Farmer's Daughter Review

Most people end up at the Farmer's Daughter hotel fortuitously because they're waiting to be the next contestants on The Price Is Right. 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. It's cheery from the moment you walk in the lobby. Bright yellows and cool blues mix well with the country-kitsch theme: rooster wallpaper, faded barn-wood paneling, denim bedspreads, cow-skin rugs, and a parade of inflatable animals that float around the pool. It's obvious that someone with smart fashion sense and a little money turned a dumpy motel into an oasis of stylish affordability. It's also obvious that someone with a good sense of humor was behind the "No Tell" room, which is outfitted with a giant copper-framed mirror above the bed. Money-saving perks include a free DVD library and across-the-street access to an entire farmers' market of inexpensive foodstuffs. It is irksome, however, that you have to fork over $20 for a valet to pull your car into a spot that is probably right in front of your room. Since the hotel opened its own comfort food restaurant, TART, there's the option of staying in, though in my opinion, it would be a great loss to miss the people-watching and dining experience unique to the iconic Farmers Market. Tip: Request a room facing the alley -- the view is terrible, but you don't get the 24-hour road noise off Fairfax Avenue.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
