“Jacuzzi, View, & Caramelized Banana Tarts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

This was the perfect weekend getaway-- even for someone who lives in LA! Our Vista Suite was absolutely beautiful with the biggest jacuzzi bath I could have dreamed of. The view was unreal, the staff was lovely, and when one of us wasn't feeling well in the middle of the night we were even able to ask for a humidifier to be delivered to the room.

The location is definitely walking distance to Westwood Village, but it's a bit of a trek. Also, if you're planning on bringing a car, be aware that overnight parking is $30 (per night), but the attendants at the valet were very helpful in recommendations of where to find street parking in the neighborhood.

Also, GO WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS given at the restaurant! I was hesitant about the banana tarts but now I dream of them...

Room Tip: If you can swing it, go for the vista suite. It's not an exaggeration-- the view is unreal!

“Upscale Experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed in this hotel because of it's close proximity to UCLA. We were given a room on the 19th floor with a spectacular view. The beds were very comfortable and the room was clean. Loved the wonderful shower head and the fashionable fixtures in the bathroom. The hour long "free wine" in the lobby was a great way to cap off a busy day. Very "boutiquey" and modern lobby had a lounge feel. Staff was friendly and extremely accomodating. Would stay here again.

“Very nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Hotel was great.. Check in was quick and easy, rooms was modern and clean.. The service was great except for the wake up call that came at 5am instead of 8am, but they quickly compensated for that by comping the valet parking for the night. I would definitely stay here again!

“Not the usual Kimpton”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012 via mobile

people found this review helpful

Lobby, bars, service up to the usual Kimpton standards but the bathrooms seem in need of a refresh. The toilet flush is loud enough to startle anyone in the bedroom, hot water takes quite a while and the showers are quite antiquated.

“Great Quality, Price and Location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Made a reservation last minute and got a great deal on a great room! The staff meant all of my requests (a quite upper room with foam pillows) and gave me also a free upgrade. The bed and room was very comfortable . . . a topnotch boutique hotel! I work in this area a few times a year and will look forward to stay here again!

Room Tip: ask for the back of the building for a quite room
