We stayed at Maison 140 for three nights and whilst the place is far from terrible, there is enough wrong with it for me not to want to stay there again.
The biggest problem is the noise. Seriously, the noise is the worst i've ever experienced. I could hear the people in the room above me walking around, talking, using the loo and worse. Then there is the noise outside the windows. I was in a room on the ground floor and every morning at 6am a laundry truck would arrive and park outside the window, and then the laundry guys actually worked out there, sorting linens, chatting, etc.
The air-conditioning system was very noisy too and rattled whenever we turned it on. Thankfully, it was November so we didn't need to use it but guests staying in the summer months would certainly get irritated by the racket it makes.
I stayed in a Mandarin room which is the larger of the two room types on offer. It was an okay size but certainly not large, and whilst nicely decorated some of the furniture was quite shabby. There was a tear in the upholstered seat at the desk and the padded cube in the bathroom (great idea for anyone that takes ages drying their hair) was badly scuffed and beaten up.
There are some good things about Malmaison 140 though! The Beverly Hills location is great with tons of shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The beds and linens are really comfortable and sumptuous. And, the price is great for a hotel in a location like this.
However, if you are planning on staying here, bring your earplugs!

This small hotel feels very French. We stayed in one of the Mandarin rooms. What I liked more than anything is that the hotel has not been decorated to within an inch of its life but is incredibly stylish all the same. The staff is attentive but not formal. We arrived after the appointed time for evening drinks but were served glasses of wine without even asking. This hotel will not be for most people because of the lack of typical ammenities usually found in boutique hotels (ie room service, phones that conect to the front desk easily, spa) but it is on a quiet neighborhood street and is not unreasonably priced.

I thought this hotel was lovely and had a great location right in the heart of Beverly Hills just off Santa Monica Blvd. On arrival we were given a very welcome glass of wine and our room was a parisian one which was a good size with everything you need. There was a complimentary laptop in reception for guests to use which was also good. We were on holiday but I got the impression this hotel caters for a lot of business people normally. I would definately recommend staying in this hotel.

There's a saying, you get what you pay for. Not with Maison 140. This is a very expensive hotel located in Beverly Hills, CA but for what you get, you really waste your money. First of all, parking is $21 a day and WE had to park our cars ourselves. Check in took longer than 10 minutes and the internet service that's provided is the use of an antiquated laptop that you mostly see the staff casually using themselves. The lobby is painted in black but when we got to our room, we were blinded by the bright yellow non stylish wallpaper. They need to hire Nate Berkkus or Jennifer Lopez's designer to add some vitality to this hotel. The rooms are incredibly small and the bathroom is even smaller. I felt like I was in a stateroom on a cruise ship. The tub was stained, water was leaking from the faucet and the carpet had an odor in it. Just when you think things could get better, you're introduced to an expensive boutique breakfast that is limited and flavorless. They nickel and dime you at this hotel. They honestly should be ashamed of themselves. Stay here if you like but know that you've been warned. It's a dump!!
