The Farmer's Daughter is a delight! I'd had some doubts about staying here, as some old-timers I know thought it used to be a "no-tell motel" kinda place ... but it was clean, safe, and neat as a pin. I would definitely stay here again. If you're traveling alone and on a budget, it's a very good place to stay -- not seedy like a lot of the affordable Hollywood and mid-Wilshire hotels, and not haughty and overpriced like a lot of the Beverly Hills places with delusions of their own grandeur. Sure, there's a bit of traffic noise, but in the morning you can see the sun hit the top of the Hollywood Hills, and just across the street is the Farmer's Market with lots of quiet places to enjoy your coffee. With the Farmer's Daughter outdoor sitting areas and pool, you can really soak up the sun (and the sunsets). And who needs a gym? With the lovely Pan Pacific Park just past the Farmer's Market, you can get a good workout in before breakfast. As for the mandatory valet parking, it was no problem. They were wonderful about keeping the car up front while you loaded or unloaded bags, they were very prompt to retrieve the car in the mornings, and not having to look for parking was very convenient.

The Farmer's Daughter is at once old-fashioned sweet and delightfully corny, and as long as you're not looking for five-star amenities, you'll find this place a no-frills, affordably-priced delight. Enjoy!

My first stay last year was great, the rooms where clean and the staff was very friendly. My girlfriend and I returned again this year looking forward to another great stay, but this time around many things changed for the worst. An unexpected addition was the valet parking, which was ok but many times where not present to greet us, on one occasion I ended up parking the car myself. During our first night the front desk was somewhat clueless about the area, for ex. he did not know the name of the restaurants or movie theater across the street and was not very outgoing on trying to find out. The second day was worse, the bed was not made and toilet was leaking, and after complaining to the front desk, their only response was "the cleaning staff is gone", that's it no apology, and when I asked for one, it was given to me with a really nasty attitude. After complaining to the management about these problems, they where kind enough to discount our stay. I do like the Farmer's Daughter, but unless that unpleasant staff goes, I'm not sure that I will return.

It’s great to see this retro gems retained and updated for the 21st century. The place is faithful to its roots, a bit camp, a little rock’n’roll and perfectly positioned – right across the road from the Farmers Market and The Grove mall and all the sights to see in the Wilshire district – the tar pits, Petersen Auto Museum, the Ambassador Hotel, the Seinfeld apartment block, and Macarthur Park. Staff were great, friendly and helpful, the rooms were comfortable with some delightful touches like a rocking chair. You may noticed a little traffic noise but with the price and the style it was worth the just the smallest annoyance. I’ll definitely stay here again.

I stayed at the Farmer's Daughter last Saturday night. This place is a trip! The lobby is really cute, with the farm theme. It cracked me up when the clerk emerged from behind the back wearing overalls and a checkered shirt. This hotel appears to have been a converted 50's LA motor/hotel. The way they modernized it with the country/hip theme is quite neat. I loved the picture of the hound on the bedroom wall. Yes, as other reviewers said, there is no view. I didn't go for the view, I went for the location - and it is a good, central location. There is valet parking steps away from the registration desk.
