Fabulous upscale hotel with friendly, helpful staff.

The hotel has a convenient location to Hollywood Blvd., however a few things weren’t best. First, our room was not clean when checking in. The side table next to the bed had splash stains not wiped up; one towel was questionable in the bathroom as it was the only towel not properly folded as the others were - it seemed to be just thrown on the rack… didn’t risk using it given the side table mess. Secondly, the parking rates are straight extortion. $95 a night for an SUV - find street parking! Lastly, not really the fault of the hotel, but LA has a ridiculous “tax” in addition to all the other hospitality taxes, just for employee “safety.” Cleaning people can’t clean more than 200 square feet or something ridiculous per day - probably why the rooms weren’t the cleanest. That’s an additional hit on consumers bill, so check the total rate to make sure that’s included. I was not expecting it. Other than that, there’s a nice (very small) pool. Nice views. The rooms were ok, bathrooms are nice aesthetically, and not too many homeless right next to the hotel. It’s a 3 for me.

The hotel is clean, modern and well located. The main issue we had was with breakfast. If purchasing a room with breakfast included beware that this is only a continental breakfast (granola, yogurt, fruit) and nothing more. Basics such as tea, coffee or orange juice were not included and are an additional cost. This was not well advertised and, frankly, was very disappointing. I have never stayed at a hotel where tea and juice were not included in the cost of breakfast. This was such a major issue for us we wouldn’t stay here again for that reason.
