Beverly Laurel Hotel

Really liked the idea of the hotel, but really under construction. The room was clean, but very minimalist. Staff were helpful. The location was great, though. Very noisy. Construction workers moving around right outside our door. And temporary access entrance door was open all the time, so it felt a little unsafe.

classic 50's/60's style noisy, hear people talking in the hallway

Hotel staff are great people. The Swingers Cleanliness of bathroom could be improved.

The service and location of this hotel I found to be excellent. Roberto at the front desk was uber helpful and continually generous with his time and assistance. The cleaner, Sylvia was equally welcoming and brilliant... Both allowing me to check in and out an hour in my favour due to early arrival of flight and looked after my bags in reception until my flight home that was at 6pm while I went to Swingers for lunch. For someone who doesn't drive, I found that, being a Londoner and used to walking everywhere, everywhere I needed to get to was accessible providing I allowed enough time and reception booked me a reliable and prompt taxi when needed. Room was clean and had a hairdryer, microwave and fridge which was helpful. Roberto also helped me use the phonecard I bought which I could use from my hotel room phone and meant I wouldn't be charged any additional phone rates by the hotel. Only negative thing really was that the first 2 nights were very noisy. Because of the layout of the hotel, noise carries very easily from one side to the other and with disturbed sleeping patterns from jet lag anyway this proved to be quite difficult. Rest of the stay was perfectly fine though. By no means a luxury hotel but more than substantial for a place to kip and get ready for the day. Big comfy bed too.
