Carlyle Inn

more like an old budget motel than a proper hotel

Pros: Location Cons: Very dated and disappointing for the price. The room was extremely stuffy, and the windows do not open, so I had to leave the door ajar just to get some fresh air. I woke up feeling sticky and uncomfortable, like I needed a shower immediately. The carpets were old, and the room had a strong stale, sweaty smell. I paid $$$ expecting at least a basic, clean, comfortable hotel room, but the overall condition felt much closer to an aging budget motel. Definitely not what I expected at this price point.

Posizione

Value stay in great location in Beverly Hills close to excellent restaurants and cafes.

Pros: The hotel is in an excellent location, close to many good restaurants/cafes, and a reasonable 30-40min walk to Rodeo Drive and/or Grove. The rooms are spacious, and the living/sleeping area is very funky and modern, with an updated bathroom. I booked 4 rooms as I was travelling with friends, and 2 of the guests were selected as guests of the day to receive an upgrade. Rabbit Coffee is about a 5-minute walk away, which is a hole-in-the-wall cafe run by an ex-Aussie who makes excellent coffee for those who like more Australian-style coffees. Cons: Whilst manageable and the area is

Pros: Location Cons: No service

Not great, wouldn't recommend the small rooms

We had a tiny room with no window, no sir ventilation at all. It smelled weird. There was no safe in the room even though we were told all the rooms have safes. They did not offer to bring us a safe when we requested one. The hot water took a long time to heat up and the bathroom lights kept going on and off even when someone was in the bathroom. The only good part of the hotel is the outdoor space, especially the covered couches. They were a great place to sleep when the room was too stuffy and smelly.
