Loved almost everything from the staff interactions to the lovely dinner and breakfast served at their restaurant. Areas a little rough to get find at first, but once called we were directed to the front for valet. Gets my stamp of approval .
Food is excellent. Any meal we had there was very good. Service is a little slow
but other than that we really like it!
The bed was not as comfy as the first time we were there 2 years ago :(
The mattress needs to be refreshed. One side was deeper than the other.

Lovely hotel. Room was beautiful and comfortable. Staff very nice. Bar had good cocktails and the patio was very pleasant. Valet parking was reasonably priced and convenient. A nice relaxing stay. We were upgraded to a courtyard room from a snug, which was nice as it seemed a good deal more spacious. It’s also a terrific location if you want to be near Thai Town/Los Feliz/Silver Lake or Griffith Park. Only caveat is courtyard rooms open right onto the restaurant, so there’s normal restaurant noise. It didn’t bother us but if you wanted to go to sleep early or sleep in late it could be an issue.

Great stay, loved it. I wish the bed sheets and towels were a bit softer though. Valet cost was high considering there was no self park option.
As well, there was a hair not belonging to us upon entering our bathroom and a brown stain that seemed to be from someone’s period. These were small blemishes but still, not nice to see.
