cancel your reservation. Avoid at all costs.

I needed a last minute hotel due to my mom's surgery time early in the morning at Cedar's. It was about 6 minute drive to the hospital. Parking required a permit which they provided to put on your dash. I was able to find parking at night. There are two entrances to go in. The front desk was very helpful. They have breakfast in the morning from 7 AM to 10 AM. They used normal key for each room. Room was fairly clean except I felt that it wasn't vacuumed fully on the floors. The bathroom had a wad of tissue on top of the brand new roll on the toilet. Besides that, everything was great! There is a small fridge in the room. read more

We choose this hotel for it's proximity to the brazilian consulate and la brea. The man who checked us in was very sweet and helpful. The room looked and smelled so clean that we have added this place to our list of definitely will stay in again! You park on the street with a guest parking pass and are pretty close to the auto museum as well. They provide coffee and water all hours and breakfast from 7-10am. Thanks for accommodating us! read more

Quiet hotel with clean rooms. Hotel is located in a nice neighborhood and conveniently located next to restaurants and public transit! The customer service is also great! There is complimentary breakfast served from 7am! Hotel also provides complimentary WiFi and toiletries! There is a luggage rack, walk in closet and ironing amenities in the room as well! There is a vending machine on site Only issues here are: $50 deposit required at check in! NO laundry room! NO fitness center! NO swimming pool! NO microwave in the room! Hotel uses traditional key instead of digital key! read more

I had an appointment in LA at an ungodly hour of the morning, so we booked this place to stay the night before to avoid the nightmare of rush-hour traffic. Having booked at a different hotel a few weeks ago that was a nightmare, I was nervous about the location and what I was getting into. I have to say that we pulled up to a lovely neighborhood and we were pleasantly surprised. Check-in was quick and easy. They gave us an actual key. I haven't had one of those in years. I'm so used to key cards that you swipe with electronic doors. Heck, I got even a little bit nervous about the possibility of losing this actual key. We booked a room with a double queen bed because we had our kids with us. The room was much larger than expected, and even had a small table with two chairs for eating. As we like to bring snacks, I liked that there was a mini fridge in the room. The towels were good quality in the bathroom and for once the body wash was actually good. I always like to bring my own, but I tested theirs out. Parking was definitely a bit of a nightmare. Because there is no dedicated parking you're giving a paper permit to put onto your windshield and good luck to you. While we were able to find parking, we were reminded by the desk attendant that the next day was street cleaning and so the car needed to be moved by 9 AM. Again, not a problem since I had that early morning appointment but that could be a pain if we needed to stay longer. I'm not a coffee or breakfast person, but we swung by in the morning just before 7 AM and the spread was already laid out. My son grabbed a yogurt and my daughter grabbed pre-packaged muffins. I would definitely recommend this hotel without reservation. It isn't high luxury, but it's comfortable and not shady. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Wilshire Crest Hotel. It was the perfect location from my Cousin's. I was in the middle of everything. Walking distance to The Grove. I was able to walk through La Brea Tar Pits museum every morning. Definitely coming back!! Great price and I felt safe. No elevator. Yes WiFi. read more

Overall a 3.5. The rooms are smaller than they appear in pictures. We had a double queen bed. The place was clean. They do daily maid service so your beds are made well. The electrical outlets are not well located. We had to push my bed away to get to the outlet with my power strip. Their outlets are located in the most inconvenient place. Although there was no elevator, the front desk people helped me with my bags. Breakfast was brought to your room daily. Some chobani yogurt, banana and prepackaged goodies (biscotti, brownie or sweet cake). It would have been nice to have a fresher buffet breakfast like in the pictures. Although they don't have a parking lot, they give you permits to use for street parking. Use day 1 & day 2 in your dashboard, b/c at midnight, it is considered the next day. They charge a $50 sec deposit. But cancel it when you check out. You have to return your parking permits b4 you leave. They were very very good with towel service. Everyday we had our towels replaced. We even tried to hide them in our closets b/c we wanted to save on water / laundry. But they were nice enough to give us fresh towels. If you have knee problems, ask for a 1st floor room. Lobby is pretty quaint. But late at night when I was trying to do work on my laptop a rowdy drunk couple kept fighting and wanting me to get in on the insults. Made me want to go back up to my room. Overall a safe stay. There are plenty of restaurants within 1-2 blocks, walking distance. Neighborhood is safe, I took a 20 minute walk after dinner. For the price, it's a good value. We chose this because it was so close to our CCIM class. 1 minute by car, 9 minutes walking. They have real keys, for the rooms. Very old school. But charming. read more

