Lovely hotel. Room was beautiful and comfortable. Staff very nice. Bar had good cocktails and the patio was very pleasant. Valet parking was reasonably priced and convenient. A nice relaxing stay. We were upgraded to a courtyard room from a snug, which was nice as it seemed a good deal more spacious. It’s also a terrific location if you want to be near Thai Town/Los Feliz/Silver Lake or Griffith Park. Only caveat is courtyard rooms open right onto the restaurant, so there’s normal restaurant noise. It didn’t bother us but if you wanted to go to sleep early or sleep in late it could be an issue.

When making a booking, consider requesting specific needs. The dining area was too close to my room, with tables only about four feet from my door, which made my early evening a bit uncomfortable. The 7:00 a.m. kitchen wake-up was manageable given my schedule. I will stay again.

Great stay, loved it. I wish the bed sheets and towels were a bit softer though. Valet cost was high considering there was no self park option. As well, there was a hair not belonging to us upon entering our bathroom and a brown stain that seemed to be from someone’s period. These were small blemishes but still, not nice to see.
