Although well located, this property is definitely not a five star. It is getting somewhat threadbare and worn out. I stayed in a 2 room suite. The lighting is terrible, particularly in the bedroom. The carpets and the sofa look shabby. When we checked in the A/C sounded like a cannon and there was a distinct mildew smell. The front desk sent up an engineer but it still smelled. The hotel was full making it difficult to move. They serve coffee in the lobby but take it away promptly at 7:30 am, how about leaving it until 8? Are they losing that much money on coffee? The one kudo I can give the hotel is a really lovely staff. If they get the place refurbished it could be a lovely place.

We have stayed here many times (at least 8 that I can count). Obviously, we love it. We always stay in the villas rather than the main building (we've only stayed in the main building once) and can say with some authority they have everything you need/want in a room. Even if you can't afford a villa, stay here, the main building rooms are a great value for the money. Service here is very personal and friendly. I've never seen a place where the valet has your car up so fast (thanks preston!). This is a real WeHo location--right off of Sunset easy walking distance to Sunset Plaza etc. The great thing is that it's also on a very quiet street so sleep isn't a problem (unless you have partying neighbors, which did happen to us once). Musicians stay here alot and during our visits we have seen Jeff Beck, Steven Tyler, Gavin DeGraw and others. (Also spotted Andre Agassi, who is quite a bit taller than you might think just fyi). Chateau Marmont is fun for the experience (we have stayed there as well) but this place is just better all the way around.

I spent only 2 nights here but they were unforgettable. Loved the rock'n'roll atmosphere and the spacious, modern rooms. Definately want to go back there again.

We recently held our Quarterly Management Meeting at the Sunset Marquis. We used a one-bedroom Villa which accommodated our 7 participants perfectly. I was able to stay in the room the night before while setting up the meeting. The hotel has a wonderful atmosphere, walking through the gardens to our room. Service was great, dinner in the "Restaurant" was delicious and we very much enjoyed our experience. We often recommend this property to our clients.
