Beverly Inn

You can’t beat this place for the price. Other reviews weren’t so great and I was a little nervous because I read about rude staff and mold. My daughter and I arrived early, too early to check in, but they allowed us to park even though the parking is very limited. Once checked in, our room was clean and mold free. The staff has been very nice and accommodating to us. As I said before, the parking is very limited, but I only had to park on the street for one night, and was able to move the car back into the parking lot before I had to put money in the meter. My only complaint would be there are no coffee machines in the room; you have to go to the front desk for coffee. I would definitely stay here again. It is within walking distance of so many attractions.

For its price, I was willing to let some things go. I mean after all, it was the cheapest. But going through it, I would’ve paid $ 100 more not to experience that again!!!
1. There was a lot of mold in the shower. GROSS
2. It was loud as all hell until 4am! People were drunk n loud in the court yard like it was Las Vegas.
3. When complained to the management, they said they have no control or supervision after 11pm. Wait what??? So after 11pm, inall hell can break loose on your property and you have no control???
4. Sheet covers… GROSSSSSS!!!

As a neighbor of this poorly-​rated establishment, I can tell you that many of the reviews are accurate. The neighborhood is safe and one of the most sought after for the great restaurants, hip stores, cool vibe and proximity to big LA places like The Grove, The Farmers Market, and CBS Studios. You will see famous people buying raw pizza and all-​green juices at Erewhon. I’ve never stayed at the INN because I judge a book by its cover, or a hotel that removes their inground pool for lawn chairs and ashtrays. The family that lives and works there are proof that slavery in America is still in effect. Some reviewers think that because they live and work there that they’re rolling in the money. They’re not. By some greater power, they’re forced to live and work there and probably not given anything but some money to buy cheap Indian food or to make it. I see them watching TV some evenings. Sad!
The Price Is Right, is not only the show that’s ‘recorded in front of a live audience’ right across the street but it’s also the description of this budget hotel in a great neighborhood that’s within the TMZ (thirty-​mile zone). Included in this special price: excellent weather, every day.

For the cost, the location cannot be beat. First, it is totally safe. Second, it is extremely close to CBS studios (next door), neighbors the grove mall, and has abundant restaurant options nearby. My car was safe to park there FREE and the office staff were ALL friendly. To note: The room, amenities, and comfort of the bed were what you would expect from a $ 100 a night room; however, it was definitely an alright stay. Thanks Beverly Inn, especially the night staff person who printed our price is right ticket ;) Very kind.

What a shithole. Beds sag. Smoke detector was ripped out of the ceiling. I booked on the phone and asked if I could get the Internet price of $ 75. The asshole said no go book it online. Really? He was very rude. I booked it over the phone anyways and then the fucker charged me another $ 10. Pillows are paper thin and the room is dirty. I ended up staying because I was going to the price is right across the street. Don’t be cheap like me. Spend the extra money and stay in a clean nice hotel.

I will never stay here again, got in late after being at the hospital all day, the woman at the check in had head phones in and she wouldn’t take them out. At one point she couldn’t head a question I had as I was checking in so she paused her show letting me know she was annoyed. And then didn’t want to give me any information we had to back to get the wifi. We got to the room there were pube like hairs all over our covers we had to take them off. She couldn’t give us an extra pillow for my sister who had a sling on. And she also didn’t want to give us towels. My sister showered and dried off and found brown stuff all over the towel. Then this morning we were blow drying our hair and the fuse went out. As well as there not being any hot water. It was a terrible stay. I do not recommend this place.

I live in L.A., but I needed to leave my home for a night and still be close to work. The Beverly Inn was in the right zip code and sounded like it had all the props. (AC, fridge, microwave, wifi, TV, parking.). The ac sucked. Every few minutes it conked out. I would run the heat at 55 degrees and then kick it over to ac.
The parking made me nervous. Nothing is gated or protected. I live a few miles from here, but my parking is gated and secured. My car could be trashed by tomorrow. Since I have an SUV, my car barely fit.
The fridge and microwave were fully functional. The shower was acceptable. The TV had adequate stations. I was never given the pw for the wifi. As many people have mentioned, the lady in reception is not a happy, welcoming figure. She didn’t volunteer the info, and I wasn’t motivated to visit her again. (I don’t see why anyone needs to be calling her names though. I think she had no choice in working here.). Since I had my own mifi, it was not a problem. There was no problem with noise on a Th. night.
I won’t return again though due to the ac problem. We have been in repeated heat waves for three months with no relief at night. My 15 yr old ac unit still works. This motel needs to fix their units. There is no excuse for broken ac units.

