December 26 2007: Stayed at this hotel for a conference. They have wonderful food, fantastic bar, and is right next store to Grumman's Chinese Theater. You will see stars if you are there on a weekend, or movie premier night. This hotel operates the valet parking for the theater, which can be very frustrating. When the theater is busy, it becomes very difficult to get your car out. Wonderful rooms, excellent views. Walking distance to the walk of fame and several other fabulous tourist sites. I recommend this hotel for business travelers and families. I am not a big fan of LA, but this hotel made the stay more tolerable.
Date of stay: October 2007
