Beverly Laurel Motor Hotel: Your Dream US Getaway Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into a review of the Beverly Laurel Motor Hotel – "Your Dream US Getaway Awaits!" - and let me tell you, dreams… well, they're messy, just like life.
First off, the accessibility. They DO claim wheelchair access. Now, I didn't personally roll around in a chair (though, after that buffet, I felt like I needed one), but they tout facilities for disabled guests, and elevators are an absolute must. I always recommend double-checking directly with the hotel about specific needs. Because you know, getting to the room is kinda… important.
Accessibility Score: Needs to be verified at the source.
Now, let's get down to brass tacks – food. This is where things get interesting. They've got a ton of options. And here's a pro-tip: always check for a happy hour. It's the law of the land, people!
Restaurants: Okay, they have restaurants listed. Multiple. A la carte, buffet, Asian, Western, veggie options… It’s a culinary smorgasbord… or, you know, whatever you're into. I’m a sucker for a good buffet, though. Always have been. The Buffet. It's where dreams are made and waistlines are…stretched.
Breakfast: Buffet, yeah, but they also throw in a "takeaway service" AND room service. Morning lazy days? Sign me up. "Breakfast in room" is always a good start.
Drinking: Bars, poolside bars…they’re here. That's all that matters.
Foodie Score: 4 out of 5 stars, pending buffet awesomeness verification.
Cleanliness & Safety is important, and they seem to hit all the marks: hand sanitizer, staff trained in safety protocol, daily disinfecting, the works. They even boast "professional-grade sanitizing services." I appreciate this in the post-pandemic world. Not gonna lie—I’m a bit of a germophobe, and anything that feels safe is A-OK in my book.
Cleanliness/Safety Score: Solid 5 out of 5 stars. Peace of mind is priceless really.
Internet Access. This is where it gets truly beautiful. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Now, I can't tell you how many times I've had to wrestle with a hotel's Wi-Fi, only to end up tethering my phone. The Beverly Laurel promises Wi-Fi for special events, and internet - LAN. Wi-Fi in public areas, internet services. They are doing it right.
Internet Score: I give it a flawless 5 because of free wifi. Amen!
Things to do, ways to relax? Oh, baby, do they. The website description boasted a "Pool with view". And, a pool! A sauna! A spa! A gym! A view?? Oh, they claim a view! Okay, this is when I start to take off my shoes and get ready for some serious chillaxing.
Relaxation Score: Pending view and pool verification. But, the potential is high.
Services and Convenienties. They are offering a laundry list. From Air conditioning to Airport transfer. From Business facilities to Concierge. From Car park (free of charge) to Food delivery. They are including everything.
Services and Convenienties Score: 5 out of 5 stars. They offer everything.
Rooms. Yes. Rooms. Now, here's where the rubber meets the road. I NEED a good room. Air conditioning (duh), air-conditioning (also duh), a desk (I sometimes pretend to work), a mini bar (crucial), and free wifi. It also looks like they've got smoking area, and non-smoking room. The list is long. There's the sofa. There is a separate shower/bathtub. There's a frigging bathtub phone! And, the little details, like the "slippers," are a nice touch. I appreciate a good slipper.
Rooms Score: Subjective, but potential for a 5/5 depending on the view and bed comfort!
For the Kids: Babysitting service, kids facilities. Family/child friendly. You are covered.
Kids Score: 4/5 stars.
Getting Around: Airport transfer, they got car park (free of charge), car park (on-site), taxi service, valet parking.
Getting Around Score: 5/5 stars.
- The Imperfections (Because Nothing's Perfect): Okay, let's be real. No hotel is perfect. I didn't personally experience the entire list of amenities. I've made assumptions from the website. Double-check what's important to you.
- I hate smoking areas – but, okay, that's a personal beef.
- Sometimes, these "views" are… well, let's just say, they generously interpret the term "view."
- The buffet, always a gamble.
Getting Around: Airport transfer, they got car park (free of charge), car park (on-site), taxi service, valet parking.
Getting Around Score: 5/5 stars.

Indonesian Paradise: Your Luxurious 1BR Suite Awaits (FR10)Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your meticulously planned, perfectly-packaged travel itinerary. This is more of a… a vibe. My LA trip to Beverly Laurel Motor Hotel is gonna be a delicious, chaotic, and probably slightly depressing (I’m prone to nostalgia, okay?) exploration of myself against a backdrop of mid-century modern chic. Don’t judge.
The Beverly Laurel Breakdown: A Soul-Searching Staycation (Maybe with More Pizza Than You Think)
Pre-Trip Panic Attack (aka, the Arrival)
- Day 0 (or, the Before-Trip-Trip): Okay, so I booked this, right? Beverly Laurel. Classic. Always wanted to stay there. Then, the anxiety hits. Did I pick the right room? Will the parking be a nightmare? Am I enough to be at a cool place like that? (The answer is probably "no," but let's roll with it.) Pack, unpack, and repack my bag at least three times. Realize I packed way too many "hopeful" outfits and not enough "surviving on pizza" outfits.