Wonderful hotel in every way. Great central location. Reasonably priced. Helpful staff. Nice breakfast spread every day - kosher and vegetarian. Nothing hot or fancy, but enough. Very nice and comfortable room. Terrific bed; good shower; very clean hotel. Felt safe staying there alone. read more

We enjoyed our stay there. A very good location, only five minutes from Cedars/Sinai, one block off Wilshire, lots of restaurants nearby, art museum and LaBrea Tar Pits about three blocks away. The hotel is a small place est. around 1950. It has been kept upgraded. Large room with faux marble bathroom. Very clean throughout. The bedding and towels are top quality. Unfortunately, the walls are thin and the mattress is on the hard side. Free coffee, juice and pastries. Free street parking. They provide parking permits to park in no parking zone out front. read more

Last time I stayed here was in 2012 and 2013. It certainly is the same in terms of the Customer Service. Same people, same attitude, but I was much younger and I guess those days you put up with a little more snottiness in people. It really starts at the top and people should remember that in businesses. If the employees are rude, then chances are, the ownership is also rude and snobby. During my years in college, I worked at hotels so I know about Customer Service, attitudes and treating people the way you want to be treated. Through the years I have referred dozens and dozens of people to this hotel. I will no longer be doing that. I think it's attitude check time. read more

Like the other 1-2 star reviews, I really do not know how this hotel is getting good reviews on cleanliness. I don't think I've ever given a review under 4 stars for any establishment, but this was not a clean hotel at all. Sure, the bed was made, but I kept finding hair, dirt, and dead bugs in the bed or in the mattress sheets. Really, there wasn't a single item on the bed without multiple strands of hair on it, including the pillows. When I asked for a new set of sheets, the cleaning staff kept repeating "clean!" at me until the front desk staff called me back and just gave me a new room--really appreciated his great attitude and quick help to the problem. Unfortunately, the second room had the same issue with hair and dirt in the bedding and the towels also had stains/hair on it. Maybe some of the cleaning staff are more thorough than others if most folks found the place to be okay? I've regularly stayed in motels and the cheapest airbnb options available in an area so I don't think my standards are too high--all I'm looking for is a clean bed to sleep in and a functioning sink; this definitely was not it especially at almost $200. Just shell out for a better hotel or stay in a less pricey part of town. read more

Arrived for check in at 5PM, got checked in and asked for my parking pass. (per the hotel - Parking is on the street, by permit. Street parking permit is given to guests upon hotel check-in). James at the front desk informed me they had run out of passes since they had a large group check in. He stated that I would have to find street parking in a nearby neighborhood. An inconvenience, since the booking made it sound like every guest would get a permit. Went to our room, and immediately noticed it was wrong. We booked a room with two beds, since we had 3 total guests. The room given to us was a single twin size bed. Went back to speak with James who informed me there are no other rooms left due to the large group that checked in. He said that he could bring a rollaway bed to the room, which he did. It was very uncomfortable but I was out of options. Asked to speak with his manager since I was upset over the room being incorrect and the lack of parking. He informed me that the manager "Ross" would be in the next day. The next day I went to speak with Ross, who told me he is not the manager and there is nothing he could do to help. Said I would have to speak with the manager Aaron, who was currently in New York. Long story short, no one at the hotel seemed to really take ownership of the issues or really care about the hotels shortcoming. Nothing was offered in compensation. I would definitely avoid staying here in the future, its just not worth it for such poor customer service. read more

