The Crescent Hotel Beverly Hills, Sonder

I stayed at The Crescent Hotel Beverly Hills, Sonder in February 2025, and I have to admit—before arriving, I was a bit nervous because I’d read some negative reviews. But after my stay, I honestly can’t understand why! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful from the start. The hotel itself is charming, clean, and tastefully decorated. My room was very comfortable and cozy, and everything felt well taken care of. The only downside is that there’s no elevator, so getting luggage up and down the stairs was a bit inconvenient—but really, it wasn’t a big deal in the end. I know LA is so spread out that there’s no perfect location for everyone—it depends on what you want to visit. That said, I really liked where the hotel was situated: just a few blocks from Rodeo Drive, in a quiet and safe area. There’s a Cheesecake Factory within walking distance, plus a few fancier restaurants as well. It’s also only about a 10-minute walk to a stop for the main hop-on hop-off buses, which made exploring the city super convenient. There’s also a lovely restaurant inside the hotel. I didn’t get the chance to eat there myself, but it looked great—definitely a nice option to have on-site. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!

My teenage daughter & I stayed here for a night passing through town & it was perfect! The boutique hotel was very quaint & all the staff very kind. The room was small but clean & perfect for the two of us. The location was great & we walked to all the shopping spots & restaurants. The hotels restaurant was very cute & good too. I would stay here again for sure!

It was clean and safe and worked fine for a place to sleep. For the right price, id consider staying again (it was $100+ cheaper than other options I looked at for this particular stay). The room was way smaller than I expected. I've stayed in a 220 sq ft room in NYC with a king bed that felt larger than this one did with a queen. And the bathroom had a weird unfinished aesthetic and was very challenging to navigate. (Plus didn't have a shower curtain; I'm sure I could have requested one at the front desk, but seems like a major thing to have been overlooked by housekeeping).

Great location, good hotel if you plan to not be inside often! Showers are very small, my husband is 6’5 and barely fit. Rooms have fridges, great bed, and room was clean. No elevators, but it’s only two floors.

I traveled solo to attend a meeting in West Hollywood. This hotel is very basic but also very clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, bathroom clean, sheets and towels nice and clean, there is a mini fridge. Nothing fancy but all great for me. Also, very close to restaurants so I didn't need to drive much. I parked in the lot across the street and it was $40 for the entire weekend (Friday till Sunday). The only inconvenience for me (because I was traveling solo) is that I had to lug my luggage from the parking lot to the hotel.

I have stayed in more than 30 hotels travelling to LA and this is the worst so far. The only positive is that it is close to Rodeo drive. Every other thing is bad. The rooms are terrible , the bathroom are nothing to write home about. The door lock was screaming battery low. The Tvs were made in 1990s i guess. The picture online is so different with what is on site.

Awful experience, DO NOT STAY HERE. We checked in around 8PM and were told that the room we booked months in advance was not available. We were not given any advance notice and were basically told to suck it up and stay or find another hotel at 8PM. Are you kidding me?! On the second day, we were informed by the booking agency that the hotel would provide a sofa bed so that all four people would not have to share the same bed, as they were forced to the previous night. The hotel did not follow through with this request either!! What an absolutely awful experience. The front desk staff were rude and unresponsive, I've had better customer service at motels. NEVER AGAIN.

Location is by far the biggest winner. Room was kinda small and had no work desk. Bathroom privacy was horrible with a glass door and big gaps around the door. No real lobby in this hotel. They won’t clean your room unless you pay $40 for it, that was such a bummer. The luggage storage closet was a nice feature that we used on our last day while we went to get breakfast.
