Stayed at the Beverly Heritage in June 2007. While all rooms have been renovated, and it's desperately trying to be a boutique hotel, the renovations are a facade over what is, at it's core, a very, very old hotel. If you are sensitive to smoke, stay away. While only the 3rd floor is smoking, the hotel is old enough, that ALL rooms have been smoked in and ALL rooms have that subtle smell of an old ashtray. The furnishings have been replaced, so they don't smell, but the old smoke permeates the walls and is present none the less. It's worse on the second floor than on the first, but it's there none the less. As for the renovations, the beds are adequate, the sheets somewhat thin, but look closely and you can see that the doorjams are 30 years old, the cottage cheese ceilings are 30 years old, the ventilation is 30 years old, and putting a fancy, "hip" looking mirror on a 30 year old bathroom door, really isn't going to fool everyone. However, except for the age and the smoke, the rooms are quite clean, but for me, the leftover smoke from years when there were no non-smoking rooms is enough of a deal breaker to keep me away. For that reason, and the fact that the renovations have papered over, but not really renovated a 30 year old hotel, I would NOT give this 3 stars. I've stayed at the Crown Regency about a mile away (also a priceline 3 star hotel) and the two are simply not even close to being in the same overall class. I will not bid on a 3 star again in this location because I do not want to stay in the Beverly Heritage again.
