Carey Mulligan Snubs LA's Luxury Hotel Scene, Stays in a Best Western Instead
Now, this is refreshing--a young Hollywood starlet with actual talent is staying sensibly in LA while shooting her next movie. Carey Mulligan, last seen in "Wall Street 2", has chosen to spend her nights at the Best Western Hollywood Hills Hotel instead of one of the town's luxury hotels.
The Daily Mail reports that Carey opted for the B-Dubs after breaking up with boyfriend, Shia LaBeouf, while she was still required to be in LA for a movie shoot.
A staff member confirmed yesterday that the London-born actress booked into the standard room with a queen-sized bed two weeks ago. ‘This is more a place for back-packers, students and those on a budget,’ said the source.
'I was stunned when I saw Carey walking across the lobby. You would expect her to stay at the Four Seasons, not here.
‘She is very easy-going. She hasn’t made any special requests and doesn’t ask to be treated any differently. She keeps herself to herself and seems quite happy here.’
While we are sooo happy to hear that Carey is not blowing her life savings at the Chateau Marmont, we think Best Western might be unnecessarily roughing it. Right now, the exterior and the lobby are undergoing some construction and the rooms have major anti-views of the 101 Freeway.
True, the place does have free WiFi and the famous 101 Coffee shop on site but she could do just as well at the Andaz West Hollywoodor the London West Hollywood, two hotels where we think your money goes a lot further than other spots (both have free WiFi for one.)
Or she could even go back to The Orlando which is where the Mail reports she stayed before moving into LaBeouf's Valley mansion. Then again with rooms starting at $109 a night including a refrigerator and a microwave, maybe the B-Dubs is simply too hard to resist.
