Lonely Planet review

Too authentically 1962 to be called 'retro', this longstanding favorite sits on a six-acre campus in the heart of the San Fernando Valley. Its 190 reasonably proportioned rooms, mostly in a five-story building, encircle palms, pines and a lushly landscaped pool, Jacuzzi and tiki-style bar.

Perennially busy if a bit long in the tooth, Sportsmen's Lodge recently came under new management by San Francisco's trendy Joie de Vivre group (which also runs LA's Hotel Angeleno) - little by little it's being renovated with eye-bending fixtures and furnishings. Rooms feature bath products from Bath & Body Works - 'executive' rooms throw in wi-fi for free. Owing to its location near TV and film studios, the lodge has long had its share of entertainment industry guests, but even non-celebs receive a warm welcome. The on-site restaurant is great value for everyday fare, but you're also close to the sushi shops and funky boutiques of Ventura Blvd.
