It was Beverly Hills… just hard to navigate and a bit underwhelming as far as the hotel is concerned. The parking was a bit odd too.

Amazing stay! Perfect location, nice staff. What they can do better: put a multi machine on Gym area, fix A/C from Gym, put a shower at the Pool, have better options for breakfast at the restaurant. Overall it's amazing!

9.8/10 Exceptional! (113 reviews)
This property was beautifully renovated. I visited with my teen daughter and felt very safe in the hotel and surrounding area. This hotel is very centrally located so if you are looking to hit up many sites in LA this is a great spot. Quiet and a little off the beaten path but definitely walkable to shopping (Century City) and Beverly Hills area. We booked the Gold level and it was great, They had a separate concierge lounge that you can get small breakfast items/appetizers/snacks and grab water/soda on the go. Bella (the other staff as well in the Gold level) were super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!
