Music

The services were excellent. However the trance music in the common areas was way too loud, impeding even normal conversation. I would expect a hotel dedicated to old Hollywood would play big band and jazz music. just saying.

The staff is absolutely phenomenal. From the moment you enter the hotel every single person no matter the position is ensuring you are well taken care of. The front desk was so amazing. The dining room staff could not have been more accommodating. The servive was top notch and the food was incredible. The omelets were my favorite, cooked to perfection. The chef remembered my order the next day Impressive!!! The bellhops were very efficient and friendly. Try this hotel you will not be disappointed. Also the decor is straight out of a architectural magazine, very beautiful.
