Hip Hotel
If you have stayed at a W, there are not a lot of surprises here. However, the rooms had lighter colors than some Ws making the guest rooms seem a bit brighter Ws which was nice. Also, (with the exception of one bartender) the staff at this hotel was noticeably better than at the average W. The hotel has the W beds which are great.
The bars on the first and second floor were very busy on the weekend with lots of nonhotel guests. The hotel also provides the Acura experience car service in the evening which is nice and was easy to book.
Guests should note that because of the sliding doors involved the bathrooms in the guest rooms do not provide much privacy. 
The hotel is in a fairly convenient location for sightseeing and shopping.
