We stayed here for 2 nights from May 29th. What a great location, above the Valentino boutique, smack bang on Rodeo Drive. Youre paying for this location though as you can probably get better value for money elsewhere. On 1st impressions its lovely, we were in room 306 and were very happy with everything when we checked in. Now, we never stay in expensive accomodation, only in mid range motor inns, otherwise we couldnt afford to travel as much as we do, so staying in this kind of establishment was a real treat ( never had valet parking before etc.) We had our 15 year old daughter with us which I infomed them of on our initial booking. At check in we were given 2 vouchers for b/fast, i asked for the 3rd one for my daughter and was informed that 2 is all we will be getting. I didnt want to push the issue, as they may have not charged us for her staying ( if they did, i couldnt have afforded it ) . We got 2 robes which were nice , I was the only person to use one anyway. The rooms are small and clean till you scratch below the surface. One doona cover had 3 buttons missing which looked tacky, the bedside table was made of chipboard and painted white and looked like it was from Ikea.The t.v had a problem that made it go static every 5 minutes or so. I dropped something near the desk and when I went down to pick it up I saw what looked like a cup of coffee had been spilt all down the wall onto the carpet. We didnt sleep at all as a Double bed is too small for my husband and i. Our daughter slept wonderfully! I was expecting 2 queen beds but the rooms wouldnt cope with that. The Valet was great, whenever he saw us coming he sprinted to get our car, he couldnt have been more helpful. I found some of the desk staff looked down their noses at us, Im sorry, when I travel I wear jeans and runners , Im not going to get dressed up just cause Im staying on Rodeo drive. We had out free breakfast on the 2nd day in the dining room which looked very lovely when we got there. Everyone else was very well dressed, I would say that this is a very popular place with business people. The brekky was very nice fresh orange juice and a muffin served to our table. My napkin was stained and the linen tablecloth had a paper overlay which was rather tacky. The milk for our coffee was off, so they promptly brought us another pot and fresh milk- which again was off! So my daughter didint miss anything by not getting breakfast. Rodeo Drive is a very intersting place, obvioulsy very clean and safe to walk around. We had tea at Nate and Als Deli around the corner ( near Starbucks which is where we got all of our coffee as they dont supply it in the rooms) and that was a step back in time and very enjoyable. This was at the end of our trip and for the previous 2 weeks we had been using a phonecard to call home as its much cheaper. We were never charged at any other motel for dialling out except this one,( we had to dial a toll free # to connect) They charged us $1 each time we dialled out, even though we were using a system that didnt cost them anything. I wouldnt stay here again .
