BEVONSHIRE LODGE MOTEL

The hotel was under renovation, which isn't a problem for me, but 1 - it smelt like cigarettes, 2 - the sheets had a stain. I asked for new sheets and it still had a stain. I was willing to let all that pass until 3 - we came back at night and found a cockroach. We had to sleep with the lights on and put our bags back in the car
I complained about it the next morning and he did not seem to care.

If you are used to staying at 3 and 4 star hotels, this may not be the place for you. IF, however, you are not fussy and don't wish to pay $300-800 per NIGHT to be in Beverly Hills or Century City, this might be THE option for you. My stay cost under $100, and the parking was free. There seem to be a ton of security cameras all over the property, so I was only a little worried about parking off the back alley. I believe parking may incur a charge in the future once renovations are complete.

The building is old but, as of this review, they are clearly working on renovations. The outside of the building, viewed from the small courtyard, looks pretty good. First impression of the room was not bad. BIG space, fridge, king bed, table, etc... Bathroom, especially the bathtub and shower-head, is seriously worn and needs replacement - but it works. Hot water was almost instant. Great water pressure. There are building materials staged in the courtyard, so more work should be happening soon.

Yes, there is traffic noise, especially in the morning. If you are here on business, you'll probably need to be up by the time the noise becomes noticeable anyway.

Très décevant même à ce prix plutôt bas pour le centre de LA...
Pas de service de chambre en 3 jours, électroménager pas propre du tout, pas de porte entre les toilettes et la chambre... très inconfortable quand on est 2
Prises électriques mal placées, pas de voulant dans toutes, manque d'équipement (pas de pose-valise, pas de lumière de chevet etc)
Par dessus tout, bruyant... et ça ne vient pas de la ville mais du personnel le matin...

DO NOT STAY HERE! Booked rooms through Expedia and confirmed with motel. Neither mentioned extremely loud construction. Literally like staying at a construction site. Dirty carpet and dirty rooms. Owners acted as if it was acceptable to charge full price for the noise. Construction materials sat in the courtyard. A serious nightmare.

Best example of pay for what you get. Cheap and nasty, the aircon sounded like a jet engine. The renovations were noisy. But it's a bed with good proximity to Hollywood. So it did its job.
Most probably, I would not stay here again.
