Booked hotel through Hotwire for $165/nt on the premise it was a "4-star" property. It is better described as a high-rise Hampton Inn.
This property is a remodeled Holiday Inn, the style built across the US in the 60's, a round tower, well, almost round. Try 16 sides. Our room was rediculously small. No space for a closet. Only an armoire unit with the hanging rod 18 inches wide. Perhaps enough to accomodate a lone traveler, but, my wife was with me on this rare occassion. No room or stands for luggage, only precious floor space. Bathroom size was a joke. Counter space very inadequate. Should you choose to work at the desk, you will have the flat-screen TV about 12 inches from your face. And the TV is an off-brand 20-inch plasma with poor sound. Our room, on the 8th floor had a quaint view of the traffic on the 405. The traffic noise was not an issue since the droan of the wall-unit AC was incredibly loud.
The feature bar/restaurant, on the "penthouse" level, offers indifferent service and expensive drinks even for happy hour.
The fitness center is small and ill-equiped for an alleged "4-star" property. While using it at 8 AM in the morning I had to step around parents milling about as their children took swimmimg lessons in the adjacent pool. I was told the hotel leases out the pool to a Westwood instructor. The students included two diaper-clad babies. I would be concened about the e-coli level in that pool for the remainder of the day.
On a positive note, the hotel is most convenient to the Getty Museum. And the beds and linens are top-shelf and we had no issue with the comfort.
Otherwise, in summary, this place is a train wreck.
