Read and believe!! The consensus is that this small hotel COULD be good but isn't. Oh how I wish we had checked out TripAdvisor before we booked. The awful smell is still there....causing an allergic reaction after a hour or so....and like other visitors we couldn't figure out WHAT could have caused it. The hotel charges for everything....WiFi, the little... more

What a disappointment. Maison 140 should be a gem of a hotel, and might be, if the staff gave a hoot about their guests. The location is good, the decor is interesting and hip without being over the top. But the rest.....sigh. When we checked in we asked about wifi and were informed that it was available for a fee... more

Maison 140 is clearly designed as a boudoir experience with an excessive luxurious experience. While the decor is good, the quality of the furniture is poor when examined closer. The interior is actually fairly standard Californian architecture and the black paint is clearly intended to hide this. It certainly is true to the spirit of LA for its veneer of... more

The hotel is definitely one of a kind but is not for the average traveler going to LA to stay at a huge mega fancy pants hotel. Maison 140 is a sleek, dark, seductive hotel that has always meet and surpased all of my expectations. The hotel really reminds me of my european travels, where you find a small group... more

The building is old and stuffy and it smells like feet in the rooms and hallway! What a waste of money! The only good thing about this wanna-be boutique hotel is the location... I would never stay there again. more

This hotel is definitely in a convenient location, and adjacient to the Peninsula at a fraction of the price which is great. The common areas are fine, very hip and dark. The problem is with the rooms. They are VERY small, and not very clean. The bathrooms are tiny as well. My main complaint is the noise.....you can hear everything,... more

It's an average hotel in a central location, around the corner from CAA and restaurants close by .. not that anyone (other than a crazy New Yorker like me) walks in LA. It's a wonder why they even bother to have sidewalks in this town. The one night I stayed, I did walk about 3 city blocks to a sushi... more

Beautiful hotel off Santa Monica, close to everything (I guess, you do have to drive everywhere in LA so what does close really mean?) Anyway, beautiful hotel...my room was spacious, comfortable and beautifully designed. A nice treat on a biz trip. Room service was good, too. Only draw back: my room had a weird musty smell...thought it was me, but... more

Maison 140 is probably a bit of a love/hate option depending on what you're looking for. We booked primarily for the location and, having stayed at some other fairly central areas in LA, Bev Hills is our favourite and we found it a lot more chilled and friendly than many people may expect. Our alternative choice, The Standard, was just... more
