Bevonshire Lodge Motel

First off, there is free parking for guests here, but it's in the form of a small number of narrow carports out back accessed via a back alley. My little civic fit in just fine, and another guest even fit a large pickup in a port, but anyone hauling a trailer or driving an RV will NOT fit in the parking. The larger parking lot visible nearby, as the manager will warn you, does NOT belong to the hotel and you will be towed if you try parking there. Be aware. Hotel manager came off a bit cold at first, but ultimately turned more friendly and was quite interested in striking up conversation about where I was from and other details (like my university sticker, special license plate, etc.). I think the initial attitude was because he mistakenly thought I was a different person who had illegally parked over two spots in the carport (that person got towed, btw). Courtyard looks run down, but the room itself was unexpectedly large and in good condition. Bed was comfortable. Internet worked well. Decent choice for a relatively cheap stay in LA. The big bugbear that marred the experience is that the walls of the building are sadly thin. Because the hotel is located in an active part of the city, this made it very hard to get to sleep. You can hear everything outside, from cars to people talking, even with all the windows shut and sealed. I didn't explore much, but this hotel is close to the art museum, La Brea Tar Pits, and there seem to be a lot of restaurants nearby.

I was on a limited budget 2-days business trip. I tried to stay in what I thought to be a reasonable motel. It turned out to be by far the filthiest motel I could have imagined. Just as an example: the bathroom basket used a dirty grocery plastic back (it was obvious that the same bag was reused in the same basket for some time). The bathroom floor, fixtures, shower were so dirty. The TV remote was filled with oil grease (Maybe pizza left over). Don't get me started on the condition of the carpet, and bed sheet. I requested a change of room, I was given a room with slightly cleaner bathroom floor (& TV remote) but same overall filth. I cut my trip short and didn't stay there the 2nd night (even-though it was paid for) Do yourself a favor and consider alternatives. I have been traveling on business for over 28 years. I swear this is the first time I leave a bad review.

Amazing experience! Highly recommend Ed!

Central, convenient, location; spacious, comfortable room. Microwave and refrigerator.

No body at front desk to check us in. Trouble with TV, bathroom fixtures broken. Overall very dated but functional. Convenient location

Very convenient for what we had planned. Walking distance to The Grove event we attended. Needed a place to shower and change.

Indian night manager complete a-hole

Nice place. Convenient location.

Really good. Regulars here. Serves its purpose. Late night r&r. 5 stars for a 2star motel.

Very hospitable,kind and respectful staff. Great location!
