Great Vibe, Walk to WeHo
Very nice vibe and mood at the hotel-- funky lobby, art, and bar, and very European rooms (albeit very small). Stayed here in February 2012 and enjoyed our stay. Good hotel right across from Beverly Center shopping and within walking distance (10 minutes) to WeHo clubs on Melrose and Santa Monica Blvds. If you get a GOOD DEAL, this is worth it. Otherwise do not expect a 5-star hotel. 4 at best. I would not pay more than $250 a night for a room.
Only BIG disappointment was the pool area-- very small and uninviting. Looks like it was added as an afterthought to the hotel in a vacant corner. Not worth going to hang by the pool.
Exercise room/spa were GREAT. One of the nicest hotel gyms I have ever seen with a huge selection of weights, cardio, etc. Free for hotel guests.
