Concierge "An affordable bastion of cool aimed at the business traveler, the Standard is nothing if not amusing."
Fodor's "Built in 1955 as Standard Oil's company's headquarters, the building was completely revamped under the sharp eye of owner André Balazs, giving it a sleeky, cutting-edge feel." Full review
Insight Guides "One of the hippest places is the poolside bar on the roof."
Jetsetter "Downtown LA’s original party palace with a retro-style diner, killer pool scene and high-design rooms." Full review

Be sure to locate the complimentary ear plugs before bed as the rooftop party goes on until the wee hours.

"The poolside view is still hard to beat, the design is still striking, and the prices can dip way low." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Downtown’s first trendy hotel made an immediate splash when it debuted in 2002."
Star Service "The style, facilities and attitude-laden staff do their part to make this celebrity merry-go-round of a hotel stand on its own." Full review

Whatever you do, avoid the rooms near bars and dining outlets!
Gayot "A new era of revitalization for downtown L.A. took off running with the opening of the downtown Standard hotel."
BlackBook "Former oil company HQ. Rooms come in 10 sizes with hot stereos, giant TVs and some with transparent showers, so bring a conservative Christian friend and start snapping pics."
Zagat3.8
"For the "full-on LA experience", stay at this Downtown "hipster" boutique where you'll see "lots of movie stars – or attractive people who just look like stars"."

Frommer's "The CBS Studios across the street recommends the budget motel to its game show fans, but I recommend it just because I dig this chic little lodge." Full review

Request a room facing the alley -- the view is terrible, but you don't get the 24-hour road noise off Fairfax Avenue.
Concierge "You won't find actual farmers here, but the famous Farmers Market is just a short walk from this cute, family-owned hotel."
Fodor's "A favorite of The Price Is Right and American Idol hopefuls... this motel has a tongue-in-cheek country style: rooms are upholstered in blue gingham with denim bedspreads." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Denim bedspreads and rocking chairs give this flirty motel a groovy farmhouse vibe." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The “price is right” at this motel opposite the Original Farmers Market and CBS, which explains show contestants taping at the TV studio."
Rough Guide "Conveniently located across from (naturally) the Farmers Market,this is a newly renovated boutique property with internet access, DVD players, flat-screen TVs and elements of Midwestern kitsch."
Travel + Leisure "Straddling the line between Hollywood and West Hollywood/Beverly Hills, the Farmer’s Daughter Hotel offers travelers a bit of Southern hospitality in the City of Angels." Full review
Time Out "You can tell instantly that this was once a basic motel. It's a credit to the new owners of the gingham-giddy Farmer's Daughter that it feels pretty fresh." Full review
Star Service "Solo travelers will fit comfortably into the single rooms, but the larger double rooms are best for two travelers. Rooms with glimpses of the Hollywood sign are popular." Full review
Gayot "In a city where facelifts don't always work out the way one hopes they will, this family-owned motel has nothing to worry about."