Day 1: Arrival, Art Deco Feels, and Existential Dread
- 1:00 PM: Arrive at LAX. Try to look effortlessly cool while wrestling with my overflowing suitcase, which is currently threatening to explode and take out a small family.
- 1:30 PM: Find a rideshare that actually shows up. Haggle with the app to ensure the driver understands my obsession with a quick route to the West Hollywood hotel.
- 3:00 PM: Check in. Pray to the interior design gods that the room looks as good in person as it does online. The lobby's cool, though. Mid-century modern, as promised! (Deep breath. Okay, I can do this.)
- 3:30 PM: Room inspection. Success! The room is surprisingly… peaceful. Except for the faint hum of the air conditioner, which is already triggering my inner monologue about the inevitable march of time and the slow decay of everything.
- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Unpack… Sort of. Mostly stare out the window and contemplate the meaning of life. Stalk the pool area for a few minutes; I want to know what I'm getting myself into, if it's a pretentious pool or a very friendly one.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Pizza! First taste of Los Angeles. Find a classic pizza joint, or have one delivered to the room. A big ol' slice of pepperoni is essential for my emotional well-being. Actually, order two. Okay, maybe three.
- 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Sunset walk down to the Sunset Strip. See the iconic signs and maybe spot a celebrity, but mostly take in the… well, the vibe. It's loud. It's chaotic. And it's somehow comforting. Reflect on my life choices, the ones that led me here and the ones that didn’t.
- 9:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Back to the hotel. Watch a cheesy movie on TV. Eat the leftover pizza (because, let's be honest, there will be leftover pizza). Feel strangely peaceful.
Day 2: Poolside Dreams & The Cult of Caffeine
- 8:00 AM: Wake up. Feel groggy. Groan.
- 8:30 AM: Coffee! Crucial. Hunt down the nearest, hopefully decent, coffee shop. Ideally, one with a cute barista who will pretend to find me charming. (Fat chance, but a girl can dream.)
- 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM: Pool Time! Okay, deep breath. Time to embrace the California sun. Attempt to read a book. Fail miserably because I'm too busy people-watching and judging everyone's swimwear (and, let's be real, myself). Get slightly sunburned.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch. Probably a salad. To atone for the pizza sins of the previous day. Or maybe another slice. Don't judge.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: A Deep Dive into… The Hotel's History. Okay, maybe not that deep, but try to learn a thing or two about the Beverly Laurel's architecture, the area's history, and how it became so popular.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Explore La Brea, a hip street near the hotel, with tons of shops, stores, and restaurants.
- 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM: Dinner somewhere trendy. Hopefully successfully navigate a restaurant without looking like a total tourist. Order a fancy cocktail that I probably won't enjoy but will look good on Instagram.
- 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM: Evening activities. Maybe catch a jazz show or explore the area.
- 10:00 PM: Settle back in the room and read.
Day 3: The Melodrama & the Departure
- 9:00 AM: Wake up. Feel less groggy, but the existential dread is back. Think about how quickly the trip is flying by.
- 9:30 AM: Breakfast. Probably yogurt and granola. Feel slightly virtuous. Briefly.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Visit the art galleries.
- 12:30 PM: Last lunch in LA! Try to find a memorable place.
- 2:00 PM: Back to the hotel. Start packing. This time, actually pack. Attempt to leave room in my suitcase for souvenirs and regrets.
- 3:00 PM: Say goodbye to the room. Feel a pang of sadness. This place, even with its quirks, has grown on me.
- 3:30 PM: Check out. Make sure to tell the front desk how much I loved my stay. (Even though I low-key wanted to run screaming from the pool on Day 2.)
- 4:00 PM: Taxi to the airport. Reflect on the entire trip. Did I learn anything about myself? Probably not. Did I eat pizza? Absolutely. Am I already planning my return? Oh, you know it.
- 6:00 PM: Fly Home.
- 6:00 PM: Reflect and prepare for departure.
Post-Trip Afterthought (aka, the Emotional Hangover)
- Once home, I would unpack, and be struck by the lack of sunlight, and the return to routine. But, I would remember the Beverly Laurel, the sunshine, and the pizza.
- Probably start planning my next trip. Because, let's be honest, the soul-searching never truly ends. And neither does the craving for pepperoni.
So, yeah. That's the plan. It's not perfect, it's not polished, but it's me. And hopefully, it'll be fun. Or at least, interesting. Wish me luck. And pack your own pizza. You'll thank me later.
