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.

“Good spot to rest your head”

The bed is great, they accommodated my early check-in. Nice room, overall satisfied with my three day stay. The check-in process was smooth and quick. The courtyard area was really nice and inviting. For booking online and having not been here I am happy with my stay.

“Honest and thorough review”

This is a diverse and honest review based on our stay. It should be noted first and foremost that the hotel is undergoing construction in the main courtyard. It appears this construction will be going on for quite some time. This was NOT disclosed when we booked our stay. And, it was not closed off when the workers left. If guests have kids, keep an eye on them should they choose to wander into the construction area. Here are a series of notes: 1. The location is great. It’s just a short drive to the Cedars-Sinai facilities and a short walk to great food venues along Pico. The area feels very safe. 2. The parking area is very tight and very limited. Anything larger than a small SUV will have trouble getting in and getting out. Also, there are very few on-site parking spots. And, the cleaning staff parks there as well. 3. The building has a cool, retro vibe. My wife and I appreciated the art deco colors and details. Keep in mind that this also means that everything is dated. Outside, they have broken tiles in the walkways, cracked and peeling paint, funky conduits and pipes running every which way. In our room, the retro furniture was pleasant but the bathroom had old caulk joints, cracked cover plates and a damn-loud bath fan. 4. The beer and wine reception is a joke. Part of their Urban Fee included a beer and wine reception in the courtyard. Since the courtyard is under construction, the reception was nowhere to be found. We inquired at the front desk and the attendant went into a storage room and brought out some old wine bottles and a couple cans of beer. While the attendant was gracious enough to give my wife an unopened bottle of Yellowtail, we later found that it had turned to vinegar. 5. The sun deck was closed off by caution tape due to the construction. Again, part of the Urban Fee is access to the sun deck. At this point, I believe the Urban Fee means they have a functioning front door that accesses a sidewalk. 6. The picture of the “fitness room” clearly illustrates how large the fitness room really is. It was an intimate space with my wife on the treadmill and me between the wall and the dumbbell tree. In other words, even one person in the room would be considered a crowd. At least they have a treadmill, a recumbent bike and a dumbbell stack that goes from 5# to 50#. 7. It’s an older building, so expect to hear your neighbors. In our case, a couple with children checked in next to us at near midnight and proceeded to loudly crash about the room like it was recess at the grammar school. 8. The lobby was a bit odd. Besides some obvious signs of construction, they have a funky coffee area and a microwave on a stool. The good news is they have tons of Cup-O-Noodles and M&M packets available if you have the willingness to spend $2.50 for a cup, not a bowl or plate, of noodles. I reached out to the management about our stay and received no response. For the right price, this hotel is worth it even with the construction and oddities. We, however, did not pay anywhere near the right price.