It is illegal to see flies and cockroaches in your room these days. It is also illegal not to smile to customers upon check-​in or out. This place is horrible in the heart of the rich neighborhood in Los Angeles.

My first Unilocal review… I feel badly that it’s not good but must warn people!
I’d like to give this place ½ star or less and rename it «Self Service Motel»! I couldn’t believe the total lack of customer service and lack of human compassion in this prime location «hotel» as listed on
. I booked this place in order to be to be close to CBS studios so that I wouldn’t have far to walk to walk to see a live show at CBS as I’m unable to walk far.
When my 70 year old male friend drove me there from the airport I noticed the outside of the building lacking upkeep. We went into the office for my reserved room with my luggage (I require help) and checked in with the woman at the desk and noted that the office was in disarray.
She gave me a room on the second floor and I asked for help with my luggage to get it upstairs (no rooms available on lower level though I saw no patrons during my stay) and she told me that there was no one to help. My 70 yr old friend assisted even though he had a stroke and I told the woman that he shouldn’t be carrying my 48.8 lb luggage (weighed at the airport) up the stairs. (No elevator). She just shrugged her shoulders.
I was grateful for my friend’s assistance and glad he didn’t get hurt.
When I entered the room I smelled mildew. Yes, saw mildew in the bathroom around the tub… where I was hoping to soak my sore body (from traveling) in the tub.
The next morning I didn’t see any breakfast as advertised but probably just as well as I wouldn’t have trusted any food handling.
I enjoyed my show at CBS that day and returned to the «self service Beverly Inn». I cried because I didn’t see anyone, to include patrons around… to ask to help me get my luggage down the stairs. Rang doorbell and lady came out but unable to help.
That evening I called my son and asked him to come get me as the next morning there was no way to get my luggage down the stairs then take Über as planned.
No Refund! Oh, there’s a large sign on the messy office as a reminder «NO Refund»
This poorly run «Self Service Motel» called the Beverly Inn had no compassion for me or my friend what-​so-​ever…

GREAT LOCATION… DISMAL MOTEL
Wow, the previous reviews by Doug S. and Holee are spot-​on; a pity I did not read them before booking a three-​day stay at the Beverly Inn. The creature that slowly uncoils from the backroom once you have pressed the outside buzzer is, reportedly, a woman, and the aura of unpleasantness she projects is nearly as potent as the wall of stale curry that saturates the small, stuffy office. The unfriendliness in her eyes has the same congeniality as the gaze of a shark, and she was completely unwilling to allow, or even consider an early check-​in, and I’m fairly sure she said no, because one of her few pleasures in life (besides luxuriating in an aura of sweat and curry) is being… unpleasant. As others pointed out, she also flatly refused to provide a second key. I might add that the model of lock and key is also not only obsolete – but in a bad state of repair. Lady, I’m sorry you are fat and ugly, or badly paid (unless you are the owner, or related to the owner, which, given your brazen unfriendliness, is possible)…but I’m not responsible for those conditions. This outfit calculates that their excellent location means that, no matter how shabby the accommodations and service, they will always be able to rent the small number of rooms they offer. Unfortunately, this cynical calculation is mostly correct. OK, so much for the general situation; here are some other facts: room was superficially clean, bed comfort was ok, there was a small refrigerator, a microwave, and an alarm clock. Street noise is perceptible, but not obtrusive. A flat-​screen Visio television of perhaps 30″ was in the room, but suffered from some kind of volume problem. Carpet was dingy and damaged. There is a sink in the room and a separate shower and toilet. Incidentally, one can gauge how incredibly CHEAP the owners of this hotel are by the fact that the toilet seat was repainted – but the last coat of paint was chipping away; it looked crappy. But stop and think for a moment: how much does a new, regular quality toilet seat cost? Very little. And this hotel has maybe 20 rooms, so it would not be a big deal to replace them, but they prefer to pay (and certainly pay very little) for a handyman to repaint the toilet seats with, naturally, cheap paint, because they don’t give a damn about their guests, or their workers, they just want to milk every last possible cent they can.
For visitors with cars, I would strongly advise getting a parking space by 5 pm, because the number of on-​site spaces is small (about ten), and if you park on Spaulding, you risk getting a parking ticket for $ 68. You can probably guess why I know this figure so precisely. It doesn’t seem to matter what the signs say in West LA; the parking Nazis are remorseless – watch out.
If you like things clean and new, this is NOT the motel to stay. But, the location is VERY central, on Beverly and Spaulding, a couple of blocks east of Fairfax, a few blocks south of Melrose, a few blocks north of Farmer’s Market and the Grove.
You can easily walk to Canter’s Deli to have a corned beef and chicken liver sandwich, have a few brewskies at its adjoining bar, the Kibbitz Room, or visit any number of cool eateries and bars. If you walk straight up Spaulding, you will hit the boutique area of Melrose, turn right, and within minutes you can lay out some cash (or some plastic) and be transformed into a hipster, complete with the appropriate tattoos and piercings. If you go south, you can eat a lot of different foods at the Farmer’s Market, or cross the street and go to Trader Joe’s. Incidentally, by California standards, the area around the Beverly Inn is quite safe, and given by how bad traffic and parking in West LA is, the ‘walkability’ of this location is a factor that may allow seasoned travelers to tolerate the many faults of the Beverly Inn.

