Cute hotel, great location, good service. Stayed at the Chamberlain for a week and the room was big and clean. Rooftop pool was very nice and not crowded. Getting your car from the valet was easy if you called down from your room first, but most of all it was in a great neighborhood location but very close to all the action in West Hollywood.

Fabulous to look at, but you can tell it's a cheap paint job with a great decorator. I decided to check out the Chamberlain since my normal hotel, the Sunset Marquis, was under construction. I expected more for the almost $350 rate, but like the other reviewers, I was very disappointed in the 1) noise factor and 2) sub-par bathroom. Although a bad bathroom does not kill a hotel experience, it is worth pointing out that the shower water pressure is more a trickle.
Other misses: the internet connection is S-L-O-W, the tv is small (for the relatively large room), and floors creeky (again, signaling the on-the-cheap renovations).
Some pluses: great fireplace (not sure if all rooms have them, so would be wise to ask), good room service from the Bistro restaurant, and the valet staff (always had my car ready and were super friendly).
If you decide to go, avoid a first floor room.

Don't be fooled!

This hotel is a turkey pretending to be a peacock. While their publicity photos made this hotel look attractive and inviting, after settling into our room we discovered what it really is: a noisy & trendy establishment boldly operating out of a cheap, 1976 apartment building that was converted--apparently on a budget--to a hotel. Yes, the front desk staff is cheery and accommodating, and the decor is chic (the lobby is decorated in a swank, retro style and the spacious guest rooms are treated in a tasteful, sea-foam green decor). However, their efforts stopped there.

Our first night was completely unsettled by a late-night party on the first floor that finally subsided at about 5 am the next morning. Despite several calls to the night manager, he failed to stop the party. Again, a smaller party developed on the seventh (and last) day of our stay; but we managed to shake off the noise and get some sleep.

Our list of complaints goes on: True to 1970's construction standards, the walls are thin, the doors are flimsy and the windows are original vintage: dull-aluminum-framed, single-pane and broadcasting outdoor noise into your room. Like a prying neighbor, we learned the arrival and departure habits of surrounding guests by the slamming of their doors. Even in our late-spring visit, the wall air conditioning units failed to keep the rooms comfortable, dripped on the carpets, and, during yard maintenance, sucked ghastly volumes of leaf blower dust and exhaust into our room. The common hallways were stifling (as they were cooled by only one air conditioning unit) and the elevators were suffocating hot. Their supposedly high-speed internet access service was frequently overloaded. The electrical service surged--most noticeably at night when our dimmed bedroom lights would annoyingly flicker and then go out altogether. The battery to the bedroom's portable telephone was always running low. The room's cheap ironing board failed to firmly lock into position and collapsed under normal ironing pressure. And finally, their cleaning staff failed to properly rinse their glassware, leaving behind congealed dish soap that made for an unpleasant sudsy tonic.

The bathroom was a major disappointment with a total lack of comfort that you would normally expect out of luxury accommodations. It was plainly uninviting, with little effort made to update the apartment building's original appointments--outside of changing the flooring, faucets, towel-bars, etc. It became most apparent whenever we gazed down into the original vanity topped by a chipped and rusting sink, showered in the narrow stall enclosed by a corroded glass door, waded in dirty water due to a slow shower drain, or dealt with lingering odors and steam due to the absence of a modern ventilation system.

For the amount of money that you would spend at this glorified motel, you're better off exploring any number of alternate upscale hotels in the Los Angeles area.

We were given a room in the back on the ground floor facing an apartment building. You could not tell what the weather was outside. It was dark. I think it is an alternate lifestyle hotel, and we were there with our kids, did not feel comfortable having them there. The gym was small but clean. The bellmen doing valet parking were very polite. The bartender gave us some tips where to go she was very nice.
Will look for something else next time we are in the area.
