The Carlyle Inn

We felt very welcomed by the staff (including Mason & Joseph at the front desk and also Jessica who made us "guest of the day," which included a free room upgrade). ||Our "executive king" room was attractive and spotlessly clean, with a comfortable bed, good-sized bathroom, coffee maker, desk, etc. and enough lighting and storage. Felt private, safe, and quiet. Parking in the garage provided was no problem. The building is nicely designed, and when the work on the courtyard is completed that should be even nicer. The location is convenient with lots of restaurants nearby (including two for which the inn gave us breakfast discounts). The lobby offers snacks and good coffee, too. We only stayed overnight (just in the area for a family event), but we would happily return.||Note: I was surprised to read some of the more negative reviews that seemed to be based on unrealistic expectations about the cost of lodging in LA and the activity level of an urban location. We have no complaints!

The staff is very friendly and helpful, providing for all my needs and requests. Jessica wrote a very nice note for my arrival as the guest of the day. She always has a big smile. I forget the name of the guy that is on evenings: he is always welcoming me when I leave or return at night. The rooms do require a little maintenance. The hot water facet does not stop, so you must feel for the off position. I do not like the change to only one switch for for the bathroom lights and fan. I like to leave a bathroom light on at night and it is noisy to have the fan on. There should be at least one light in the bathroom that is on its own switch. The location for me is excellent since I am going across the street and my friends are in the neighborhood.

María and Desiree went the extra mile to assist me. Everything was explained to me very clearly about how the hotel works. The outdoor patio was lovely. The room was quiet and clean and fit my needs perfectly. The price was reasonable. The location was very convenient.

My husband and I chose this hotel for a recent stay in Los Angeles. We chose it because it was close enough to our daughter's apartment to walk to her. The pictures on the website looked much nicer than the actual hotel. It was reasonably priced for the area but they tacked on an extra $22 a day for a resort fee to cover their "complimentary" cocktail hour and workout room. The cocktail hour was a cart on the first floor that provided two beers or two glasses of wine per customer. It was very cold and rainy when we were there so we never were able to use this service. The workout room consisted of an exercise bicycle and a few free weights. Our room decor was charming Hollywood regency style. But the room smelled old and musty and the carpet looked like it hadn't been cleaned since it was installed. The bed was comfortable but the frame holding it was very rickety and made a lot of noise every time my husband rolled over. The shower was hot and provided good water pressure but the pipes made a racket anytime anyone in the floors above us took a shower. I would probably choose a different hotel for future visits.

For the price I'm sure there are better options. The carpet smells so bad. They sell instant soups and spice chips. There is no breakfast. And when we came in the night there was a flood with black dirty water in the bathroom floor and in the sink....of course they the room..and the pillows case seems to be used...I'm not coming back here. The location was useful.

Staying at the Carlyle inn was one of the best experiences ever!! My friends and I had the most comfortable stay there. The services were excellent and we were taken care off very well.|Mr. Roger helped us through our check-in process, both check in and check out processes were smooth and hassle free. We got the Executive king room which was really pretty and huge from inside, all three of us could sleep comfortably since we were also provided with an extra bed. Overall all of us were impressed by their services and would definitely recommend every I know to stay there whenever they're in LA for a fun vacation.|Thank you so much for serving us well. We were really happy and enjoyed every bit of it.

I had a great time here. From checking in to checking out. The staff here are great. Roger at the front desk was very nice and helpful. He made our stay here comfortable. He upgraded us to a king suite, which was perfect! Definitely will be coming back here!

Expectation versus Reality! We arrived in the hotel at 10am from our long flight hours but the girl at the front desk told us of early check-in fees which is too pricey. Then we asked to used their restroom but she advised us to go to the restaurants outside since their restroom is under construction, felt bad. Their room rates are high not worth for their service. Stayed for 3 nights but they never clean the room. There is coffee maker but no complimentary water available. Also, after taking a shower, the bathroom got flooded due to it having no floor drain… unsatisfied and unhappy guests🥲