My children and I stayed at Wilshire Crest Hotel during Labor Day weekend. The room was very big, the 2 queen beds were super comfy. However, the room was so dirty, the floor was super dirty, no-one cleaned the room at all, coffee pot was so nasty, very dusty. It was a hard wood floor room, no carpet. No ice bucket in the room at all. The room floor, bathroom was so dirty, yucky that we had to wear shoes, crocs in the room and out of shower, etc. We also found couple of flies and mosquitos in the room. Street parking only, it can be a pain, busy street so be prepared. The staff at front desk was very nice. The complimentary breakfast only serve with cold breakfast (muffin, yogurt, etc) no hot breakfast like eggs, waffles, etc. I still definitely will] come back due to its good location, good price and great customer service. But hopefully the room floor will be more clean next time, cleaner room with no flies, no mosquitos and come with ice bucket in the room. read more

Small, cozy and a bit of an old fashioned hotel. It's located in the outskirts of Beverly Hills. Good place if you need to crash for a night or two but not a place you might wanna hang out at as there is nothing special or unique about it. I believe they are renovating it at the moment. Great maid service & nice breakfast package. Downside is there is only street parking, so if you don't get lucky, it might be a walk... read more

If I could give this hotel a zero I would. I don't usually complain about establishments but our room was extremely dirty, it looked like there was dried blood on the floor and there were used band-aids and water bottles under the bed. After letting the front desk clerk know about the potential health hazard, we asked if there were custodians on-site and were told no, so we asked for a clean room and were told the hotel was fully booked. So we asked for a refund, and magically they had an extra room available for us. At that point we were too grossed out to stay so we ended up leaving 20 minutes after arriving and were denied a refund. After requesting a refund through Priceline, they stated the hotel denied the refund and I would have to call the hotel directly. The clerk let me know that the manager would be out for 2 weeks due to the holiday, and said our request wouldn't be handled until then. I let them know our issue and the clerk tried to get loud with me over the phone stating we couldn't get a refund because we were offered a new room. I don't think I've ever had a hotel clerk yell at me, but there's a first time for everything! I'm not a Karen, but do not waste your money here. read more

It's a clean and basic hotel stay. Nicer than a motel and more affordable than most hotels. Good value. We stayed here for a quick overnight LA trip to visit museums. The room was comfortable and clean, front desk staff were efficient and nice. Parking is free but a bit of a pain (only street parking available). Be advised there is no elevator, so if you are given a 2nd floor room, you'll be taking your bags up a flight of stairs. Rooms are equipped with a mini-fridge, and there is a microwave you can use in the shared breakfast area. We ordered food delivery, and I met the delivery person outside so they wouldn't have to circle around and find parking or park illegally. read more

Wilshire Crest reminds me of many hotels I've stayed at in England. Especially considering it is located in Southern California, there is something uniquely English about the place. The furniture is older and doesn't seem to match. But everything is clean and comfortable. My room was large. For the most part, there were not any noise issues. The AC worked very well. This is a basic place. My room had a flat screen tv and cable but I did not use it. There is free wireless but the signal wasn't very strong. I could not consistently maintain a Netflix stream, http://tinyurl.com/3w73huy Continental Breakfast is included but I did not try it. The staff was friendly. The location is close to the Farmer's Market, The Grove, and the CBS Studios. While my room had a private washroom, I am not sure this is the case for all rooms. While, this is a no-frills hotel. It is a great bargain. If you are coming to LA, I would feel confident in suggesting Wilshire Crest as a place to stay. read more

