Really good Cuisine!

“I had the pleasure of dining at The Exchange, the lobby restaurant, and I cannot rave enough about the food. The chef was present and even came over to chat after I expressed how much I enjoyed the dishes. Each meal was beautifully crafted and bursting with flavor. It was definitely a highlight of my stay!” view full review

Great Fitness Center!

“I was really impressed with the fitness center located in the basement. It had all the basics I needed, including treadmills, stationary bikes, and weights. I appreciated the cleanliness of the facility, with plenty of sanitized wipes available to keep everything tidy while I worked out.” view full review

Vibrant Rooftop Experience!

“The rooftop pool area provided a lively atmosphere perfect for relaxation. Even though I couldn't secure a chair due to high demand, the vibe up there was fantastic. I enjoyed nice drinks while soaking up the sun, and it was a great space to unwind after a busy day.” view full review

Quaint & Cozy Rooms!

“I found the rooms to be quite charming. They were quaint yet functional for my needs. It was a plus that my room had a private bathroom, which added an extra layer of comfort to my stay.

The hotel is gorgeous, but the service is brutal. The staff do n't even know what literacy is, backward Los Angeles. This guy is driving around in a Lamborghini in Beverly Hills feeding guests a 6 pack of low brand Costco muffins that cost him $ 5 who pocketed about $ 150 K of guest money.
