Sirtaj – Beverly Hills

Close to Beverly Hills, quiet at night, decent environment. The price is quite reasonable, and there's a Whole Foods nearby.

The basic amenities are all there, but the pictures are misleading. The king-size room is a traditional room without a sofa, and the amenities list doesn't mention one either. The soundproofing is a bit poor; I was given a room right by the stairs and could often hear noise, although thankfully I'm a heavy sleeper. Still, I could hear noise from the adjacent room. There are no toiletries or slippers provided in the room, not even a shower cap. Also, the showerhead isn't detachable. The biggest advantage is definitely the superb location; Rodeo Drive is just a stone's throw away. There were very few staff members. When I was checking out, there was no one at the front desk. If she had been any later, I would have missed my flight. However, I was able to retrieve my lost iPad, which is something I wouldn't feel secure about in the US. That's a definite plus. Considering the price and the location, it's generally acceptable.

Excellent balance of price, location, and facilities. I'd suggest improving the elevator service.

The location is quite affordable. The room was too dark and very compact. They do offer luggage storage. No kettle or water provided, but there is a refrigerator.
