The Carlyle Inn truly feels like a hidden gem in the area. As someone living in L.A., I booked my stay here to escape the heat, and it turned out to be a great choice. The air conditioning in my room was very refreshing, and I found the bed and pillows incredibly comfortable—definitely the best sleep I’ve had in a while! Everything in my room was just perfect. I missed out on the happy hour, but it’s a nice little bonus they offer with drink tickets before a certain time. If you're looking to save on parking, there are plenty of spots along Robertson Blvd after a certain hour. For visitors coming from out of town, this location is ideal—right in the heart of L.A., just about 20 minutes from all the hottest spots, with no traffic issues. Also, the staff is incredibly kind, and I can't wait to go back for another mini staycation.
