This little hotel is adorable. It's definitely a throwback, with real vintage furniture and fixtures, including marvelous seafoam blue-green carpet and marble countertops. The room we were in was huge and had a nice big window that let in good light. The Aesop soaps in the bathroom were nice. The pool area is really sweet -- it felt very well designed, welcoming, and fun for hanging out. The design of the pool and lobby are funky and unique -- I like that the whole place had character.
It is definitely a bit on the pricier side thanks to extra fees, but you're staying in Beverly Hills, so honestly, we can't be too surprised. Parking "at" the hotel is only valet, and it's $53! Luckily there is quite a bit of street parking nearby if you're willing to walk a block or two. As long as you read and follow the rules closely, you can even find overnight spots that are free. The hotel also had an amenity fee of $28, which they explained was for "water and coffee" in the room. Last time I checked, 2 Aquafinas and 4 Nespresso pods aren't $28, but okayyyyy.
I'd stay here again because of the great location and charming design, plus I love a spacious room and comfy beds. Also, the staff were all nice and friendly.
