We stayed here last week and I must say it was exactly what I expected.
It's a fun, clean & well designed motel. My boyfriend especially enjoyed the free carmels and chocolate and the AMAZING shower which he describes as like being under a waterfall. It's a great place for a few nights to sleep. The one thing I didn't appreciate was that upon check in I decided that later in the week I had plans to travel to palm springs and they would not let me cancel or change my reservation without being fully charged. I wound up just paying for the night and not staying there for that night. I returned back to the farmers daughter refreshed from Palm Springs and I have to say it felt good to be back at the F.D. I'd definately stay here again! I hope they keep their prices so reasonable. Oh and eat breakfast at Cantors - BEST PANCAKES!!

The staff was very nice. When we first arrived, I had to sign off on a sheet that said I would be responsible for anything missing in the room. Well the list was long and items quite expensive! I specifically asked for a copy of this so that I could check. Everything was in order. well I arrived home and a few days later I received a letter that my credit card had been charged $30 b/c a pillow was missing from my room! I was furious. This hotel obviously looks for loopholes like this to make more money. I immediately called the hotel and demanded a manager who I explained the situation to who in turn talked to the maid who said she had my room mixed up with someone else. Luckily I got my money back but because of this, I will never stay here again. Why deal with that hassle? The maid made a 'mistake'? I don't think so, like I said, its a ploy for an extra buck. There were other hotels closer to the strip that I was weary of because of the location, but they would have been better/closer than the Farmer's Daughter and safe too. The rooms were clean and nice, but it was the strangest hotel I have ever seen. Also, quite noisy.

It's hard to write a bad review for the FD because they are so darn nice and they really try to do their best. Everything about them is cool and great but the actual accomodations are weak. The rooms are loud with lots of street noise. Maybe if you get a room not facing the street. But then you will be facing someone's apartment. But if you get the rate at under $100, it really is a good deal. I feel they gouged me because we went during the Oscars. $125. Great location and FREE parking. Free DSL too. It isn't luxurious by any means, but it is stayable and clean. And the staff is very friendly. No carpet in the rooms.

I stayed there because I heard some good things about it and I wanted to give it a chance. If your interested in hanging out with Price is Right and tourist from the midwest then you should feel right at home.
The design has great inspiration, modern farm theme, hardwood floors, nice logo, but the overall execution is greatly lacking. Its a lame attempt at cool. Its like a bad Mondrian, Standard, Viceroy, Avalon wannabe. My advice...renovate again and this time do it right. The location is perfect but if you want a LA hip scene where celebrities might show up,this is not the place to see or be seen. Stick to the other places.
