Hmmm, will do the bad first: The bathroom and sink areas are extremely small. The toilet and bath/shower are in small room with a door. The sink and mirror right across the entry. There is almost no counter space. Our room (#204) had no balcony although the website said it would; we were also missing a lighted makeup mirror that was included on the web. The workout area, again is very small, with only a few pieces of equipment, and is outside. I have a hard time using the elliptical or treadmill in 80 degree weather!
However, now on to the good: As mentioned in several other reviews, the staff were fantastic (especially the guys doing the valet parking). The lobby is lovely and has 3 computers available; wireless was available in the room. The Bistro and surounding area is one of the best and most spacious food areas I have seen (after having stayed at Courtyards in several states). It had a nice wine list and numerous items available all day that should meet many palates. There were lots of tables and booths available (booths had their own tv), as well as a nearby area with couches and another large tv.
The location is excellent: Ralph's grocery store is across the street, Westfield Mall within walking distance (~10 minutes); easy drive to Beverly Hills, Hollywood. And is in a great neighborhood for doing a morning walk and observing lots of 1920's and 30's era houses.
