“Great location....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013

We stayed here for a couple of nights during January and apart from its great location the rest was fairly ordinary. The room we were given was next to a laundry that went all hours and also next to a car park that was full of drunk people until 4:30 each morning. The room was reasonably spacious but was tired with shabby vinyl valance, terrible stained carpet and grubby bathroom, all first impressions. With attention to aforementioned items this place can be up there with the surrounding hotels I have stayed at. We were also late charged for minibar that I paid cash for on check out.

Room Tip: Ask for a room away from carpark.

“I Want To Love It But...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 10, 2013

I need to travel to LA every couple months for business and our business is in WeHo. I've kind of resigned myself to making The Grafton my base hotel. It's about three blocks from our location, and its not too terribly expensive. BTW, I find that booking directly can be the least expensive. But I digress. Well, the location is great. The pool is really nice, and they have some nice pockets of hideaway space. But the lesser expensive rooms are really, really small and in the basement. I feel like a serf down there, and the wifi sucks big time down there. Also, the wifi is third party thru AT&T which is crazy as AT&T has a million free hot spots. The hotel has faux-sexy photos over the beds, and an odd jungle theme. I don't know - at least it's clean. Oh yeah, they have a sign that says restaurant on it, but o restaurant plus it's serve yourself coffee on the basement in the morning.

Room Tip: Don't stay in the basement

“Upgraded to a great room!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 9, 2013

I first checked in to one of the king corner rooms, which had a great view of downtown, but it was an overcast day. The room was a brown mustard color and I was jut not a fan of the decor. I asked for a change and was shown several other rooms (one with a stripper pole); I finally settled on a red and black room with a silly round bed. The room should've been $60 more, but they gave me the upgrade for free. The room was terrific, and the entire staff was super friendly and helpful. You do have to get over the fact that the only food available is delivery from Saddle Ranch across the street.... but they keep the fridge well stocked with beer and snacks! For a really fun room right next to the Mondrian (for less than half the price), it was an absolutely wonderful experience!!

“Amazing Place To Stay and Feel at Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 5, 2013

I must say that i was not expecting to have such a wonderful stay being that my trip started off on the wrong foot with another hotel (which i will not mention) Grafton was a last minute decision as i drove up and down the boulevard....And WOW I am so happy I did!!! Isabella at the front desk was extremely helpful and sympathetic to my situation. Isabella was a life saver! Both Managers Carlos and Sunny came out to greet my daughter and I, and even upgraded our room which was a nice gesture. They also provided us with lots of information from where to dine and where to shop. Everyone from the Valet employees to the housemaids were pretty cool and extremely helpful! The rooms were impeccable, always fresh linens. Fresh Coffee every morning and smiling faces. The hotel is in a great location for dining and shopping. This will definitely be my new home away from home!

“We loved the Grafton on Sunset”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 4, 2013

My friends and I came up for my 47th birthday. From the moment we checked in,we felt very welcomed. The concierge as the desk offered to make us reservations at the Sur and when their were none available he made some suggestions.
A darling young man named Frank bought our luggage to our room and asked if there was anything he could do. He told us about the hotel shuttle and told him he would be glad to make some recommendations and also tried making reservations at the SUR. He gave us other recommendations and booked us a dinner time.
He picked us up from the hotel and dropped us off at our destination.
We loved his recommendations!! He treated us " old ladies" with such care and sincerity.
I own my own business and it is rare to find such good talent, honesty and sincerity. He made the trip so comfortable for us. I prefer boutique hotels vs. the large name chains for the special treatment.
Even the valets were kind.

My friends and I are still talking about our experience. Rooms were clean and comfortable.
