    "We were excited to come to this hotel because it was advertise as a luxury boutique hotel in Beverly Hills. It's not when we checked in. We were given our room for two people, and there was no door to the bathroom. My partner requested another room, but was told that they don't have a room available. The other person said all all their rooms don't have bathroom doors. It was very inconvenient. Another huge inconvenience with the parking situation. I believe part of the reason why I chose this..."