Once my location and price range has been decided, the next think I look for in a hotel on Yelp is cleanliness (search terms: bugs, clean, dirty, mold). As of 9/2020, this hotel had no mentions of bed bugs. That's great. I assume they aren't there because they don't like smoke. My stale, stuffy room (#209) smelled of cigarettes (as does the entrance). However, Leticia in 2015 said "the room smelled nice and clean" and Stephanie wrote "I didn't smell smoke" (2017), so it depends on the room, or perhaps the past tenant. I think my past tenant was Marge Simpson's sisters. **Bottom line: superficially clean yet stale. I also search noisiness (search terms: noise, walls, street). The street noise wasn't bad in the back. I had a corner unit so I only heard a few TVs when their doors opened. I also heard a dog barking, which was annoying because someone pulled the ol' "this is my therapy dog- I need him because CSI makes me anxious". Mark (2018) "didn't hear any neighbors or music or traffic." But others disagree: "very noisy. I could hear what neighbors on both sides were saying" (Brigida 2019), "could hear people talking and I think they were whispering"(Leticia 2016), "could hear toilets flushing, people talking, and footsteps above us" (D.B. 2017), "noise in the early morning if you have the room right in front" (Gregor 2013), and "I could tell you what our neighbors were watching, when they were showering, when they left" (Samantha 2017). I felt bad because nine of ten steps I took made a creak. **Bottom line: peaceful enough, at least on the top floor, in the back, midweek. After determining cleanliness and noise, I search wifi, parking, and front desk for red flags. Wifi: "hard to get connection" (Sarah 2015) and "pretty crappy"Mage 2015), but "runs at a good pace" (Leticia 2016). **Bottom line: I got on quickly and it worked from the back of the hotel to the front lobby. Even though they have a very convenient check-in curb, many people had issues with parking: "a nightmare, 40 minutes at 2am to find parking 3 blocks away and had to move before 7am" (Tom 2019), "hunt for parking...had to move by 8am" (Laura 2013), "complicated" (Ness 2015), "odd" (Mage 2015), "an issue...ended up about 2 blocks away" (A.B. 2016), "trolling for parking is utterly disheartening" (Allan 2014), and "-1 star" (AJ 2015). However, as Life is a Journey (2020), Marie (2018), Kalsang and Kuma (2016), Cynthia, Erica and Bryan (2014), and Couple o Critics (2013) stated, parking is free and it's rare to have a hotel off it. In fact, the manager helped Kelli parallel park (2014) and paid a street sweeping ticket for Janine (2017). **Bottom line: If you're from LA, you know free parking (no matter the inconvenience) is a good way to avoid $20 and up a night. The help the managers gave leads to "front desk". Although I wish the guys would smoke further away from the front door (and outside area), they were pretty accommodating and nice. One helped me with a billing issue. Though six reviews bad-mouthed the managers, they were left by faceless Yelpers, which I don't count. **Bottom line: helpful, friendly, responsive managers. Location: Quick walk to Petersen Car Museum, LACMA, and a nice variety of restaurants (from swanky to McDonalds), including my favorite place for pho. Manageable walk to the Grove and Farmers Market. On a clean row of apartments in the shadows of the high rises of Wilshire. **Bottom line: excellent, despite some unavoidable street trash on the major streets Drawbacks: old and creaky, perhaps a bit stale, and potentially noisy depending on room location and time of week. Fine water pressure. My bed (#209) was hard and springy. Bonuses: location, free parking (though potentially problematic), an actual metal key, a/c, fridge, spacious lobbies (inside and out), free breakfast, loved the scented shampoo, and actual doorknob (a wedged chair is a good alternative to the lack of deadbolt) read more

We enjoyed our stay here. It was very quiet and nice. We loved how there was a breakfast bag by our door early in the morning. The only thing I have negative to say is our room could've been cleaner. The coffee pot looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a awhile and the floor felt like it hadn't been mopped or swept. I dropped a piece of clothing and it was full of dust bunnies. Other than that I think it's a cute little place to relax. I would still recommend. read more

