Elan Hotel, 8435 BEVERLY BLVD , Los Angeles, CA We just arrived from Cairo, Egypt May 10, 2008. The hotel is located in Beverly Hills, have access to Hospital, restaurants, Beverly Center Shopping Mall, etc….It is a boutique hotel elegant and peaceful. We preferred to stay there than going out. We were greeted with a friendly staff, incredible service; we... more

The staff was amazing from check-in to check-out. The renovations are almost complete, and I didn't hear them working on anything during our stay. The room was decent, kinda small but had everything we needed. Flat-screen tv, fridge, mini-bar, and a comfortable bed. The only problem was the AC didn't work in the room on record-high setting days. The hall-way... more

My daughter and i arrived May 12. At check in they asked if we would mind having seperate rooms as the aircon in our booked twin room was faulty. We were delighted after spending too much time together over previous 2 weeks! Every staff member was friendly, efficient, thorough and very helpful this was our 15th hotel in 2 months... more

I stayed at the Elan Hotel this April, on the first floor, right next to the construction area. Until it was daytime during the week, you could not hear ANY noise in the room - it was silent. Even during construction, the rooms were immaculate, the staff was as nice as ever (I have stayed here for the past 6... more

We booked this directly, got a great rate from the hotel and then, when we checked in, received an even lower rate! While we were there during the last two days of renovations, our stay was way beyond our expectations. I don't know why anyone on this site was unhappy -- and I'm really picky about hotels (ask my husband).... more

I don't know why other users are complaining so much about this hotel. It is being renovated at the moment, but our stay was absolutely pleasant. The room is not big but it's ABSOLUTELY clean (they wash the sheets every day but you have the option to decide whether you prefer them being washed every 3 days to avoid wasting... more

We chose the Elan from the Tripadvisor and found it to be a big disapointment. Its in need of a refurb. The ground floor rooms were being painted when we visited but the smell of paint went all through the hotel. Something was also wrong with the A/C on the first floor the rooms vibrated at certain times. The room... more

Stayed her for 2 nights on a 3 week tour of Cali. Booked it on the recommendations of this site (Was no. 1 in LA at the time!) and having paid over the odds for a 3 star (?) hotel was very disappointed. While the location is great for shopping and touring Hollywood the hotel itself is cheap and shoddy.... more
