You know how it is if you stay much in LA: location is everything. If you are doing business in the Century City or Beverly Hills area, not having to fight LA traffic is a must. I had meetings at Fox Plaza and this was, essentially, right across the street. Also, it is just down the block from the Century City mall.
Pros:
1) Location, location, location
2) Service. Great staff - helpful and pleasant.
3) All the amenities you would expect from a four star hotel
Cons:
1) The amenities are expensive and not that extraordinary. Wireless is slow and expensive. The small bottled water (no free water, even in a Luxury Suite) is $5.50 a bottle. The mini-bar items are both ordinary (e.g., Snickers bars, no really good chocolate) and ridiculously expensive. Same with the in-room dining - really, really expensive and mediocre.
2) Related to the above, but not exactly the same: the hotel is not particularly "au-courant" with regard to, well, anything. At a similarly priced boutique hotel, for example, you would expect more fashion forward decor, as well as, perhaps, a better selection of bath products, mini-bar items, etc. This may seem nitpicky, but for the frequent traveler, you should at least know what, exactly, to expect.
Bottom Line: nice place to stay if you are doing business in the neighborhood - not a must stay or destination spot.