DO NOT STAY HERE! This hotel is not located in a safe area of Beverly Hills. Last week after a late flight, I arrived at the hotel around 2:30 a.m. There were transients in the adjacent alley and suspicious activity across the street. I didn't feel safe, and in place of no parking at the hotel, I didn't feel comfortable walking any distance. Immediately I called the hotel clerk to cancel my reservation and requested a refund. The hotel clerk informed me that I would need to contact Priceline, where I booked the reservation. This was false and incorrect information. Priceline told me that I would need to contact the hotel directly if the hotel gave a refund. Upon speaking via email with the hotel manager, I was informed that there would be no refunds. Really? Really? When didn't I feel physically safe? It was 2:30 in the morning, and I wanted to sleep. Do you think I tried to locate another hotel at 2:30 In the morning? So, I need to pay 964.00 when The Wilshire didn't render services, and the chances are that the rooms were booked after my cancellation and the hotel doubled their money. Ouch! Don't Stay Here! I repeat, Don't Stay Here! read more

This is a quaint hotel sitting at the corner of a well kept and quiet neighborhood just under 15 minutes from Beverly Hills. Management is always so kind and helpful. The old office setting is extremely efficient. You are checked in quickly and given a real key to your apartment like hotel room. In addition to the convenient location, I really appreciated the nice gesture of the brown bag breakfast and energy kit, each guest will find at their front door. Very thoughtful. I stay at 5 star over priced hotels all of the time, and after paying high dollar, you rarely get a parking ticket validated, so I really appreciate the complimentary parking tags they issue along with the thoughtful breakfast pack. This is a must stay. You may smell a little flower, but that's pretty much everywhere nowadays. I will always stay here at least one night when I visit Los Angeles. Tricia Santopinto read more

Well not a review I usually like to write! Not happy with my stay...I work and travel quite often to know if I'm spending $200 for a room it should be ok... Smelly Dirty room and mold all over the shower curtain and shower. I wasn't informed that parking was a nightmare even with a parking permit I drove for 40 min at 2am to finally find a parking 3 blocks , 1 Mile away that I had to move before 7am... I wish the clerk at the front desk would have pointed that out! read more

My son and I stayed for 6 nights in this friendly, clean, and conveniently located boutique hotel. Every day we were greeted by name and also met many people from all over the world over the free continental breakfast/Keurig coffee served every day. Our room had the most comfortable linens and mattresses. The shower and toiletries are amazing. We love that there was a mini fridge and coffee maker in our room as well. We actually want to stay longer! The neighborhood is lovely and within walking distance of LACMA, La Brea Tar Pits, Peterson Automotive Museum, Academy of Motion Pictures Museum, The Contemporary Craft museum, and outstanding food everywhere but especially at the corner one block away at Wilshire at Uovo. Not too far away also is the Historical Farmers Market. We have already recommended this hotel to our Family and a friend who lives locally in this neighborhood who may have family visiting soon. We will be back again soon for sure. Thank you read more

Very basic hotel. The price was good. Recently updated. It's on a nice strollable street. No parking lot but had no trouble with street parking. They give you a permit. My only issue is how hard the beds are. It was like sleeping on a very hard board. They give you plenty of bedding. The air conditioner/heater is great. The windows open for air. It could have been slightly more clean. Really there are no problems except if I ever stayed there again, it would need a less hard mattress and a mopping or wet swiffering. Please! If you want a small neighborhood hotel, I recommend this one. read more

I am not sure how this hotel is getting these good reviews. Let me go into details about my first and last experience with this hotel. The Good: - Outside looks nice. The Bad: - The guy at the front was no help. - My bed sheets and pillow cases had hair and dirt as if the room was never cleaned before I arrived. - The guy at the front desk didn't do anything after I showed him the hair and dirt on my bed. He told me the other bed looked cleaned and to sleep there. - I slept with my clothes on because both beds were slept in and sheets were not changed. - The shower has glass square blocks for a window that exposes you from the outside, so shower in the dark. - They use metal keys not cards. - The A/C didn't work and it was really warm. - Everything is outdated and smelly in the rooms. - The headboard on the bed bangs against the wall when tossing and turning on the hard bed. For $169 a night I would expect better. This is more of a dump motel then a hotel with off street parking. read more

