The verdict

Who's travelling?

Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.

Read it your way

Set directly on the Sunset Strip, this hotel offers Mediterranean-styled accommodations within walking distance of local shops and dining. Guests appreciate the quick check-in, easy Wi-Fi connection, and generous free breakfast served across two dining areas. However, traffic noise can intrude on rooms facing the boulevard, and bathrooms lack adequate counter space. 1487
