Very clean residence hotel, with a kitchenette and living area in our free upgrade to a 2 BR/2BA suite, thank you very much! When we tried to get an upgrade based on our Marriott status, they informed us that stays made through 3rd parties could not be upgraded. We reluctantly accepted and went to our smaller 1BR/1BA studio suite.
We were taking in the courtyard view, which was reminiscent of our Marriott stay in Zurich a few months ago, when we were surprised by the phone ringing. Management decided to upgrade us on their dime anyway, since it had not been made clear to us during the reservation process. We graciously accepted and enjoyed our stay with the included breakfast buffet, which remained open an extra hour due to the guests that kept a steady flow to the buffet. The friendly staff remained smiling and kept the chafing dishes full of options, without any show of concern for the overtime.
The location is a bit removed from the action of the city. You will need a car or Lyft wherever you go, with the edge of Beverly Hills proper being almost a mile away. If you drive there, look closely or you will miss the vehicle entrance.
If you want a quiet place to stay with plenty of creature comforts of home, we highly recommend this Residence Inn!