I had a very positive experience at the Beverly Inn. I was greeted warmly by the kind man at the front desk, and although our exchange was brief he made a nice first impression. The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. The best part of the hotel is the location. Walking distance to the Holocaust Museum (a must!) and the Grove was very convenient. Also, only a $ 5 Über ride to SUR restaurant! I will definitely be back.

The only reason it deserves a star, is because the bed is comfortable and they have a microwave/​mini fridge in the rooms. Other than that, there isn’t much to brag about. It’s a 75 dollar a night hotel, and the money speaks for the room quality. The shower is hardly a shower, heck i think you’d be cleaner standing over the sprinklers. The lady at the front desk is pretty rude as well.

Yes, the lady at the front desk is a humorless, slovenly cunt like other reviews suggest. But if you like Indian food, the smell checking in will tempt your tummy. It is to curry what DoubleTree is to chocolate chip cookies, save they dont give you any.
But a room for 80 bucks in West Hollywood & no fear of being murdered? This place is fantastic. The bed arcs in the middle but so does my posture. Bring tongs to pick up the bedspread. Otherwise, it’s fine to crash and a decent neighborhood.
Great for smokers as there is an interior courtyard with lots of tables and ashtrays. Everyone here seems pretty relaxed and probably Euro-​scum off an ecstasy bender. No issues.
I didnt have a car so fucked if I know about parking. It’s LA. Über has made having a car pointless.
Be sure to tell the front desk pig that she’s an asshole. Just wait til she deserves it. And say it with a smile. She must be used to it by now.

We chose this hotel for the price and location, and met expectations. The room was clean, fine, no issues. The staff was friendly, helping with finding a parking space late at night, appreciated the free parking. I would stay there again next trip to LA, has all the basics covered.

This is not a 5 star resort… nor does it claim to be!
My boss and I were working in LA for a few days and needed a last minute, cheap stay close to the CBS building. (This place is right across the street!) The couple that runs it is super nice and attentive (and hilarious). The rooms are fine. I wouldn’t recommend it for a family vacay or if you plan on staying in the hotel most of your visit, but if you need an inexpensive, convenient place to crash at – this is the spot!

What a dump.