Most hotels actually have parking; this one doesn't. Most are quiet; maybe my room is the exception. Most hotels have functional wifi, things like that, but to return after a long day to troll like an idiot for parking is somewhere between utterly disheartening and falsely pretending to be a hotel. If I was close enough to walk over, that would mean that I live here and don't need a hotel. Ah, but you've suckered me in a pre-pay now, haven't you? I hope you appreciate this victory, Wilshire Crest. read more

This is a great place to stay at. I love the old architecture of the place with fully renovated rooms, bathrooms especially are lovely and modern and absolutely pristine, beds are so comfortable and the room in general is clean and spacious. Ross at the front desk is kind and attentive, he helped us out Ubering a package that arrived after we checked out and had it delivered at the airport before our flight. I'll never forget that gesture and we'll return and stay at the Wilshire Crest any time we are in town. Location is incredible and neighborhood is safe and residential. 100% recommend this little gem of a hotel. read more

This hotel is not in a safe place, only has parking on the street where there were no places on the block and your car must be moved by 8:30 am. The room was nicely remodeled, the beds were somewhat comfortable, the bathroom was really beautiful. The room wasn't clean as there were hairs on the bed and floor and it didn't look like the bathroom floor had been cleaned. The AC and heat seemed to work ok. The breakfast was a small bag left outside with a few pastries (that were awful) and a banana and yogurt. No coffee or way to make some. It was definitely not worth the money. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The reason I stayed here was my sister was at Cedars Sinai Hospital and it was on their list of where to stay near the hospital. They were very wrong. read more

Looked all over the internets for a hotel with room available on a Saturday night near El Rey Theater. It's not easy with short notice. But found something that looked decent and was only 1 mile away. Fisrt didn't know what to make of it because it looks like another apartment building mixed in with other buildings. Just this one has several flags of the world on there. The guy at the desk had some paperwork to sign and it appeared to by typed in on a form. With a typewriter! In 2018. Shocking. I was kind of worried since they told me they could help me try to find a parking space outside on the street. I was thinking they had some hidden structure behind the place. But no. You are truly on your own as far as street parking. The place is rather old, but the rooms, lobby, and front area have been renovated. Nice bathrooms, clean room, decent bed, plenty of space. I expected it to be really loud, but no. Didn't hear any neighbors or music or traffic. All pleasant. Plus the continental breakfast was still going even though we got there an hour late. Not bad. Plus it's obvious it's not owned by some giant evil corporation. Not sure if it's mom and pops. But if so, time to support them. Wish they had a pool and Jacuzzi. But overall nice place. read more

When family comes to visit, you play tourist.....and several of the things we wanted to do were within a short distance of the Wilshire Crest Hotel. It had some great reviews (and some not so great), so we took a chance. The first thing I was concerned about was the parking. We arrived late afternoon, just as a large SUV was pulling out of a parking spot half a block away. (Score!) The street sign mentioned limited parking hours, but we were able to get an extended parking pass when we checked in. The hotel is in a nice, quiet neighborhood just a block from some restaurants and shops on Wilshire. The hotel has two sections; the one facing Crescent Heights probably gets some street noise. We were in the other section, facing the courtyard. Our room was very, very clean and comfortable. The shower was huge, there were two sinks, a mini-fridge, an ironing board/iron, a sitting area, two beds, and a nice TV. The bedding was spotless and the beds were very comfortable. On the downside, the walls were thin and we could hear toilets flushing, people talking, and footsteps above us. The hotel is not in a 'party' district, and most of the noise subsided well before midnight. The other negative for me is that the door did not have a deadbolt or a peep hole. It was the standard lock on the knob, plus the horizontal security lock. I prefer a deadbolt, but given the thin doors, a deadbolt would not have made much of a difference. Overall, we had no complaints! It was a very safe area, a clean hotel, and the employees were professional. read more

