Used to be The Farmers Daughter. Nice remake. I like the service and the vibe. Valet is crazy expensive. Also they are cashless, which is generally fine. However, the only way to tip the cleaners is … cash? For whatever reason, I find this to be offensive. Why do the cleaning staff have to hope that each guest has cash on them?

Location is ideal for those not renting a car. Farmer’s market and the Grove shopping center within walking distance, so is Starbucks for breakfast. Several museums (Motion Pictures, Automobile, County Art, and La Brea tar pit) in the area. Bus to Hollywood or Santa Monica Piers is very inexpensive with Tap card.

What a perfect spot for a quick trip! The rooms are clean and well decorated, staff are lovely and the location is just a short walk to the Fairfax Farmers market where you find the a great selection of restaurants and market foods. Also walking distance to the Grove if you like outdoor malls. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Cute, fun little boutique hotel with nice decor. Came with teen daughter for the close proximity to The Grove. Enjoyed the complimentary coffee in the pretty courtyard each morning. Only downside was the hvac in the room was super loud even on fan mode.
Quiet courtyard is a peaceful place to enjoy the free coffee in the morning!