I stayed here for two nights with my boyfriend, only because his friends chose the place. I would have never booked this place myself. I kid you not, I seriously saw a ghost for the first time in my life the first night I was there! I woke up, it hovered at the end of the bed and looked at me. I tried to wake up my boyfriend, he was drunk and asleep, I turn around and it was gone…
The price is very cheap for the location so you get what you pay for. Even in the middle of the day, you have to ring the doorbell to get assistance. The people who run the place live in a room next to the front desk office and they only come out when someone rings. There’s a sign on the wall that says «NO RETURNS»… 2 guests in the room but we were given only one key.
My boyfriend’s friends didn’t even give them a credit card for incidentals, they paid up front by cash and didn’t care about having to check out on time. The room we got was an «upgrade» since they ran out of single bedrooms. There was what his friends called a «safe room» with another full or queen bed and a twin along with the king that was in the main room. It looked like someone had ripped off the «artwork» from the safe room and there was just a frame with glue residue in the middle LOL.
The bathroom shower curtains were brown with one green one that obviously wasn’t part of the set. Surprisingly though, it looked like the toilet seat had been replaced. Unfortunately for my boyfriend’s mates, their toilet seat looked like it had been rubbed off by too many bums haha.
I ended up buying a sleeping bag and pillow at Target to sleep on top of the covers. I chose to sleep on the twin bed at first because I felt like it had the chances of seeing the least «action». The bed was hard as a rock but then I realized that there wasn’t even a mattress on it and I was laying on the foundation! The foundations for all the beds have the plastic left on. The carpet is super dirty. The liner for the garbage bins are shopping/​grocery bags. They just do not give a f*** about anything.
On top of that, me and my boyfriend came back at around 9:30 just to change. We weren’t even talking to each other since I was doing my makeup. The phone rang, I didn’t answer, but it turns out the management wanted to complain about us making noise. The husband confronted my boyfriend downstairs saying that we were waking up his daughter. My boyfriend and him ended up getting into an argument because he was convinced it was us…
The poor cleaning ladies though, they probably do the best they can with what they can do. The place will probably be sold and torn down one day.

I have read all the reviews and all I can say is… What do you expect for the price? We used this as a cheap place to stay when I first moved to LA and was apt hunting and then again when I was in a bind and didn’t have a place to say. For 80 bucks I got a quick place to stay with a great convenient location. Was the customer serve great? NO Were the walls so thin you could here other people’s convos? YES. Was there mold in the bathroom? YES
But I saved money and had a convenient place to stay and I slept fine every time

We booked this hotel because of the pool, location, on site parking and of course, the price.
When we showed up to the hotel, we found out the pool was under construction and hadn’t been available most of the summer (which was not mentioned when I called two weeks earlier to verify the reservation) and the hotel parking was full. We had to park on the street which is metered even on Sundays.
Had we known that 2 of the deciding reason we booked the hotel was not going to be available we would have paid the extra $ 50 a night to stay at the Grafton on Sunset, the Four points, or the Ramada. These hotels are about a mile away, have pools, a parking spot for each room, wifi, and cost about $ 49– $ 70 more a night.
After reading the Unilocal reviews, we knew to expect terrible customer service. Our goal was to check in and never have to speak to hotel staff. Unfortunately, we had to deal with them to ask for parking every other hour. They of course, were pretty annoyed with us (especially the lady, what’s her deal?) and tried to blow us off.
Another vote for poor costumer service.

If you are poor and want to stay in a great location AND wish to study how a LAZY family runs a horrid hotel, THIS is the place!
Some folks call this place the «Price is Right» hotel not because of the value (anywhere else in the country and this place would be 49.99/night) but it’s just because you’re across the street from CBS. Perfect location that is walking distance to the grove, Canter’s deli, and tons of cool cafes on Beverly. Why, you can even go for a jog in Pan Pacific Park!
This hotel exemplifies when a family who runs a hotel gets LAZY. They know they have a killer location and it shows in their apathy. The beds feel like they are from the 1980s, old, uncomfortable, and stinky. The comforters look like they were taken from the set of CSI las vegas. Strip them down unless you want to find bizarre crumbly stuff. DO NOT bring a UV light to this hotel… you will weep openly.
The towels that they offer are slightly higher quality than the one’s coach would give us after soccer practice in the gym. I think you could get better towels at the 99cent store. Seriously.
Don’t believe them when they say: «FREE BREAKFAST.» It’s horrific coffee and wrapped awful cinnamon rolls. This LAZY family is making bank and not putting any of it back into the customer experience.
The place is dingy, and just overall gross. The pool is fit for animals. Perfect size for a dog to swim in. The bars around the pool are creepy.
The nighttime atmosphere consists of guests dragging their chairs out by the pool and smoking, or sitting on the stairs on chatting on cell phones.
The only reason they get two stars is for the fridge, flat screen, and microwave.
Paint is peeling, wall paper is coming off, and the T.P. and towels are awful.
This LAZY and APATHETIC family that runs this place is simply out to make as much money as possible. The LAZY female night attendant is straight out of central casting. Her personality matches the décor: drab, colorless, and depressed. Funny, you’d think with all the money they’re making that she’d have a little pep in her step.
Get it together LAZY FAMILY and clean this place up, I’m so tired of hotels like this getting away with LAZY LAZY LAZY business management.
Have fun pre-​paying for your stay btw.
