Purchased through Hotwire, paid $234 for a two night stay 19th-21st after returning from Mexican Riviera cruise on RC's Mariner of the Seas (look for that review at some point today). The outer appearance, the number of restaurants, the many stores inside (overpriced of course), gym, all 4 stars. Check in was quick and simple. Once we got on the elevator, it didn't have a pleasant smell and could have used some airwick/plugins. It was really unpleasant/annoying, I started breathing through my mouth after a while whenever we got on the elevator. Found out the hotel is pet friendly after the fact (had nothing to do with elevator/room smell, at least I don't think it did), and I LOVE dogs, (I have one and my dog smells much better than that elevator/room), but heard one on our floor 28th that obviously wasn't use to being by itself, whining for over an hr (at night) & we had to call the front desk twice. When we got off the elevator, hallway lighting dark, room carpeting dark, uninviting. Room was small/needs brighter carpeting. Room needs air freshener as well. Bathroom wasn't bad. The Bonaventure Brewing Co. inside hotel had great service and very good food. Glad I had $25 restaurant.com coupon, paid $33 for meal for me & hubby.
When I was doing an expense voucher for my boss (attorney) he stayed at the Sofitel for $200 for 2 nights in LA, wish I had gotten that hotel. It would be interesting to see the list of hotels that are contracted with Hotwire. Normal cost would have been over $500 for 2 night stay and I would have been very unhappy had I payed that price.
