Close to all that matters... Your LA home in the 'hood
This terrific hotel has good rates, if you manage to get one of their specials. The staff are all attentive and pleasant, the King Suites are very spacious and well-appointed, and the wine hour is always a treat. Located on Wilshire Blvd., my favorite traffic artery to get anywhere in LA, this hotel is a short drive to Santa Monica, UCLA, Beverly Hills, Hollywood.... And Westwood village is a great little spot to walk over to and wander a bit. It feels like one is living in the neighborhood. Whole Foods is right there, a couple of good pizza joints, cinemas, and neighborhood restaurants. Make LA feel like your other home, and stay here. Marks were deducted for the smallish pool (which is still a great amenity when traveling with kids), and the expensive valet parking.... You can park free on the streets, but be VERY careful to read and understand the signage, or your car may be towed or ticketed. We were there for 4 nights without any such problems. We loved this place, and would certainly return.
