This hotel is in a convenient location within walking distance of numerous fine restaurants. The terrace at the entrance is a beautiful place to enjoy a drink and observe the numerous posers that seem to occupy this moneyed area of L.A, close to upscale boutqiues and restuarants. The room was fine, stylish, roomy, comfortable, if a little dark, and I had no problems with the soundproofing and noise of other guests which was my only concern upon booking. My only gripe was the level of service which varied greatly. The check-in receptionist was friendly and helpful, however the opposite applied with the surly moron who oversaw the check-out. A shame for an otherwise comfortable stay in the centre of Beverly Hills.

Your experience may be perfect for you. The hotel isn't expensive. As a boutique, it has that size and charm. Perhaps it was just my room. But my first floor room was dark and I suspect all the others match. Whenever the door to the lobby opened, my room door would "whomp" with the shift in air pressure. The person above me sounded like the Incredible Hulk, although I suspect it was just a guest walking normally. That's the room. There was no place to sit in the sun, even though there is a pleasant covered front "porch." No pool. No gym. I was bummed. For just a few dollars more, hie on over to the Hotel Palormar, a reliable Kimpton Hotel. Remember, that's just my experience. Others seem to like it.

My bf and I stayed at the hotel during a business trip with our small dog. When we first arrived our room was a bit small for our needs.....if I was traveling alone it would have been perfect. However, I expressed my discontent with Tristen, the front desk host, and he kindly let us upgrade to a larger space (we incurred the price difference).

The breakfast sandwich was my favorite item served....but all the food we had was great. Very fresh and nicely prepared. The breakfast server even brought us breakfast to our rooms which was very kind of her. They have a nice little patio right out front where you can relax, drink, and dine.

Overall....the Crescent was a great experience with an amazing location. We look forward to visiting again!

My husband and I found this hotel and a great deal online. What a stellar experience!!!! Each staff member on every shift was very accomodating, pleasant and courteous. The food was excellent and can be brought to the room. The charming touches of votives on the staircase, games in the game room and great patio seating make this quaint hotel a boutique unto it's own. The location was very convieniant and most things were within walking distance. They will be renovating this November, I truly look forward to seeing the changes! ! ! P.S. I think my favorite touch was on the pillow each evening, a little note and some taffy. :-)
