Crowne Plaza Beverly Hills

Luxury hotel in a luxurious place for a luxirious price. I stayed...wait..I lived...in this hotel for a month! It was great. The people were very nice and welcoming. It is very close to the famous Rodeo Drive, the Beverly Hills Mall, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Sunset Boulevard, and so on...and yet away from all the hustle and bustle. It is in a very quiet neighborhood near Universal Studios and walking distance to the Museum of Tolerance. It is also accessbile to Santa Monica Pier by car or bus.

This hotel is good for people that do not want to be in the 'frenzy' of L.A. There was buses that passed by and of course, taxi's available at the door. Carparking was at a cost. We stayed there because our travel agent booked it for us. We didn't have a problem with the hotel, we had a nice clean room. There was a swimming pool on site. There was a restaurant that we didn't use. Also there was a bar area in an area that was used for breakfast. However, in this area you could also buy meals like pizza or crumbed chicken. Good food when you don't feel like having anything flash. We sat and had drinks there. We were within easy walking distance of a couple of restaurants. The consierge was very helpful. We proberbly won't stay there next time as we would like to be some where closer to the "buzz"
