It was an exceptional experience! Kiki & the entire staff were super friendly & helpful.
We arrived at 10AM & they stored our luggage (no charge) while we went out for the day. Upon returning at 3pm, Kiki walked us to our room where they'd already put our bags. She explained our room key would also unlock the hotel's front door. We appreciated they kept it locked at all times; you could either ring the bell to be let in or use your key.
I selected this hotel for its proximity to the Hollywood Bowl since seeing a show was the whole reason we'd flown to LA. The excellent reviews were the other reason I chose to stay here. And boy, it did NOT disappoint!
We were in Rm 14 - Rita Hayworth. It was spacious, clean, & the decor was funky and classy. As others have said, the bed was really comfortable. We slept great & were impressed at how quiet it was in our room, given we were facing the street.
I opted to pay the extra $30 fee for the aperitif hour (5-6pm) & coffee/tea/pastries/fruit breakfast (7-10am). Definitely worth it when you consider what we would've spent on a few glasses of sparkling wine, unlimited coffee/tea, chocolate croissants & muffins if we'd gone to a restaurant for that.
If you're going to the Hollywood Bowl, THIS is where you want to be. I had looked it up on Google Maps & still didn't realize just how easy of a walk it would be.
THANK YOU to the entire staff for making this trip with my daughter an incredible memory! We WILL be back!