Wilshire Crest Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is not a fancy hotel (as you can tell from people's pictures and reviews) but not a bad hotel. Old but clean hotel. having an actual metal key for your room and street parking with a permit (hotel provides) are something you don't get from other hotels. Hey, this is Los Angeles, CA and is a nice location (from my perspective)! Here are summary of this hotel: - Location: Closer to LACMA and McDonald (and other fast food restaurants). - With this price (slightly less or over $200 USD): free parking and simple breakfast are included - Room: Spacious and clean. It has a large flat screen TV, coffee maker, refrigerator but there is NO hair dryer. Main street is right outside of my window and pretty loud car sound even at night - Parking: You will need to get a parking permit from the front desk and display in on your dash (also need to return it to the front desk when you check out). Finding a street parking is "very" hard but you will find one eventually. Giving a free parking space in that area, I don't complain but be sure to take out any valuable possessions (even non-valuable possessions you should not leave in the car where they are visible). - Service: Friendly as what you pay for. I traveled with two little kids and I will definitely consider stay here again (mainly for the location and just for a night or two). read more

This past weekend my boyfriend booked us a room here for our vacation. If you are looking for a place to stay in LA and think that the price point is going to warrant you an upgrade to a chain motel, DON'T. You are paying this much because they know they can get away with it. They have no parking. Granted, I'm from a city with terrible parking, but, if the occasional option for your patrons is to have to park at least two blocks away, don't advertise "free parking". It's misleading. Let me tell you now about Room 121. I don't know if we were unlucky in the selection or this is the norm, but Room 121 almost made my boyfriend and I break up because of how awful it was. The toilet did not flush all the way. Potty jokes aside, and low-flow defendants recognized, it did not flush. After I used the restroom, I told my boyfriend the toilet didn't flush. After he used it for himself and realized the same issue, he went to alert the manager. (Pfff, men, am I right?) The manager sent him back with a plunger. And despite my handy and attractive boyfriend's efforts, the toilet still didn't flush. He asked for a different room and we were denied. The manager came back again with a snake to try and fix the toilet. He barely got it functional and decided that was good enough. My boyfriend and I would have liked to relax in bed and watch the 90's film classic Jurassic Park on Spike, but the TV is miles away from the bed and has the tiniest screen. With all the money they saved on plumbing they should really upgrade their other amenities. The next day, my adoring boyfriend attempted to solve our toilet crisis again as we were forced to go potty at the other end of the hotel all day. This employee was slightly more helpful while still, amazingly, not solving our problem at all. I know that LA property must cost a pretty penny but if you're gonna build a hotel either invest in some sound proof insulation or try not to be the loudest people ever. Every morning I could tell you what our neighbors were watching, when our neighbors were showering, when it was time for them to hit up the continental breakfast, or when the maids were vacuuming their room. Pros: A single-bed unit is very spacious if you plan on needing an area to sit and think about how awful your lodging choices were. Cons: The fact that it was almost $200 a night to live in what felt like section 8 housing. read more

This is a unique, sweet little hotel in Crescent Heights from another era. The rooms are large, the bed is comfortable and your basics are covered for a very reasonable price. Also, it's central location is great for getting to Silverlake, Valley Village or Santa Monica in under 30 minutes (depending on traffic, of course). Lots of great spots close by, aside from The Grove, including Andante Coffee, West Third, etc, for your daily needs. read more

This hotel is a great find! We love the location! It has so many things to do nearby. Situated in a quaint, safe neighborhood that's quiet at night. The rooms are very clean and spacious. The staff is incredibly nice. Continental breakfast was average fare. The hotel does not have parking but gives you a pass to park on the street. At night when the streets are lined with cars, you are able to park in the Wells Fargo lot across the street until 8:30 a.m. Not a problem for us at all. I'd stay here again without hesitation. read more

Great hotel in the heart of a great Wishire district. Very close to lots to see and do AND eat. Very boutique. Nice guy running the place and very accommodating. If you're not use to LA or street parking in general, you might be disappointed there is no parking lot, only residential street parking. But it's well worth the overall value to stay here anyways. The free continental breakfast was better than most. Our bed was on the firmer side but that's how we like them. Very quiet and safe area. Nice Art Deco architecture in the rooms. read more
