6. What time is check-in?

Check-in for most apartments is 2.00 p.m. although if the previous guest leaves early apartments are sometimes available earlier. If you wish to be certain of gaining access to the apartment before 2.00 p.m. it will be necessary to book it from the previous day. Apartments with receptions may look after luggage while you go out and have a bite to eat and have a chance to explore the area while the apartment is being made ready.

5. Must you arrive or depart on a Saturday?

No, all our apartments are available based on availability and allow arrival and departure on the dates of the guests’ choice.

4. Do apartments require minimum stays?

London Guest Suites have many apartments which permit stays as short as 3 nights. Some apartments require stays of one week or two weeks, and many of our corporate apartments require 30 days minimum stay. Apartments with one-week minimum stays are often such good deals that you may want to book it and use the first night as an early check in or the last night as a late check out.

 

3. How early should I plan my trip and rent my accommodations?

It’s best to book as far in advance as possible to ensure that your first choice of accommodation is available. If you are booking more than six months in advance, we might not have the next season’s rates, however we can make the reservation and then inform you of any price increases for that time period when we know. Please note that we also accept last minute reservations. You may find many of these are listed on our specials page of the web site.

2. Are there any extras?

There are no hidden extras in our quoted prices. They are fully inclusive of everything. Only the deposits which cover the cost of the telephone and incidentals is not included in these prices which, of course, is charged according to use.

1. Why rent an apartment instead of a hotel room?

Apartments are the growing alternative to hotels in Los Angeles. They provide more space, cheaper rates and a wide range of alternatives. Travelers will find many advantages to renting apartments instead of staying in large, impersonal hotels. One of the main attractions is the degree of personal freedom which is enjoyed. While every itinerant traveler enjoys the cosseting attentions of a good hotel, most acknowledge the existence of a “satisfaction barrier” which is breached after a few days.. Apartment dwellers, by way of contrast, are free agents. Not only are they spared the sometimes inhibiting formality of dining room dress rules, they are also able to utilize the kitchen facility to cook inexpensively for themselves. Apartment rentals offer unparalleled privacy, larger quarters, a greater selection of locations and more flexibility in planning. The cost of a week’s stay in a one-bed roomed Los Angeles apartment will generally average out to be 30% cheaper than hotel accommodation in a standard double room. Women, actors and business people can stay in peace and quiet rather than fight through a hotel lobby. With their own kitchen facilities they need not go out to eat or go down to breakfast. Short-term rentals are usually located in the most convenient areas of town, right near public transportation.
