DAVID, LOS ANGELES

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
It was a very nice, upscale corporate hotel. Obviously catering to Silicon Valley startups. Amenities were perfect and breakfast buffet and meal was a really nice plus. No complaints but one note, for the rooms themselves I wish there was an overhead light to light up the room in the evening. There were only lamps on headboard and on desk.
