Second time we have stayed at the Luxe and have enjoyed both experiences - large, well equipped rooms with excellent bedding - particulralry good deals for the Jr. Exec Suite which we got at an excellent price from Expedia/Hotels.com weeks after we originally booked thru hotel web sites - which will generally match lower rates - two sections to the hotel and we have found the spa section with pool facing rooms to be the best - quieter, spacious with balconies - excellent staff - located a bit out of the busier areas of LA but if you have a car it is within short driving distance to Brentwood, Santa Monica, Westwood (UCLA), Bel Air and not much longer to Venice, Hollywood, W. LA - also right off of the 405 which when not in rush hour gets you to the valley, downtown and connects to the 10 towards the beach, Venice and LAX very easily - would recommend for any type of traveler but car is really important (probably true in most of LA) - lounge and restaurant could be improved

I really enjoy my trips to the luxe hotel sanctuary spa. The pool area is very peaceful and beautiful. Excellent service from all of the spa staff make every visit great and they really make us feel relaxed. I really recommend this spa for a relaxing day of pampering yourself .

I liked the luxe. We stay here from time to time when unable to stay with family. Restaurant on site is good and not ridiculously priced.

The last room we stayed in had a lot of noise from the sliding door and the mngmnt sent someone up right away to fix it. I will say, the noise off the freeway is intense if you open the doors, so if you want super quiet, look elsewhere.

The positive aspects of my recent stay at the Luxe were its location and pleasant/well-meaning staff. That said, this facility seems to show its age and feels a bit shopworn. More than that, there were some quirky aspects of my room; no smoking room (with $ penalty for violating well noted) but an ashtray and matches prominently situated next to my bed (!); the location of toilet paper dispenser requires an act of physical contortion to reach (!); when I returned to my room around 2:00 on the second day of my stay, the room had not been made up and there was no maid in evidence in my hallway -- I found one who came ten minutes later but managed to take my bathmat without replacing it; and so it went.

The other odd aspect of my room was that there was no desk! There was a ledge with a stool on which I could sit and use my laptop but not exactly a comfortable "feature" or one that caters to people who need to use the computer with any frequency during one's stay.

Still -- if you need to be close to people or offices in Westwood or Brentwood or want easy access to the 405 freeway, the location is excellent.
