Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a retro LA vibe with rooms that can be a bit smelly due to cigarette smoke from the balconies. It feels more like a motel than a hotel. On the bright side, the service is excellent with very friendly and accommodating staff who make you feel welcome. The location is nice, especially the diner restaurant for breakfast, but the aesthetic effort seems more focused on the restaurant than the rooms.
Our stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms were super safe for our 1-year-old and easily accessible for quick walks with the dog but fell short of the website description in terms of attention and quality. The service, although slightly rude at times, was incredibly diligent and helpful. The location was nice, perfect for producing great Instagram pictures, but the lack of staff in certain areas was noticeable. The dining experience, while in the hotel, was overpriced for items not used, but the European food was satisfactory. The facilities overall were decent but lacked some attention to detail.
The hotel is located on Sunset Boulevard as I requested, offering a convenient stay for exploring LA. The rooms with a huge bed were comfortable, but the noise from guests walking around upstairs was a downside. The service was wonderful, with friendly and helpful staff, making my stay enjoyable. While the dining experience was not very good and has room for improvement, the hotel's facilities impressed me with one of the best LA pool scenes in the summer.
The hotel provided us with a room that had a balcony overlooking the LA city skyline, offering a picturesque view. While the room met our expectations as it was everything you would expect from The Standard, the small gap under the patio fence hindered us from enjoying the outdoor space with our dog effectively.
The hotel offered mixed experiences; the rooms were disappointing in decor but provided amusing views despite some inconveniences. The service was a hit-or-miss, with friendly encounters but lacking efficiency at times. The location, though vibrant, could be overwhelming during peak hours, especially around the pool area. The dining options were limited, yet satisfactory, and the facilities were moderately appealing.
The hotel is ideally located with easy access to nearby restaurants. The rooms, although clean and somewhat sparse, can be noisy with a noticeable squeaky sound. The service was generally friendly and accommodating, making me feel like a valued guest. The location, perfect for walking or using ride shares, worked well for my needs. However, the dining options were limited and not very good, lacking variety and quality.
The hotel had a great vibe and fun places to hang out, but I wouldn't stay there for too long. While the service was pleasant overall, there were some instances of arrogance. The location was convenient to explore West Hollywood but suffered from the noise, and the dining experience left much to be desired with limited options and unexpected charges.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not so great aspects. The rooms had every amenity you could wish for but were due for a renovation.

The dining experience was amazing in the diner, and the facilities were satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was nice with a balcony, but the noise from the nightclub next door was a major issue, especially with kids. Despite being on the bottom level with no view, the room was fairly nice. The service was amazing and very friendly, which made up for some of the room inconveniences. The location was convenient for our plans, although the noise from the nightclub was a drawback. The dining experience needed improvement, lacking in hearty options, but the cream cakes were a tasty treat as a compensation for an incident with my shirt. The facilities were decent but could use some enhancements.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms had a classic yet minimal style that let in enough sunlight despite being on the ground floor. They were old but cozy. The service was exceptional with diligent and friendly staff who went above and beyond, especially when I had flight delays. The location was ideal, buzzing with a lively crowd and within easy reach of West Hollywood hot spots. However, the dining experience was subpar, and the prices did not match the value offered.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had a 50's vibe to them, which turned out to be much nicer in person than expected, especially with the balcony and double beds. However, the air conditioning seemed to be just a fan blowing air, which was a downside. The service was friendly, but not always efficient. The location was buzzing with activity, especially during weekends, despite some cleanliness issues after peak usage. The dining experience was average, not very good compared to previous visits. The facilities were decent but lacked some key amenities.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although spacious, lacked any charm with outdated decor, and my requested pool view was nonexistent.
