I stayed at the Elan for 3 nights a few months ago. In town for work and the location was great for my purposes (getting to and from Gower Studios quickly). I already knew the neighborhood well, and it is a great one for seeing Hollywood, Weho, and pretty much anything you'd want in LA. The staff was nice and seemed helpful, although again I didn't really need info or anything from them so my contact was minimal. My issue with the hotel is simply that actual bed etc seemed barely over motel class. There was nothing particularly wrong with it, It just wasn't wasn't luxe by any stretch of the imagination. Bed was very hard, pillows were flat, linens were scratchy. The room was very warm, and although there was an outside "balcony" it was on street level facing a run-down apartment building and wasn't exactly enticing. At the time I stayed there was no onsite restaurant or bar so after a long day of shooting, relaxing in the evening and having a drink at the hotel was not possible. I think I paid just under $200 per night for the room, which frankly didn't seem worth it, especially compared to other hotels in LA at the same price point that had more to offer. Most likely I won't stay again.
