The Elan Modern is a nice hotel, not as posh as the photos may make it seem. It is a good deal for the location 2 blocks from the Beverly Center. No swimming pool, bar or restaurant, although you can order from diner across the street. We drove to the Farmers Market for meals a few times. Bfast buffet not too exciting, cereal, bagels, juice.
The staff was nice, the valet service very fast. We did have to move our room - it got very hot on 2 afternoons so they moved us. There are only 2 floors so it is nice to get in and out to your room. The elevator made a lot of noise.
We drove to several studios, up Mullholland, to Hollywood Blvd, and for our four days everything was pretty close.
If you want a very high end LA experience, this isn't your hotel. But a good value, clean room and nice staff makes me recommend it.
