Stylish family fun
Stayed at the W Hollywood this past weekend with family (2 adults, 2 girls). We absolutely loved this chic hotel conveniently located to many of the sights we wanted to see. Would definitely come back.
Top 10 things we liked about the W Hollywood:
-Staff: Extremely friendly with smiles all around. Brian at the front desk was a gem - personable, warm, welcoming and efficient. The cleaning staff were lovely as well.
-Window seat in the room: Fun addition. One of our girls insisted on using the wondow seat as a bed. Great for curling up on and reading a book (or people watching).
-Aromatherapy: We all loved the Bliss infused room, redolent of a soothing but fresh spa. The best smelling room we ever stayed in. Hands down. Fun to pass the Bliss spa to and fro the elevator since we stayed on the third floor. Loved the Bliss products in the bathroom.
-Beds: We found them very comfortable. The low beds were easier to sleep on frankly, and were almost Asian-styled in this way.
-Pool: Fun rooftop pool. Could be a little more heated for the cooler days.
-Coffee in the morning: Fresh and free in the lobby.
-Sweat gym: Spacious with usual stuff (treadmills, dumbells) but also with a large stretch room and a punching bag to get out your Hollywood aggressions.
-Location: Metro stop in same area, and easy access to highways for motoring around. Good restaurants within easy walking distance as well as kid friendly eateries as well. Book of Mormon production right across the street.
-Acura care service: Free and convenient for a 5 mile radius.
-Trader Joe's: In the same block. Good for getting last minute munchies and fruit.
3 things to improve on:
-Internet $$: Free access in the lobby, but would love if you didn't charge for room access.
-Valet $$: Convenient and friendly but $30 per night is a bit $teep, even by San Francisco standards.
-Key cards: Elevators need to be a bit more responsive to key cards for access to rooms. Minor point.
