Buyer Beware
Stayed here in August 2012. Hotel room was fine but not so in the restaurant. The locale of the rooftop restaurant/pool area provided a lovely view of the Hollywood skyline. My girlfriend and I wanted to take advantage of it to end our evening. I checked earlier in the day to verify that it closed at 11 pm. We arrived there at 10:40 to have a starlit glass of wine. They rudely said we're closing so no glass of wine. I reminded them that closing was 11 pm but they said they were closing anyway. Of course, several other tables were full of patrons. I stepped away for a moment and my girlfriend said they had changed their mind. We sat at the bar and I quickly ordered two Petite Syrahs not bothering to look at the wine list because they were clearly not wanting to serve us anyway. The bartender poured what was left of a bottle, saying "We'll thats the last of it." He filled each glass about 2 oz. definitely not a normal amount. He then returned to his closing up duties. Still getting looks like "What are you people still doing here?" we quickly drank the little bit of wine and asked for the bill. It was definitely my error in not reviewing the wine list first, (I did the next day to verify the amount), we were charged $48.00 for those two sips of wine and with quite impolite and unwelcoming behavior part of the price. Apparently, management and/or staff of the Hotel Wilshire don't think they're in the hospitality business or don't really care.
